3.5.1
Fire
Do not use water to extinguish an electrical fire. Dousing an electrical fire with water
increases the risk of electrocution, and may cause the fire to spread by allowing
electricity to conduct across additional flammable surfaces.
If a localized fire develops either inside or outside of the machine, immediately take the
following actions.
If the fire is inside the device:
1. Immediately disconnect the machine from its power source.
2. If the outer lid is open, close it if possible.
°
If the fork is up and/or a part inside the Form Wash L is on fire, do not close the outer lid.
Place a fire blanket over the unit.
3. Use an ABC fire extinguisher to cover the affected area generously.
If the fire is too large to control:
1. Immediately leave the area and close the door of the room behind you.
2. Evacuate the building according to your organization’s emergency protocols.
3. Call emergency services once you have reached a safe distance from the fire.
