Keep such items at a safe distance from your stove. Plugging too many appliances into the same outlet can cause a fire. Damaged or frayed electrical cords can cause electrical shock and catch fire. Heat oil slowly over moderate heat and never leave hot oil unattended. Do not attempt to cook if you have been drinking alcohol or are drowsy.
Loose sleeves can dangle too close to hot stove burners and catch fire.
Protect yourself by wearing sleeves that fit snugly or by rolling up your sleeves securely when you cook. Do not store things on or above your stove. Clothing can catch fire when you lean over stove burners to reach shelves. Leave the lid on until completely cool. Pouring water on or discharging a fire extinguisher at a pan of burning grease could spread the fire.
