Do you toast buns every morning? This means that you consume between 500 and 1000 W per year! Yes, that’s a lot for such a small device. All this to tell you that you should avoid plugging it into a power strip.
8. Other extension cable
Do you have a lot of electrical devices to plug in? Then use several extension cords connected together. Very, very bad idea! In this way the maximum authorized power of the power strip can be exceeded very quickly.
