Consumer Affairs: (800) 323-9005 • IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FIRE EXTINGUISHERS NOTE: Be sure the extinguisher is rated to fight the type of fire most likely to occur in the area you choose to install it. Since household fires commonly start in the kitchen, you should always install an extinguisher in the kitchen. For added security, you should also install additional extinguishers in utility areas, and other living areas in your household. Fire extinguishers are classified by fire type. The A, B and C rating system defines the kinds of burning materials each fire extinguisher is designed to fight. The numbers in front of the A, B, or C indicate the rating for size of the fire the unit can extinguish. Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can do more harm than good. Make sure you understand which fire extinguisher to use on each class of fire! Class A rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and some plastics. Class B rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving grease, oil, gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable liquids. Class C rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires in "live" electrical equipment. BF5 is rated 5-B:C. It is NOT rated to fight Class A fires. READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER! • This extinguisher is designed for use against small fires that have just started and are small enough to fight safely. It is not designed to fight large fires that are burning out of control. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters) of it, do not try to fight it yourself. Warn everyone, evacuate the premises, and have someone call the Fire Department from outside the building. Trying to fight a large fire yourself can result in injury or death. • Do not puncture or burn any fire extinguisher. The contents are under pressure, and the extinguisher could explode. • Never locate this extinguisher close to an engine, stove or other source of heat. It is pressurized and could rupture or explode if exposed to temperatures over 150° F (66° C). WHERE TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER A Fire Extinguisher Should Be Mounted: • In the vicinity of (but not on or in) a potential source of heat and/or fire, like an oven or stove. • Where it is easy to reach, near an exit or an escape route from the room. • In a location that is convenient, in plain sight, and 3-1/2 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) above the floor. • Store the extinguisher high enough to keep it out of the reach of small children. • On a clean, dry surface where the temperature does not go above 120° F (49° C) or below –40° F (–40° C).
