IN CASE OF FIRE
1. De-energize griddle at disconnect switch. This will cut off power to the heating elements allowing
griddle to cool. This reduces the flash point temperature making it easier to stop the fire.
2. Cover the affected area with a heavy blanket or canvas. Play the fire extinguisher nozzle over the
blanket or cover to seal off air thus smothering the fire.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to fight a grease fire by playing the nozzle of the fire extinguisher directly on the
burning grease. The force will cause the burning grease to be sprayed to adjoining equipment
making it difficult to contain the fire. Only use a fire extinguisher filled with CO2which is for liquids
and oils and suitable for electric powered equipment.
