- Leugh a h-uile stiùireadh mus cleachd thu an inneal.
- Na cuir suathadh air uachdar teth. Cleachd làmhan no snaidhmeannan.
- Gus dìon an aghaidh clisgeadh dealain, na bogadh corda, plugaichean no inneal ann an uisge no lionn eile.
- Tha feum air sùil gheur nuair a bhios clann a’ cleachdadh inneal sam bith no faisg air làimh.
- Unplug bhon ionad nuair nach eilear ga chleachdadh agus mus glanadh thu. Leig le fuarachadh mus cuir thu air no a 'toirt dheth pàirtean.
- Na obraich inneal sam bith le sreang no pluga millte no às deidh don inneal a dhol ceàrr no a bhith air a mhilleadh ann an dòigh sam bith.
- Faodaidh cleachdadh ceanglachan accessory nach eil air a mholadh le neach-dèanamh an inneil dochann adhbhrachadh.
- Na cleachd a-muigh.
- Na leig leis an t-sreang crochadh thairis air oir a’ bhùird no a’ chunntair, no suathadh air uachdar teth.
- Na cuir air no faisg air inneal losgaidh gas no dealain teth, no ann an àmhainn teas.
- Feumar a bhith air leth faiceallach nuair a ghluaiseas tu inneal anns a bheil ola teth no lioftaichean teth eile.
- Cuir am pluga ris an inneal an-còmhnaidh an toiseach, agus an uairsin cuir am pluga a-steach don t-socaid balla. Gus a dhì-cheangal, tionndaidh smachd sam bith gu "dheth", agus an uairsin thoir am pluga a-mach às an t-socaid balla.
- Na cleachd inneal airson cleachdadh eile a tha san amharc.
