In Case of Fire
Contact the local fire department!
Disconnect power to unit!
This will cut off power to the heating elements and allow the oil to
cool, reducing the flash point temperature and making it easier to
stop the fire.
Immediately cover the well with the well cover and/or
heavy non-flammable blanket or canvas.
This will cut off oxygen to the fire.
DO NOT attempt to fight a grease fire by spraying the
fire extinguisher directly on the burning shortening.
The force will cause the burning shortening to be sprayed
on adjoining equipment making it difficult to contain the fire.
Only use a fire extinguisher filled with CO
liquids and oils and suitable for electric powered equipment.
DO NOT use water or water based extinguisher on a grease fire.

Spray the fire extinguisher over the well cover or
non-flammable blanket.
This will seal off additional oxygen thus smothering the fire.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT remove the blanket or cover until the fire
department arrives. The oil may re-ignite.
This is high voltage equipment - be sure main
disconnect is "OFF" before proceeding.
