mbarazeen Member Mar 1, 2010 #5 no problem you can do so, for television put it to standby then remove the supply.
A alphacat New Member Mar 1, 2010 #6 Thanks guys. Are there devices that its not recommended to unplug them from the mains when in standby? like devices with timers or PCs?

A alphacat New Member Mar 1, 2010 #8 Got it, thanks! I thought I heard some electrician say that devices that comprise a timer, such as microwaves, should not be unplugged from the mains.
