4. On Top of the Stove (Even When Turned Off)
Some people store appliances on top of their stove because it seems convenient but this is one of the most common causes of kitchen accidents.
If someone accidentally turns on a burner, the heat can melt the bottom of the air fryer, lead to electrical wiring damage, or cause a kitchen fire within seconds.
Even if the burner is not turned on, residual heat or grease buildup from the stove can also be a problem.
Smart alternative:
Designate a small appliance station on a separate counter or cart.
