Is it safe to turn on the trap all the time at kitchen?

I think that would be Ok...... I have it on all the time and haven't had any trouble.... it's doesn't get hot.... the only thing I would have it high up just in case you have inquisitive children or pets getting too close!!

It would be safe as long as it is not within reach of water or better on a GFI circuit. GFI circuits are required in kitchens or bathrooms near water access. Older houses may not have the correct GFI wiring though.

Yes. There's a "power on" setting unrelated to the timer, so you can keep it on continuously.

Overall, it's great. I would recommend that you have have your electrician put it on a wall switch/timer and just leave the switch that's on the rack In the ON position all the time. This way you won't ever worry about remembering to turn it off.

I suppose if you have an electrical source coming from behind the cabinet to feed the unit. But if you leave it on all the time like I do, I would take a chance of the heat drying out and cracking the wood. Or worse being a fire risk.

Since I use mine constantly day and night, I seldom turn it off. The only way I know of is to turn off the electric, but as soon as one batch of food comes out during the growing season, another goes in. The heat is not wasted that way. I check often to see if some foods have dehydrated enough, take them out, and replace them with others that are waiting their turn. When harvest season is over, it will be unplugged, and stored until harvest begins again in the spring.

Asked my husband who has a doctorate in electrical engineering. Nothing to worry about as long as there is no gas leak. If there was a gas leak a nearby light switch would be just as dangerous. Be sure to put enough bait to keep the rodents engaged. A little almond butter was useless. Had to add more bait (horse treat works for me, but there are a lot of suggestions out there) Hope this helps!

Yes, you need to keep your finger on the switch. It's really for small cleanup jobs.

Yes, that is the way we have ours. we can turn it by the switch inside if we want. it is left though in the automaticposition so it only comes on from detected motion.

I don't ever turn mine off. I run it on the Eco setting and it comes on as needed. Sometimes that's quite a long time, sometimes shorter. It probably depends on what you have in your house. I have a cat and a dog and it comes on a lot when I'm cleaning and stirring the air up in the bedroom. But otherwise, not so much, probably because we're not in the bedroom that much.

I have done it especially when I'm cooking, but I would recommend turning it off if not using it... It is very handy when cooking and the sprayer is very powerful

Absolutely! But like the others said, don't leave it on too high while out and about. I often leave it on for 24-48hrs on low if I am making bone broth or really deep flavoured sauces. Never had an issue at all!

I've never just left it on after using it to find out. I don't leave any appliance turned on once I'm finished using it just as a precaution against getting it "fried" during a storm.

We do leave it on all the time. I only turn it off to fill it. The only downside to leaving it on is making sure you don't get too close to the sensing device when you're near it. I solved that by just pushing it back away from the sink enough that I don't set it off. But you have to get really close to set it off anyway,....

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

you can turn the backlight off or it or have it on all the time. if off, it will come on with alerts

It is real sensitive to a line the three metal rods and balance the food tray. Do so where you want the trap to sit. It is so sensitive, you can not set it and carry it to where you want to put it. I have two of them and they both have caught mice.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.
