"Cleaning your oven after a fire is a multi-step process. Once you have safely extinguished the fire, turn off the oven and close the oven door. You should also unplug or disconnect nearby appliances and electronics."
"To neutralize dry chemical fire extinguishing residue, spray a mixture of 50% warm water and 50% isopropyl alcohol on the oven's interior. If you used a sodium or potassium bicarbonate fire extinguisher, spray the oven's interior with a mixture of hot water and two tablespoons of white vinegar."
"The most common causes of oven fires are a malfunctioning or damaged oven component, a flammable item in the oven like a towel or baking paper, dirt or grease buildup, unattended cooking, and dripping or overflowing ingredients."
After extinguishing an oven fire, proper cleanup is crucial. Turn off the oven, ventilate the area, and document damage. Remove debris and vacuum residue. Neutralize fire extinguisher residue with specific mixtures. Soak oven racks in hot, soapy water and clean the oven interior thoroughly. Allow the oven to dry completely. Have the oven inspected by professionals before using it again to ensure safety. Common causes of oven fires include malfunctioning components, flammable items, grease buildup, and unattended cooking.
