Keep combustibles away from the stove, especially loose sleeves or scarves.
Hot grease can spatter and ignite any paper, cloth, or wood nearby.
Avoid getting any grease build up in any part of the oven. A greasy broiler can catch fire even during pre-heating. If there is too much fat on a piece of meat, the grease can flare up and start a fire. It will fan the fire or spatter grease. Never turn on the exhaust fan or use water.
