HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY • Make sure your extinguisher may be safely and effectively used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme caution when fighting any fire. Fight a fire only where there is a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire gets worse. • Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes; stay low if necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes. Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death. • Always stand back far enough away from the fire—near an exit—and make sure nothing is between you and your escape route. If you get too close to a fire, you risk getting burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters), DO NOT try to fight the fire yourself. Evacuate immediately and call the Fire Department. • For fires on a kitchen stove, turn oven or burners off immediately if possible. If you can’t reach the oven or burner controls safely, extinguish the fire first, then turn them off. • Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing towards you can result in serious injury. Remove Extinguisher Break the Squeeze Trigger To from Bracket Safety Seal Discharge Powder This unit will not operate with mounting bracket attached. The extinguisher must be removed from the mounting bracket or it cannot discharge its contents to fight a fire. “ ”’ Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances until the area has been cleaned up completely. It is very important to remove the powder from electrical equipment after a fire. If the powder gets wet, it can conduct electricity. (Using a dry chemical extinguisher on wet electrical equipment may be hazardous for this reason.) This may worsen an electrical leakage problem, impair the equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard. If the fire was on a kitchen stove: • Make sure the oven and all burners are turned off. • Clean up the powder completely before using the stove or oven-this is especially important for self-cleaning ovens. Ventilate the area thoroughly. If you think the fire had an electrical origin: • Shut off the electrical power, if possible--do not touch any electrical wires or appliances. • Leave the building and close all doors behind you. Call the Fire Department and have them inspect the entire house As soon as they say it’s safe to return, ventilate the area thoroughly. • Have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system. Do not turn the power back on or plug in any electrical equipment until the inspection has been completed.
