Toasters, coffeemakers, and microwaves should be plugged directly into a wall outlet—no exceptions 🔌
If you need additional outlets:
• use a CSA/ULC-approved power bar for electronics and lighting only
• make sure extension cords are the correct gauge for the device
• never overload outlets or daisy-chain cords or power bars.
⚡️ Plug in the safe way!
