Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fi re. However, do not reach through fi re
to turn it off.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
When gas burners are in operation without any cookware
placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may
become damaged or catch fi re. Only operate the gas
burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas burners, a great
deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located above
it can become damaged or catch fi re. Never use two
gas burners together at maximum heat for longer than
15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/hr
(5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas burners.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fi re fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fi re with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate fl ames carefully with a
lid, a fi re blanket or similar.
