- Circuit breakers and fuses should be the correct size current rating for their circuit. If you do not know the correct size, have an electrician identify and label the size to be used.
- Always replace a fuse with the same size fuse.
- If a fuse "blows", unplug the appliance causing the problem. Shut off the main power switch on the fuse box. Replace the burned fuse with a new one of the power rating, then turn on the main power switch.
- Always keep a flashlight handy. Stand on a dry surface when touching a fuse or breaker box.
- Never use a penny or aluminum foil to replace a fuse.
