FIRE SUPPRESSION
General
Clean-Up Procedure for Wet Chemical Agents
Wet chemical
restaurant agents are proven fire-extinguishing agents used in pre-engineered
restaurant fire suppression systems. The agent discharge is typically
confined to a localized area.
Wet chemical restaurant agents are mild to medium alkaline liquids
posing limited corrosion effects to common materials such as steel
and aluminum. Cleanup should occur as soon as possible to avoid
long-time exposure of the wet chemical agent to metal surfaces such
as steel and aluminum.
Long periods
of exposure could be apparent by the presence of discoloration or
dulling to the finishes of your appliances and cooking equipment.
When a wet chemical restaurant system discharge occurs, there is
no unusual cleanup procedure for the agent. The agent should be
cleaned from kitchen surfaces as soon as possible after a system
discharge:
Before attempting any cleanup procedure, make certain that all fuel
sources to the equipment to be cleaned have been shut off. Also,
make certain that the exhaust hood and all appliance electrical
controls have been de- energized to avoid electrical shock resulting
from the cleaning process. Also, prior to any cleaning procedure,
make certain that all surfaces to be cleaned have cooled down to
room temperature.
Wear rubber gloves during cleanup as sensitive skin may become irritated.
If the liquid agent or its residue comes in contact with your skin
or eyes, flush thoroughly with water.
Using hot, soapy water and either a clean cloth or sponge, wipe
away all foamy residue and thoroughly scrub all surfaces that have
come in contact with the fire extinguishing agent.
After thoroughly cleaning all affected surfaces, adequately rinse
and allow them to completely dry before re- energizing the equipment.
The agent is non-toxic; however, food product and cooking grease/oil
that has come in contact with the agent should be discarded.
Be sure to contact your local authorized Restaurant System distributor
as soon as possible to recharge and reset your system. Once the
system is reset, your cooking appliances can once again be turned
on.
