- Stay calm and if safe to do so, turn off the heat source.
- Pull the tabs downwards to release the blanket from its container.
- Protect your hands by rolling the top edge of the blanket over them to form a shield.
- Carefully place the blanket over the entire fire, starting from the nearest edge to prevent flames from running up the blanket.
- Do not throw the blanket. Gently pat down the edges to seal in the oxygen.
- Leave the blanket in place for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the burning materials (especially hot oil/fat) to cool completely below their self-ignition temperature.
- Evacuate the area and contact emergency services.
