Protecting Your Outdoor Investments
With more people spending time entertaining outdoors, we're seeing patios that feature top-of-the-line grills alongside high-end refrigerators, and in some cases, sinks. As it becomes more popular to build outdoor kitchens, it's important to consider the factors that are often overlooked.
No matter where you live, your outdoor area is exposed to the elements. For some, hot sun beats down all year and for others, snow figures prominently. In each case, when choosing and installing appliances, it makes sense to take into account the fact that they're for outdoor use, and plan accordingly.
First of all, select appliances that will work well outside. Choose pieces with stainless steel exteriors. These are easiest to clean and maintain, and they'll stand up to the elements better than most other materials. Also, unless they are to be built-in, be sure that they have heavy-duty casters on the bottom, so you can easily move them around your area.
Pay special attention to the electrical components. Choose a unit with a commercial-grade, jacketed power cord. Indoor power cords are not rated for outdoor use, and can cause damage to the unit or your electrical system. Select appliances with waterproof or water-resistant thermostats, insulated electrical terminals and sealed electrical contacts. Keeping moisture out of the wiring will help prevent dangerous shorts or other malfunctions in the system.
Be sure your appliance is UL listed and approved. On your appliance, you'll find a sticker or a laminated tag featuring the familiar logo of the Underwriters Laboratory if it has been approved for use. UL tests products for safety all over the globe, so if your appliance has this tag or sticker affixed to it, you can be assured that your product was safe when the test was completed. It's up to you to use it correctly to maintain its standard of safety.
Don't forget the covers. Make sure to buy heavy tarps or covers for your pieces to protect them when they're not in use, or during inclement weather. Some covers are custom-fitted to furniture or appliances, but a large tarp can work just as well. Caring for your investment in this way will help ensure that you'll have it for many years to come.
