An appliance should not exceed what percentage of the rated input?

The correct answer is: 90%

The correct percentage indicates the maximum rated input an appliance should reach to ensure efficient and safe operation. When it is stated that an appliance should not exceed 90% of its rated input, this threshold is set to avoid operational strain and potential hazards. Operating at or below this percentage helps to maintain optimal performance, prolong the lifespan of the appliance, and ensure safety standards are met. Appliances that operate consistently near or at their maximum rated input can become overloaded, which increases the risk of malfunctions, overheating, and safety issues like gas leaks. Adhering to the guideline of maintaining input at or below 90% helps prevent these risks and promotes energy efficiency. Other percentage values, such as 80%, 75%, and 25%, may not be appropriate limits for all appliances, as they do not align with standard practices or recommendations for ensuring safety and reliability in gas appliance operation.
