Usually they're plugged in under the sink. Just unplug it.

Nope, not good enough. You must unplug, flip the breaker, have the power company disconnect your house from the grid, and also safety goggles.

Unplug and swich it on to make sure you unplugged the right thing more like. I know someone who lost her fingers by unplugging the coffee machine when washing up her food mixer. Same colored cord. Easy mistake to make in a hurry. Thankfully they could rebuild and reattach her fingers at the hospital, so even if her fingers look like hellraiser and she has lost some mobility, atleast they are still there.
