How to get a fixed appliance out of your mouth?
I have a so called appliance in my lower mouth. It has two rings that are glued to my back molars, with a wire that wraps around the inside of my lower teeth. The wire is connected to the rings. The wire snapped and is now stabbing the back of my tongue and i don't no how to get it out.|||go to the orthodontist to cut out the wire ASAP
How does X10 Appliance Module let the controlled object control the switch?
I have my TV plugged into an X10 Appliance Module which I can control from a remote control to turn the TV off. That works for turning the TV off and on. However, you can also Turn the TV set off and when you turn it back on, the X10 Appliance Module re-switches to ON.
I wouldn't think that the TV that is plugged into the module could switch the module. How is that happening?|||The module attempts to send a trickle of current through the plugged-in appliance even when "off". It notices the sequence (1) no current (2) current flow and applies full power when that happens.

I have been wanting a crock pot for a long time but am terrified of leaving an appliance on all day?
I would love to be able to come home from work and my dinner already cooked. Leaving food cooking unattended frightens me, and leaving an appliance on for long periods of time while i am not home also frightens me. Should i be worried or should i just go ahead and get one?|||its the best thing in the world. i felt exactly the same thing.. what i did was one day while i was home i left it on just to see if it would do anything and it didnt.|||i have had one for years and i have not had any trouble
it is pretty safe to have
and as long as its on low
your food will not burn|||Crock pots are actually quite safe. I've never heard of a case where they caused a house fire or something. Naturally you don't want to take chances and leave something flammable around an appliance that gets hot or leave it plugged in when you aren't using it, but most of the heat is on the inside parts of the pot.
It is smart of you to be concerned about leaving cooking food unattended, but you should be fine as long as you don't leave the pot on "high" when the recipe calls for the "low" setting.|||I was terrified at first too. I have one and it is great. I do leave it on all day long, on LOW, to come home to lots of great things. But, I understand your fear. I still have the creeping fear that the plug will catch fire and my condo will burn down while I'm at work.
This has OBVIOUSLY never happened. Crockpots are actually quite safe! I've done it 100s of times and my fears have never come true.
Maybe start out slow. Make something and come back 3 hours later.
Then make something and come back 6 hours later.
Then, work your way up to how long you are gone all day.
Meats work well if you have enough liquid and its on LOW, for 8 hours.|||I LOVE mine!!! I am weird about leaving appliances on, but I do use my crock pot. Just make sure you set it on a heatproof surface, because I have heard it can crack Corian... (use a large trivet if you need to), keep it away from other items such as plastic, paper, etc., and keep it out from the wall and away from under cabinets.
The first time you use it, use it on a day when you are off work and plan to stay home. You will be able to reassure yourself that it really is safe and a WONDERFUL kitchen asset.
I use mine 2-3 times per week, and leave it on for 9-10 hours. I have a traditional one from approximately 1990 as well as a digital one. I do prefer the digital one, but I use them both all the time.|||People do it all the time. Crock pots are
designed especially for that. And are very
low voltage, so no excess heat to worry
about. Just what's supposed to be there.
But why don't get one and try it out on a
weekend while you're home anyway. Just
to get over the fear factor. They really worth
the investment. So get a good one.|||Get a crock pot. They are very safe. The appliances that you need to worry about are coffee pots mainly. Anything with a cord compromised or where outlets are overloaded are potential fire hazards. I never leave my small appliances plugged in when not in use.|||you should deinatly get one! my family eats a crock pot meal at least once or twice a week, theyre great for days when you have a lot of things to do, and not a lot of time to make dinner|||Best thing in the world is a slow cooker / crock pot Get one that bears the good house keeping seal of approval.

