Fire Safety
If a fire does start, follow these basic safety rules:
1.

Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications
identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.
Class A - Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B - Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable liq-
uids.
Class C - Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only.
We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the
side of the fire extinguisher.
™ NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to the fire
extinguisher user's manual included in your warranty packet.
Inspection and maintenance
Read and follow all instructions on the label and user's manual provided by the fire extin-
guisher manufacturer.
™ NOTE: Inspect the extinguisher at least once a week (more frequently if it is
exposed to weather or possible tampering). This should also be done before
beginning a vacation or during an extended trip.
