Safety First! Help Prevent House Fires and Electrical Shock
If any of the following problems occur, get the help of a professional electrician:
♦ A circuit breaker keeps tripping.
♦ Lights dim whenever an appliance is turned on.
♦ An outlet sparks when a plug is inserted or removed.
Minimize the risk of fires by taking these steps:
♦ Avoid overloading extension cords and power strips.
♦ Make sure lights, especially halogen filaments, don’t come in contact with flammable materials.
♦ Select the proper bulb for each fixture. Using a higher wattage bulb than recommended can cause overheating.

♦ Test your smoke alarms regularly. Replace the batteries twice a year.
♦ Only purchase appliances and lights that are certified by a nationally recognized testing lab such as UL.
♦Never force three-pronged plugs into two-pronged receptacles, or running appliance or extension cords under a rug or through a high-traffic area.
