~
Never leave a cooktop unattended
at high settings or when cooking with oil
or fat. Overheated oil could ignite.
Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it
heats.
~
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or
flame.

When frying food make sure that the
food is as dry as possible before
placing it in oil. Moisture can cause hot
oil to splatter and boil over. At high
settings, be cautious of splattering
grease or boiling over liquids which
may produce smoke.

Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction and the grease
filters may ignite.

Do not heat unopened containers.
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
