In general, two applications can be distinguished: preventive use and use in the event of fire:
Application in case of fire:
- Unfold the ceiling:
- Pull on the handles to remove the blanket from the bag. Unfold the blanket by pulling it apart using the handles.
- Safe handling:
- Only hold the blanket by the handles or the edges to avoid burns.
- Cover the fire:
- Carefully throw or lay the fire blanket over the burning or overheated appliance.
- Make sure that you are at a safe distance from the source of the fire.
- Ensure complete coverage:
- Make sure that the ceiling completely covers the appliance and creates an airtight seal.
- Press down the edges:
- Carefully press the edges of the blanket onto the floor or surrounding surfaces to cut off the oxygen supply and smother the fire.
- Do not remove the cover prematurely:
- Leave the blanket over the object until you are sure that the fire is completely out and there is no further danger.
In the event of larger or uncontrollable fires, alert the fire department immediately.
Keep the blanket in an easily accessible place so that you can act quickly in an emergency.
Preventive application:
- Unfold the ceiling:
- Pull the handles of the fire blanket apart to fully unfold it.
- Cover the battery:
- As a precaution, place the fire blanket over the battery to protect it in the event of ignition.
- Ensure complete coverage:
- Make sure that the blanket completely covers the battery and creates an airtight seal.
- Press down the edges:
- Carefully press the edges of the ceiling onto the floor or surrounding surfaces to cut off the oxygen supply and prevent the possible spread of flames in the event of a fire.
- Do not remove the cover prematurely:
- Leave the blanket in place until you are sure that there is no more danger.
This measure serves as a precautionary measure and is intended to minimize the risk of fire spreading.
