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. Model FESA5 is rated 5-B:C. It is NOT rated to fight Class A fires. READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER! 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 extin- guish. Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can do more harm than good. Make sure you understand which fire extin- guisher 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. 1 • 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). • This extinguisher contains a dry powder extinguishing agent. The agent/powder is nontoxic, but can irritate skin. When using this unit, avoid breathing the powder. Always ventilate the area after use. WHERE TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER This extinguisher is designed to be used in your car or other vehicle. It has a special mounting bracket to keep the unit from discharging accidentally. We recommend you mount the extinguisher to keep it safe from puncture or other damage. Since not every vehicle can accommodate the mounting bracket, the bracket is also designed to keep the extinguisher from rolling if you do not mount it. HOW TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER NOTE: Since surface types vary, mounting screws are not included. Purchase screws or bolts specifically designed for the surface on which you will mount the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher label lists its maximum weight. Installing the Mounting Bracket in A Vehicle Remove mounting bracket from extinguisher by unlocking the clasp and pulling the bracket away from the extinguisher. Use two strong screws (such as #8 machine screws) to mount the bracket securely onto metal or another solid surface that can support the weight of the fire extinguisher.
