What is what to do when oven is on fire?

Here's what to do if your oven is on fire:

• Stay Calm: The most important thing is to remain calm to think clearly.

• Turn off the Oven: Immediately turn off the oven and any stovetop burners.

• Keep the Door Closed: Do not open the oven door. Opening the door will introduce more oxygen and can make the fire larger.

• Smother the Flames (If Safe): If it's a small grease fire, you might be able to smother it by throwing baking soda (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Baking%20Soda) into the oven. Never use water on a grease fire.

• Fire Extinguisher (If Trained): If you have a fire extinguisher (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Fire%20Extinguisher) rated for Class B fires (grease fires), and you know how to use it, you may carefully discharge it through the oven door vents or a small opening. Only do this if you are confident and know what you are doing.

• Call for Help: If the fire is large, spreading, or you are unsure of what to do, evacuate your home and call the fire department immediately (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Fire%20Department). Don't try to be a hero.

• After the Fire is Out: Once the fire is extinguished and the oven has cooled completely, have it inspected by a qualified technician before using it again.
