Better safe than Sorry
More than half of all accidental fires in your home start in the kitchen. Nearly all of these involve the cooker. Here are a few simple rules to help you stay safe:
- Never hang tea towels on the cooker.
- Never leave the cooker alone when it is switched on.
- Make sure the cooker is turned off when you have finished using it.
- Don't let leads from other appliances like kettles or toasters trail across the cooker.
- Don't let fat and grease build up on the cooker, especially in the grill pan where it can easily catch fire.
- Never allow children in the kitchen unsupervised.
