Clothes ignition
Last Updated August 30, 2021
Be careful not to ignite your clothes.
When the flame burns to the clothes you are wearing during cooking, etc. is called clothing ignition. If the flame burns into clothing, the likelihood of injury due to burns is extremely high.
To prevent clothing ignition
- When cooking, don't wear loose clothes or wide sleeves.
- Do not place cooking utensils or seasonings in the back of the stove.
- Adjust the thermal power so that the flame does not protrude from the bottom of the pot.
- Use a flameproof apron or arm cover that is difficult to ignite even when fire comes in contact with fire.
If your clothes are ignited
- Don't panic, calm down and pour water.
- Let's turn it out with a towel.
- If you can't reach it on your back, etc., fall on the spot and roll left and right.
