The breaker or fuse box
controls your electrical cir
cuits but can present a dan
ger if you do not use cau
tion around it. If you have a
power outage, check the
control panel. If your panel
uses circuit breakers, reset
them from “o f f to “on.” If
you have fuses, look for a
broken metal strip in the top
of the blown fuse and re
place it with one of the cor
rect amperage. Using one
that is too powerful can
cause a fire hazard. If a fuse
or circuit breaker frequent
ly blows, try unplugging a
few items. If it continues to
blow, call an electrician.
Never work on the electri
cal system while a control
panel switch is on.
