If you have to leave - even for a min- ute - turn off the stove and remove the pot/pan. • Keep things that can catch fire - like oven mitts, towels or food pack- aging - away from your stove top. • Keep a proper-fitting pot lid nearby when cook- ing.

Cover butts and ashes with water and sand before throwing out. • Never throw lit ciga- rettes butts off balconies, or put them out in plant pots. • Never smoke in bed.
