In which type of spaces should appliances not be located?

Appliances should not be located in bathrooms and surgical rooms due to safety and sanitary concerns. Bathrooms are typically humid environments, which can pose risks to electrical appliances, such as short circuits or electrical shocks. Additionally, the accumulation of moisture can lead to mold growth and deteriorate the appliances.

In surgical rooms, cleanliness and sterility are paramount. The presence of non-medical appliances can introduce contaminants into an environment that requires strict hygiene to protect patients and enable effective medical procedures. The layout of surgical rooms is specifically designed to minimize risks, and introducing appliances could compromise these standards.

In contrast, locations such as living rooms, garages, laundry rooms, dining rooms, and offices are more acceptable for appliances, provided proper safety measures are in place, as these environments are less prone to moisture issues and do not have the same stringent cleanliness requirements.
