Fire Extinguishers
Model
FE5R
IMPORTANT! Please read carefully and save.
This user’s manual contains important information about your fire extin-
guisher’s operation. If you are installing this fire extinguisher for use by
others, you must leave this manual—or a copy of it—with the end user.
Read extinguisher label and the entire user’s manual carefully before
installing or using the unit. Make sure everyone in your household is
completely familiar with the operation of the extinguisher, and review
the instructions regularly. In an emergency, you will not have time to
read instructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
NOTE: Be sure the exti ung isher is rated to fight the type of fire
most likely to occur in the area you choose to install it. Since house-
hold 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.
BF5 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
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:T he agent/powder is suitable for
fighting small fires in "live" electrical equipment.
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).
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.
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. The mounting bracket must be secure so you can
remove the extinguisher quickly in an emergency.
1. Install the mounting bracket
as shown in “Installing The
Mounting Bracket” using strong
screws (such as #8 machine
screws) with washers and nuts.
The screws should not be
l er than necessary toong
accommodate a washer and
n . M nting screws, washers,ut ou
and nuts are not included (see
Note above.)
2. After installing the mounting
bracket, replace the extinguisher
on the bracket.
BF5 for Mobile Homes only.
This extinguisher can be mounted in
t l wall receptacle provided he specia
in your mobile home or on a wall
bracket (bracket can only be pur-
chased through Consumer Affairs:
800-323-9005 and order part number
B70-78-00) osit. P ion the mounting
strap across the extinguisher to
secure the extinguisher. The label
should face outward so it can be
easily read. See Figure. If you are
using the mounting bracket
B70-78-00, follow mounting
instructions number 1 and 2
above.
CHECKING AND INSPECTING
THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
1. Inspect and test the extinguisher once a
week. Start by removing the extinguisher
from the mounting bracket/cap. Check
the extinguisher pressure by pressing
the green button on top of the cap as
shown in “Checking the Pressure.”
If the button pops back up, the
exting uisher is properly pressurized
and ready to use. If the button stays
down, the extinguisher has lost pressure
and must be replaced.
2. Check for signs of damage or misuse.
Make sure you can still read all the text
on the label. Carefully examine the sur-
face of the extinguisher for corrosion.
You can help prevent corrosion by
cleaning the extinguisher if it gets wet
or dirty. If you notice corrosion during the warranty period, return
the unit to First Alert
®(see "Limited Warranty" at the end of this
manual).

• Do not mount the extinguisher on drywall or plaster without
adequate support. Use strong screws or bolts to mount the
bracket securely into solid wood or metal that can support it,
like a wooden partition stud. Secure mounting is needed so
you can remove the extinguisher quickly and easily in an emer-
gency. Also, if the extinguisher is not held securely, it could
drop to the floor and injure people or damage the extinguisher
• Do not break the plastic loop holding the safety pin in place!
This loop prevents accidental discharge of the fire
extinguisher. Break the loop only in an emergency before
using the fire extinguisher.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE
EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY
TO FIGHT THE FIRE
1. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting bracket or mounting
strap.
2. Hold the unit firmly with the nozzle facing
away from you. Pull out the pin to break the
“Safety Seal”. You won’t be able to squeeze
the trigger until the safety seal is removed.
3. Stand back 6 feet (2 meters) from the fire
and make sure the fire is not between you
and your exit.
4. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim the
nozzle at the base of the fire.
5. Press and hold the trigger to discharge the
powder.
6. Sweep the spray at the base of the burning
material, using quick side-to-side motions.
(If the spray scatters the fire, move back.)
7. Move slowly towards the fire as the
extinguisher spray pushes the fire back.
Maintain a 6-foot (2 meter) distance between
you and the front of the fire at all times.
8. Completely discharge the contents of the extinguisher and make
sure the fire is completely out. Flashbacks are common with fires.
9. For kitchen fires on a kitchen stove, turn off the stove immediately
if possible, otherwise as soon as it is safe.
10. If you suspect a fire had an electrical origin, shut off the electrical
power, if possible, without eliminating your escape route. Do not
touch electrical wires or appliances.
11. After you have completely discharged your extinguisher, leave the
building and close all the doors behind you.
• 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 p ath 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
N OT 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.

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.

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.

AFTER THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED
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.
See “How to Clean After Using a Fire Extinguisher”. Ventilate the
ar ea 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.
3. Make sure the tamper indicator
(“safety seal”) is still intact as shown
in “Location Of The ‘Safety Seal’” and
the nozzle is clean and unobstructed.
4. When you finish inspecting the fire
extinguisher, always put it back into the
mounting bracket. Make sure the han-
dle is locked down and the safety seal
is intact.
