Leaving electrical appliances on for hours

As I rose this morning at 5.50am, venturing into the kitchen, I hear a noise and look towards the stove.
I notice the electric hotplate is on.
I used it 14 hours ago and left it on mark 4.
Slight rise in the power bill next time.
I was surprised by my last power bill and how small it was considering I have used the heater for many hours over winter.

@Vivaci Oh dear. Lucky. Some cleaning now required. Got a ladder?

Vivaci

@Gusman You mean I should clean up the exhaust and everything? 😱

Gusman · 61-69, M

@Vivaci No 😄 I was wondering about smoke damage 🤔 🙂

Vivaci

@Gusman How can I clean my lungs? 😩

@Vivaci Abstinence will eventually clear your lungs. The sooner you start, the sooner they will clear. 🙂

@Gusman I don’t smoke though!
