Bung: The statistic tha 40% of fires investigated were started by placing the airfryer on the stove top and turning a stove element on is Gold.
Turning on the wrong stove element is a common mistake. Perhaps more so with older appliances where the position indicators have rubbed off.
To state the obvious, an induction cooktop provides some protection against the non-pot thing on the element scenario. Other than that many Induction cooktops likewise have UI issues of their own.
There may be several relatively logical reasons why people make the mistake. It's under the rangehood exhaust, back of the stovetop is out of reach for small kids, it's known to be a 'safe' place.
