In the manual to my just-bought floor fan, it says this (among many other weird requirements/expectations):
Pull out the plug from the power point when the product is not in use. Do not pull the power cord to pull out the plug.
Why do they tell me this? If I don't use the fan, I turn it off with the knob on the fan. I don't pull out the actual stick/cord from the wall. That's insanity.
Possibly, I would do it if I'm going away for weeks/months/years, just because it "feels" like a reasonable thing to do (without really understanding why), but over night or just when I'm not in the kitchen (where it's located)? Why would one do that? That would cause an insane amount of wear and tear on the cable/connector, and be a massive PITA for me.
They don't explain with one word why this would be necessary/good, so that's what I'm asking.
