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.
! The appliance should not be operated by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone
who is not familiar with the product. These individuals
should, at the very least, be supervised by someone
who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive
preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the
appliance.
