SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE
In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

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.

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.
