Using extension cords can be risky if not done correctly, as not all electrical devices are safe to connect. High-energy appliances like heaters and kettles can exceed the extension cord's capacity, leading to overheating or fires. It's crucial to check the maximum load indicated on the extension cord and avoid plugging in multiple high-power devices simultaneously. Extension cords with reels require special attention, as coiled cables can overheat. Signs of electrical issues include hot plugs, burnt plastic smells, and visible damage. Always follow manufacturer instructions and connect high-power devices directly to wall outlets.
