Handle Home Appliances
Carefully
Food processors, mixers and
blenders have made home cooking
easier, but they have also made it
easier for cooks to injure them
selves. About 7,000 people visit
hospital emergency rooms each
year with an injury related to one
of these appliances, according to
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
Most of these injuries can be
avoided by following simple,
common-sense guidelines.
• Read all instructions. This will
reduce your chance of being in
jured and prevents damage to an
expensive machine. Not only that,
food will taste better if properly
prepared. Keep your instruction
book on file so you can refresh your
memory from time to time.
• Supervise appliance use when
children are around. Children

often don’t realize how powerful
these machines are and a
moment’s distraction can be
disastrous.
• Avoid contact with moving
parts.. Contact with blades or
cutting edges is the major cause of
injury. Many appliances, like food
processors whose blades spin as
fast as 1,700 times a minute, are
designed with safety features that
keep the machine from operating
unless the safety cover is on, but be
sure the cover is locked into place.
• Use a food pusher to slice or
shred food. This makes it im
possible for fingers to touch the
discs that fit into the top of the
work bowl.
• Don’t reach into the chute. If
your machine becomes jammed,
make sure it is off before at
tempting to unclog it. This is
especially important with blenders
or mixers because the blades are

easier to reach.
• Unplug appliances when not in
use, before inserting or removing
parts and before cleaning to
prevent a machine from ac
cidentally being turned on and
causing an injury.
• Handle blade carefully. This is
common sense, but many cooks
still suffer injury because they do
not think before they act. The most
commdn injury is dropping a blade
into soapy water and then reaching
in to pick it up. Keep blades on the
counter until you are ready to wash
them. Also, never remove food
from a blade with your finger.
Scrape it off with a spatula.
• Unplug an appliance by
grasping the plug and pulling in
from the electrical outlet. Don’t
pull it by the cord. You’ll damage
the wiring.
• Never let the cord dangle over
the edge of the counter. Don’t
make it easy to knock the ap
pliance to the floor.
• Never immerse the motor in
water or other liquid. This creates
electrical shock hazards. Instead,
wipe machine bases clean with a
damp cloth.
• Don’t use damaged machines.
The instructions will tell you to
return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for
examination, adjustment or
repair.

Sunlight, Heat and Moisture
Are Fabric Enemies
What happened to your cotton
curtains? If yours are no longer
crips and bright, moisture and
sunlight may be the culprits.
Fabrics for home furnishings may
deteriorate from exposure as well
as from normal dirt and wear.
Before you buy curtains,
upholstered furniture, or other
fabrics for your home, think about
the types of exposure they will
have to resist.
The ideal fabric should resist
heat, moisture, sunlight, and air
pollution, but, alas, such a fabric is
practically impossible to find.
However, you can look for fabrics
that resist the use problems most
prevalent in your home. Here’s a
check list of common home fur
nishing fabrics and their
characteristics.
• Acrylics resist sunlight and do
not discolor. They resist solar heat
and have a low moisture ab
sorbency.
• Cotton loses strength, even
tually rots and gradually yellows
from sunlight. It is resistant to
deterioration from solar heat and,
depending on its finish, has a
medium to high mositure ab
sorbency rate.

• Glass fiber is not damaged by
sunlight, solar heat, or moisture.
• Linen gradually loses strength
from sunlight, discolors at high
temperatures from solar heat and
has a high moisture absorbency.
• Modacrylic does not lose its
strength in sunlight and absorbs
little moisture but is heat sensitive
and can soften at solar heat
temperatures above 150°.
• Nylon gradually loses strength
from sunlight but deteriorates
little from solar heat. It does not
absorb moisture.
• Olefin has a moderate loss of
strength from sunlight but
becomes brittle and gradually
decomposes in solar heat. It does
not absorb moisture.
• Polyester loses very httle
strength from sunlight,
deteriorates very little from solar
heat and has low moisture ab
sorbency.
• Silk loses strength when ex
posed to sunlight and yellows when
exposed to heat. It absorbs a
moderate amount of moisture.
• Wool loses strength in sunlight,
loses softness with prolonged
exposure to solar heat and has a
high moisture absorbency rate.
• Acetates and rayons are not
suitable where sun damage is
possible.
