INTRODUCTION
There exist a variety of causes for cooking fires, but
most causes involve unattended cooking. Here are
some tips to help prevent a cooking fire in your
kitchen.
FIRE PREVENTION TIPS:
•
Never leave the kitchen when cooking food.
•
Use fresh cooking oil whenever possible. The
ignition temperature of used cooking oil can be
lower than normal and it may contain left-over
solids which can ignite.
•
Smoke generated from cooking oil is an indication
that the temperature of the oil has exceeded the
desired cooking temperature of 350-375 F. As the
oil temperature increases, the smoke produced
will increase significantly. If this occurs, simply
turn the burner down or turn it off to prevent the oil
from reaching its ignition temperature.
•
Be sure to keep the cooking surface and
surrounding counter areas clean and clear of
combustible materials which could ignite.
•
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 FIRE:
NEVER
attempt to move a burning cooking vessel
after it has ignited. Any movement could splash
burning grease and spread the fire or cause severe
injury.
NEVER TRY TO EXTINGUISH A GREASE
FIRE USING WATER
. Evacuate the kitchen and call
the Fire Department immediately, then alert others
and evacuate the building. Let your Guardian G600-B
extinguish any range top fire. Because of the heat and
smoke associated with a cooking fire, it is
recommended that you wait at least 30 minutes after
the fire has been extinguished before re-entering the
building and approaching your kitchen range.
OPERATION:
The Guardian G600-B system is an automatic fire
suppression system designed to detect and extinguish
cooking fires on residential type range tops. In the
event of a stovetop fire, the sensors will activate at a
pre-set temperature and signal the main CPU board.
The main CPU automatically sends a signal to release
the extinguisher valve assembly, releasing the
extinguishing agent and simultaneously activates the
CPU-mounted alarm, and the fuel shutoff which
disconnects the gas and/or electricity to the range.
