Abstract

An electrical domestic appliance includes a fire-prevention medium for fighting a fire in the domestic appliance in an early stage. The fire-prevention medium includes an active substance, which releases water, carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen under the effect of heat at a temperature below 100° C. The fire-prevention medium has a core, which contains the active substance and a carrier material, and a shell, which surrounds the core.
