Frequently Asked Questions - FE5GR FIRST ALERT
What types of fires can the FE5GR extinguish?
The FE5GR is rated for Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (energized electrical equipment).
How do I know if the extinguisher is pressurized?
Check the pressure gauge on the handle. The needle should be in the green zone. If it's in the red, the extinguisher may not work properly and needs servicing.
How often should I inspect the fire extinguisher?
Perform a monthly visual inspection. Ensure it is accessible, the pin is intact, the gauge is in the green, and there is no visible damage. A professional inspection should be done annually.
Can the FE5GR be recharged after use?
Yes, the FE5GR is a rechargeable extinguisher. Contact a certified fire equipment professional to recharge it after discharge.
What is the lifespan of the FE5GR?
The extinguisher has a limited 6-year warranty. It is recommended to replace or professionally inspect it every 6 years, or after any use.
Where should I mount the extinguisher?
Mount it on a wall bracket in a highly visible, easily accessible location, away from heat sources and potential fire hazards, such as near an exit or kitchen.
How do I properly use the extinguisher?
Remember the P.A.S.S. technique: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.
Can I use this extinguisher on a grease fire?
Yes, it is safe for Class B fires including grease. However, for kitchen grease fires, ensure the extinguisher is rated for that and always aim at the base of the flame.
What should I do if the gauge shows a loss of pressure?
If the needle is not in the green zone, the extinguisher may be depressurized. Do not attempt to use it. Take it to a professional for servicing or replacement.
How do I dispose of the extinguisher if it's expired?
Do not throw it in the trash. Contact your local fire department or hazardous waste facility for proper disposal. Some brands offer recycling programs.
