| INTRODUCTION
There exist a variety of reasons for cooking grease fires, but most reasons involve unattended cooking accidents. Here are some tips to help prevent a cooking grease fire in your kitchen.
FIRE PREVENTION TIPS:
- Never leave the kitchen when frying food.
-
Use fresh cooking oil whenever possible.
-
Dense smoke from the frying pan indicates cooking oil is near auto ignition - turn the burner down or off.
-
Keep cooking areas clean and clear of combustibles. If you must leave the kitchen when frying food, turn the burner off or remove the pan from the burner until you return.
IN CASE OF A GREASE FIRE:
Never attempt to move a burning pan of cooking grease from the kitchen range. DO NOT TRY TO EXTINGUISH A GREASE FIRE WITH WATER. Call the fire department immediately. Alert other occupants and evacuate. Let your Guardian III extinguish any range top fire. Wait at least 30 minutes after a cooking fire has been extinguished before approaching your kitchen range.
