Stay attentive to active cooking
Unattended cooking increases the chance that a small problem grows unnoticed.
Keep the area orderly
Loose packaging, towels and clutter should not crowd hot appliances or cooking zones.
Use appliances as designed
Damaged cords, controls or equipment deserve manufacturer or professional attention.
Do not improvise emergency techniques
If a fire occurs, follow local emergency guidance rather than experimenting with unverified methods.
General prevention information only. In an active emergency, follow local emergency services and official instructions. Do not attempt electrical, structural, fire-suppression, hazardous-chemical or other safety-critical work without appropriate professional competence.
