Guidelines for the installation of grilles in homes are as follows:

1⃣ The installation of the grille must have a keyless opening procedure that can be easily opened from within the premises during an emergency.

2️⃣ Need to consult and get advice from the FIRE department officer.

3️⃣ If installation with a lock is required, the opening procedure must be easily performed by all ages.

This guide is provided so that, in the event of any emergency, you can easily get out of your own home. Not trapped in it!

If you are trapped by the fire and cannot leave the building, what should you do?
• Enter a safe room, preferably one with a window that overlooks a road.
• Shut the door behind you but don’t lock it. Cover the bottom gap of the door with a wet blanket or rug to prevent smoke from seeping through.
• If you have access to a phone, call 999 and inform the operator of your location, what is on fire and if there are others trapped with you.
• If you do not have access to a phone, shout for help from the window. Never attempt to climb out or jump out of the building. Wait patiently until help comes.

We hope this helps you a little if you are in that situation.

Fire safety tips when using a microwave oven:
• Read and follow the manufacturer’s installation and operating guide including the safety instructions before using a new microwave oven.
• Don’t try to heat things that are not meant for the microwave. A quick place to dry your clothes? Not recommended!
• Never use metal as this can cause arcing which can lead to a fire. The metal-edged bowls, metal foil or even twist ties in microwave ovens.
• Recycled paper towel products often have tiny metal flecks that can cause sparks and flames. Only use in the microwave if the labels say it’s safe.
• Clean the microwave oven after use, to reduce fire potential. Clear up the oven cavity and the outer edge of the hole. Always unplug the oven when cleaning.
• Don’t burn the popcorn! Start with the minimum recommended time needed and build slowly. Some microwaves get the job done in less than a minute, and that burnt smell will be around long after the movie finishes.
• Keep it tasty. Make sure your containers are microwave safe to avoid melted containers and the chance of chemicals being absorbed into your food.
• Heating a wheat bags can cause fire risk, do not heat longer than manufacturer’s instructions and never more than 3 minutes and adding oils to wheat bags increase the fire hazard. Adding a cup of water in the microwave oven may decrease the risk of a bag drying out too much. Homemade wheat bags have a higher chance to risk So be extra cautious with these.
• Do not heat flammable liquids like oil; it can develop a fire or explosion.
• Still in a rush? Let your food sit for one more minute before removing and watch the steam escaping when removing the wrappers. Many burns have happened this way, and especially by children.
• If there is a fire, use Fire Extinguisher to extinguish that fire, switch off the microwave oven right away and unplug the power cord if safe to do so.
