Operating Guidelines
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A GREASE FIRE ON THE
RANGE TOP :
• NEVER leave the stove elements/
burners unattended at high heat set-
tings;
• Always run the range hood when you
are cooking on high heat;
• Clean the ventilating fans as directed
(see page 10). Do not allow grease to
accumulate on the fan, residue cups or
housing; and
• Use the correct size pan and utensils
that are appropriate to the size of the
surface element.

IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE ON THE
RANGE TOP:
• Smother the flames with a close-fit-
ting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray.
BE CAREFUL TO AVOID BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediate-
ly, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT;
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN;
• DO NOT USE WATER! This includes
wet dishcloths or towels. A violent
steam explosion can result; and
• Use a Fire Extinguisher ONLY if:
- it is a class ABC unit;
- you know how to operate it;
- the fire is small and contained; and
- you can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
