• Stay with your food while cooking.
• Keep cooking area clean and decluttered.
• If grease fire starts in a pan, put a lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Never pour water on a grease fire and never discharge a fire extinguisher onto a pan fire, as it can spray or shoot burning grease around the kitchen, thus spreading the fire. Pull the fire alarm.
• If a fire starts in a microwave, keep the door closed.
• Double check the kitchen before you leave, make sure everything is turned off.
• Barbecue grills must only be used outdoors.
• Only cook when sober.

In the event of a fire, pull the fire alarm, turn off appliances (if possible) and evacuate the building immediately.
