Fire safety advice Deep-fat frying presents more
dangers in your kitchen
Safety
•Most kitchen fires occur
when people are distracted or
leave things unattended, so
remember:
•If you’re called away from
the hob - by the phone or
someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or
switch off your hob.
•Don’t let yourself be
distracted while cooking. DO
NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED.
•If you do have a fire in the
kitchen, don’t take any risks -
get everyone out of your home
and call the Fire Service.
•If you have put the fire out,
leave the pan to cool com-
pletely.
•Never fill a chip pan (or
other deep fat fryer) more
than one-third full of oil.
•Do not use a fire extin-
guisher on a pan of burning oil
- the force of the extinguisher
can spread the fire and create
a fireball.
•Switch off the power at the
fuse box - this may be enough
to stop the fire immediately
•Smother the fire with a fire
blanket, or use a dry powder
or carbon dioxide extinguisher
•Remember: never use
water on an electrical or cook-
ing oil fire.
•Do not move it as it’s likely
to be extremely hot.
•Turn off the heat if it’s
safe to do so, but never lean
over a pan to reach the con-
trols.
• WARNING: Use fire
blanket or a damp tea-towel to
cover the pan.

04 - Cleaning & maintenance
How to clean your hob
•Switch plates off and let cool. If necessary,
treat plates with a cleaning agent (cleaner/
conditioner available in selected stores).
•Dry by switching on for a few minutes.
•The hob can be cleaned using a clean damp
cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use a dish
cloth or sponge as these can leave a film of
detergent on the surface which can lead to
discolouration.
•Apply a thin coat of cooking oil from time to
time to provide a protective coating.
•Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure
cleaning equipment.
•Wipe any spillage as soon as possible after the
hob has cooled.
•Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this
will prevent any build up of grease which may
be a fire hazard.

cleaner spray or pan scourers.
