How to Use & Safety Info – StaySafe All-In-1 Fire Extinguisher

How to Use the StaySafe All-In-1 Fire Extinguisher (Lithium & Electrical Fires)

Quick, practical guidance for keeping a compact fire safety device ready for lithium battery, electrical and common household fires.

TL;DR

  • Remove cap, stand back, aim at the base of the flames, squeeze and spray.
  • Keep spraying until the unit is fully discharged (recommended to reduce re-ignition risk).
  • One-time use only — dispose of it after use and replace with a full unit.
  • Electrical safety: safe for use on electrical equipment up to 1000V from a minimum distance of 1 metre.

What types of fires can it tackle?

StaySafe All-In-1 is designed to handle multiple fire types, reducing the need to keep several different extinguishers on hand. The manufacturer lists it as suitable for:

  • Electrical fires
  • Lithium-ion battery fires
  • Cooking oil fires
  • Petrol / diesel / motor oil fires
  • Paper / card, textiles, timber / wood fires
  • Bioethanol fires

Note: Always follow local fire safety guidance and your workplace/site requirements.

Where to keep it (so it’s actually useful)

The best extinguisher is the one you can reach in seconds. Consider keeping StaySafe All-In-1 in:

  • Kitchen (away from direct heat sources)
  • Garage / toolshed / workshop
  • Office / storeroom / server or comms area
  • Car (glovebox/door pocket/boot — keep secured)
  • Community rooms, clubs, and shared spaces where devices charge

How to use StaySafe All-In-1 (step-by-step)

  1. Pop off the cap.
    Pull off the cap to get your StaySafe All-In-1 ready to go.
  2. Take a step back.
    Stand back about 3 feet / ~1 metre and keep a clear exit behind you.
  3. Aim at the base of the flames.
    Point the nozzle at the source of the fire (not the top of the flames).
  4. Press and spray.
    Squeeze the nozzle to release a strong stream directly at the fire.
  5. Keep spraying until empty.
    The fire should go out in seconds, but keep spraying until all fluid is used to help prevent re-ignition.

Important cautions & warnings

  • One-time use only. After use, dispose of it properly and replace with a new unit.
  • Electrical safety: safe for use on electrical equipment up to 1000V from a minimum distance of 1 metre. Do not get closer than this on live equipment.
  • If the fire is growing, filling the room with smoke, or you feel unsafe: evacuate immediately and call emergency services.
  • Do not delay evacuation to keep fighting a fire. Your safety comes first.
  • Keep out of reach of children and store securely.
  • Do not puncture or burn the container (even when empty).
  • After any lithium-battery event: monitor the area and affected device for re-ignition risk, and follow local guidance for disposal.

StaySafe uses a wet chemical that the manufacturer describes as non-toxic and non-hazardous, and eco-friendly. Even so, it should only be used for fire emergencies and as directed.

Storage guidance

  • Store in an accessible place where it won’t be buried behind clutter.
  • Keep away from direct heat sources and secure it so it won’t roll around in a vehicle.
  • Manufacturer storage range: tested and stored up to 49°C and down to -10°C with no adverse effect.
  • Check your unit label/packaging for any expiry or replacement guidance.

Why this matters for lithium battery safety

Lithium-ion battery incidents can be fast, intense and unpredictable — especially around charging areas (tools, e-mobility devices, toys, laptops). Having a compact fire safety device close by can buy critical seconds while you move people to safety and stop a small incident from becoming a major fire.
