Kitchen appliances, including garbage disposals, dishwashers, and ranges, must be securely installed to prevent injuries, particularly for children and elderly individuals. Tip guards for stoves and stable positioning of dishwashers help prevent accidents.
Optimal
Appliances are securely installed, functioning properly, and include necessary safety features such as tip guards.
Cautionary
Minor issues, such as a loose dishwasher or a malfunctioning garbage disposal, should be addressed before they worsen.
Hazardous / Out of Range
Missing child safety guards on stoves, unstable dishwashers, or non-functional appliances pose an immediate risk of injury.