Many people leave crock pots, coffee makers and rice cookers (similar products) all day without any problems.
With a crock pot, you don't boil off the liquid that fast so there's nothing to burn... In theory, the crock pot can't go any higher than 212F.
Also, the power consumption used by a crock pot can range from anywhere from 100 Watts to 300 Watts. One to three light bulbs... Think e-z bake oven... lol.
Don't worry and go get one.
Your neighbor has probably been happily using a crock pot while you've been too afraid to. :)

What is considered an "appliance" in a rental house?
I had to call a repairman into repair the burglar alarm, since the landlord did not respond to my letter requesting the needed repair. The landlord refuses to pay the charges, as the alarm is not considered an "appliance". The alarm has been a part of the house since we began renting(was pre-installed) and I maintained that it was a part of the whole house from the start, and is considered a part of the whole rental package. What does the Landlord-Tenant Act state about items as an alarm and how it relates to the Landlords responsibility to maintain?|||The alarm is considered an amenity (as is a dishwasher and air conditioning).. not a necessity like a stove %26amp; refrigerator. Unless it specifically states in the lease that the landlord is required to maintain the alarm system throughout occupancy then you're responsible for the cost of fixing the alarm (and the landlord gets it fixed for free).
Ps. A microwave is also an amenity in this case.|||Microwave, fridge, stove... |||It's considered an amenity, and not a requirement of habitability. Therefore you get stuck paying for the repair bill. You might have gotten away with what you did had the repair been for the range or the refrigerator, but NOT for a security alarm.|||A burglar alarm is non-essential. Perhaps one of the previous tenants had installed it and he just left it up. Unless it states otherwise in the lease, I don't think he has any obligation to replace it.|||An alarm is not an appliance..

How long will it take for a twin block appliance to work?
ive had this removable brace thing called twin block appliance for a few weeks, the ortho told me it can take up to a year for it to work, but someone else that i know had it in for only two months.. how long will it normally take for it to work?|||Doesn't really matter, someone from Al Qaeda Airlines will probably crash into it and bring the whole lot down.....|||I'm not sure.
Just asking, how can you wear these. I had them and wore them for like a month, but the pain was getting too sore.
I think they would take about a month though. Not sure|||No onger than six months~~

Is it normal for a plug on an appliance to become very warm while in use?
If not, is it more likely a problem with the appliance or the outlet?|||Never use an extension cord with an appliance that uses a lot of power as you risk using a cord that is not rated properly and it will heat up. If you must use an extension cord, but one that greatly exceeds the max power requirements of the device. These extension cords are VERY expensive, but worth it. Sometimes they are sold as "air conditioner" extension cords, and are 6' long, so you can just buy what you need. Its very important to have the shortest cord possible as regardless of the wires gauge, the longer the cord, the less power it can take.
When you buy an appliance, be careful that they did not make it too cheap by using a cord that is too short and not rated high enough. Look for the UL Mark on the cord.|||If it's got one of the little boxes, yes. If it's just a regular old plug, no. That's a little scary.|||no, warm wires are a sign of potential trouble. plug other appliances in the same recepticle/plug and see if they get hot. if they do have some check the amount of voltage and/or amperage to determine if the device is over the 15/20 voltage it is intended to carry.|||Some do become very warm %26amp; it will depend on the appliance being used. We have some portable electric heaters were the plug %26amp; cord will become very warm when it's on the maximum setting of 1500 watts and on for long periods of time. I have seen the plugs on those same heaters overheat and short circuit too after months of use because the plug was not strong enough to carry the load well. If I was you I'd keep a very close eye on it while using the appliance and not use it at all at night while asleep. When I see that sort of thing I always replace the plug with a better %26amp; stronger one.
Submit the same question again with the description of the appliance %26amp; we'll be able to give you a better answer. Or email one of us directly.|||no warm is not good. you might be over loading the circuit. to many things on the circuit breaker.

What appliance consumes the most power?
The table below shows a list of some electric appliances with the values of their potential differences and current. What appliance consumes the most power?
Appliance------Potential Difference(V)------Current(A)
A. Television 24 0.75
B. Drill 110 1.6
C. Bulb 12 4.0
D. Amplifier 110 0.2
Now, I know this is probably super easy, but my book is insanely vague. So, forgive.|||Power = volts * amps
Just multiply the V * A in each case and whichever one is highest consumes the most. It is that easy.
I'm sure you can do the math so I won't.
.|||From your list, the drill consumes the most power because the product of the voltage times the current is the highest.
However, keep in mind that the amount of power consumed is NOT the amount of energy consumed. To get the amount of energy, you must multiply the power by the time it was consuming that amount of power.|||it depends on the type and size of equipment so if you want to compare apples to apples do this divide watts as listed on equipment by voltage applied // mostly 120 volts and you get amperes of energy use // this comparision does work// as a rule the more amperes used the more energy consumed|||B...the drill...(176W).
