FAQ

1. How do I use the Elide Fire?

There are 2 ways: (1) you can install it above items and machinery (e.g. electrical power panels, cooking hobs, battery charging stations, prayer altars etc) where there is a higher risk of fire. If a fire breaks out, the ELIDE FIRE will be your first line of fire safety. (2) You can keep it handy and accessible so that it is easily reached and tossed into a fire.

2. How does it activate?

The ELIDE FIRE must be in contact with a flame before it will be activated. At the surface of the ball is a fuse cord that is made of a flame-sensitive material. Once the ball comes into contact with fire, the ball will burst and disperse the dry chemical powder.
