Bosch Appliances HDI7282U manual Fire Safety, To Reduce the Risk of a Range TOP Grease Fire

Safety
Fire Safety	• Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
	especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
	may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
	• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom
	of the pan.
	• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door
	closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
	breaker box.
	• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
	hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
	• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam-
	mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the
	burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
	• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
	• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
	and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a)Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b)Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

c)Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d)Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

•In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi- ately to extinguish flames.

•Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A

GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

•SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

•NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be burned.

•DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.

•Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1)You know you have a CLASS ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.

2)The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3)The fire department is being called.

4)You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

•Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.
