If you’re using this as a safety-content headline, I’d avoid saying “must unplug at all costs” because no single appliance is universally required to be unplugged every night. A safer, more accurate version is:
Before Going to Sleep, Check This Kitchen Appliance to Reduce Fire Risk
Before heading to bed, it’s worth taking a quick look around the kitchen and making sure appliances that generate heat are switched off and safely disconnected when appropriate.
Toasters, toaster ovens, air fryers, and other heating appliances can become fire hazards if they malfunction, are damaged, left running, or are placed too close to combustible materials.
Never leave a cooking or heating appliance operating unattended. Keep appliances away from curtains, paper towels, cabinets, and other flammable materials, and regularly check power cords and plugs for signs of damage.
For appliances that don’t need to remain powered overnight, unplugging them after use can provide an additional precaution against electrical faults. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, especially for appliances with specific standby or cooling requirements.
A few seconds of checking the kitchen before bed can help reduce the risk of an electrical or cooking-related fire.
