Safety Tips
CHECK INTERIOR PLUMBING
Interior plumbing failure can lead to serious water damage. Original units had plastic connectors for the wall-to-toilet water hose. These plastic connectors have been known to fail.
INSTALL KITCHEN RANGE ANTI-TIP BRACKET
A kitchen range anti-tip bracket is a single or two-piece device, supplied by the range manufacturer, which must be installed at the base, behind the range. It helps to prevent the range from tipping over or tilting while pressure is applied to the open oven door. All ranges should be equipped with this device in order to prevent serious injuries or death.
CHANGE BATTERIES IN SMOKE ALARMS TWICE A YEAR
At least twice/year install new batteries in battery only-operated smoke detectors and test them per manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper operation. Replace any battery-operated smoke detector that is older than 10 years to ensure reliable performance.
PURCHASE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FOR YOUR HOME TO HELP KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE FROM FIRE
Fire extinguishers can be used to provide immediate protection against small fires if they are available and accessible when needed. To help provide this protection, class 2A-10BC fire extinguishers should be on hand and placed where they are clearly visible in case of emergency. Fire extinguishers should also be inspected monthly to help maintain reliability.
