• Avoid wet plugs and electrical connections behind the appliance.
• Remove small dry items from accessible shelves without disturbing swollen panels.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from the wet area and tell the crew about any spills.
• Photograph cabinet swelling and visible water from a safe position.
