Isle of Man Fire & Rescue Service is supporting Register My Appliance Week and urges all households to take the simplest act of care.
Many appliances in use on the island are unlikely to be registered with the manufacturers, rendering them extremely hard to trace if a safety repair is ever needed.
Registering home appliances is to ensure their brands know where to find them.
Whether machines are newly-purchased or long-installed, registration is vital to help ensure the longest possible safe lifespan.

While recalls on home appliances are rare, issues with the equipment can develop over time and a simple, free in-home adjustment by a qualified engineer can ensure a longer and safer life for machines.
But, unlike our cars, a vast number of these valuable possessions are still untraceable because they are unregistered.
AMDEA’s Register My Appliance portal provides a quick and easy remedy offering online access to more than 70 leading brands, with most accepting registration of both new and older appliances.
Leading firefighter Richard Little said: “Given we are all concerned that our possessions need to last longer, work safely and efficiently, it makes sense to use this free service to help prevent fires occurring from known faults.”
