Burn Prevention Tips

Set your home water heater to 110 - 115°F (43.3 - 46.1°C) to prevent accidental scalds.

Always turn pot handles toward the back of the stove and use the back burners when possible.

Never use water on a grease fire. Slide a lid over the pan and turn off the heat.

Establish a 3-foot "safety zone" around the stove and areas where hot food is prepared.

Test alarms monthly and change batteries every 6 months.
