• Stand back when opening an oven door to allow any

build up of steam or heat to disperse.

cannot become heated by other hotplate/pans.

• Take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating

the controls.

before switching on the oven.

fat from cooking can cause a fire.

engineer.

the hob.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE

In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE

WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR

DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and

extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60

MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often

caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside

with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT

A PAN FIRE as the force

of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.

Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
