The switch case is affixed to the appliance base, the switch is in one of the power lines, and the switch has an open position and a closed position. The fastener is arranged to fasten the cover to the appliance base so that the fastener holds the switch in its closed position when the cover is fastened by the fastener to the appliance base and allows the switch to move to its open position when the cover is not fastened by the fastener to the appliance base.
