HOWTO AVOID A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE

Your range hood provides a protective barrier between
the cooking surface and the cabinets.

Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces. CLEAN according

to instructions.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat to keep the

cooking area clean and the hood cooler.

Use high heat settings only when necessary.
Never leave cooking surface unattended. Boil-over causes

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Always use adequate-sized utensils.

If preparing flaming foods, such as Cherries Jubilee, always

turn hood ON to high to prevent a high heat situation which
can cause damage or fire.

HOWTO EXTINGUISH A COMMON RANGE-TOP FIRE

Never pick up a flaming pan. If dropped, flames can spread

quickly.

DO NOT USE WATER! Aviolent stream explosion may result.

Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous.
Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal

tray.

Flaming grease can also be extinguished with baking soda

or a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher.
Turn off surface units - If you can do so without getting burned.
