This
picture shows my coffee maker. It works pretty
well except for one problem. The on/off switch,
in front of the
coffee maker, about 1/2 inch above the bottom, can be
easily activated by accidently pushing a sponge or
dinner plate
against it. I noticed this problem when the cleaning
lady accidently
turned it on, twice, while cleaning the kitchen.
Good thing
it didn't burn the house down.
Design suggestion
When
you decide where to
place a control,
you need to consider the environment
that it is used in.
