Interviewer instructions
Box No.12.- Appliances in the Dwelling

Ask if in the Dwelling there are: radio, electric iron, electric stove, electric toothbrush, washer, water heater, television set and refrigerator. It does not matter that the radio, washer or television set are of batteries, or the refrigerator of kerosene, what is of interest is knowing if the family has these appliances or not.

The water heater can be any type: from the simple appliance placed in the bath to heat the water to the complete heating system of water from all the pipes that there are in the Dwelling.

If any of these appliances are in any way borrowed they should not be included.

[p. 31]

Always remember to mark one of the two boxes ("It Has" or "It Does Not Have") in the line corresponding to each appliance.

The code space should be left blank, because it is for office use.
