Keep electrical supplies away from water. If an appliance is plugged in and water reaches it, an electrical shock will occur, which can be harmful, or even deadly.

If a plugged in appliance falls into water, then unplug the appliance before removing it from the water. If possible, then drain the water before removing the appliance.

When handling electrical objects, be sure that your hands are completely dry. This is to make sure that no electrical current can run from the appliance to you.
