FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Familiarize yourself with the location of the fire extinguishers and the stairs. There are two fire

extinguishers authorized for the kitchen.

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

BURNER UNITS

Death or severe injury may result from explosion or fire if personnel fail to observe the correct operating

procedures for M-2 Burner Units. The Model M-2 Burner Units should be moved a minimum of 50 feet

from the kitchen and the fuel storage area prior to servicing. Immediately shut off the burner unit and

remove it from the cooking rack or cabinet if the pressure gauge reaches the red area.

Correct operating procedures should be observed when using the Modern Burner Unit (MBU). MBUs may

only be used in an MKT where MWO 10-7360-206-30-1 has been applied. Death or severe injury may

result from explosion or fire if personnel fail to observe the correct operating procedures for Modern

Burner Units.

GASOLINE LANTERNS

Gasoline lanterns should not be hung any place other than the lantern hooks provided. Death or severe

injury may result from fire or explosion if personnel fail to observe this procedure.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE/DIOXIDE GAS CAN KILL YOU

CARBON MONOXIDE/DIOXIDE GAS

Carbon monoxide/dioxide gas is not visible and it has no smell, but it can kill you. Breathing air with

carbon monoxide/dioxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy

feeling, and coma. Brain damage or death can result from heavy exposure. Carbon monoxide/dioxide

occurs in exhaust fumes of fuel-burning heaters, such as the M-2 and MBU Burner Units, and internal

combustion engines. Carbon monoxide/dioxide can become dangerously concentrated under conditions

of no air movement. Precautions must be followed to insure crew safety when you operate this equipment.

OPEN roof vents to provide ventilation and prevent the gradual accumulation of carbon monoxide gas.

BE ALERT at all times during kitchen operation for exposure symptoms IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE

the kitchen. If symptoms persist, move affected crew to fresh air and keep warm. DO NOT PERMIT

PHYSICAL EXERCISE: if necessary, give artificial respiration. FOR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
