How To Use Your Extinguisher

1PULL YELLOW PIN. HOLD UNIT UPRIGHT.

2STAND BACK SIX FEET. AIM AT FIRE'S BASE.

3PRESS BUTTON, SWEEP SIDE TO SIDE.

After the fire is out, clean up dry chemical powder immediately to avoid corrosion.

CAUTION: Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent. The agent contained in this extinguish- er is not toxic, but may cause skin irritation. In case of contact, flush affected area with clean, cool water. If irritation persists, contact a doc- tor immediately. Chemical name of agent is printed on extinguisher label.

CAUTION: Under certain fire and heat condi- tions, the dry chemical in this extinguisher (and similar units) will cause damage or prove extremely difficult to remove from oven sur- faces, including self-cleaning models. Do not use the self-cleaning feature to remove BC Powder. Vacuum or sweep up the powder promptly after the extinguisher is used. After the bulk of the powder has been removed, wipe the area carefully with a dampened cloth or sponge to complete the job without scratching the surface being cleaned.

Inspection And Maintenance

To ensure that your fire extinguisher will be ready when needed:

•Read and follow all instructions on label and in owner’s manual.

•Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month—more frequently if exposed to weather or possible tampering.

•Make sure yellow pull pin is intact. Check pressure by pressing in white indicator button. If button does not spring back, extinguisher will not work properly and MUST BE DISCARDED. Examine nozzle for obstructions.

Which Extinguisher To Use

There are two common types of fire extin- guishers. Type ABC extinguishers fight wood, paper & cloth fires, flammable liquids and are suitable for use on electrical fires. Type BC extinguishers are for flammable liquids and are safe to use on electrical fires. To determine which class or classes of fire your extinguisher is designed to fight, locate the blue use code symbols on the front extinguisher label.

Using the wrong extinguisher on a fire could do more harm than good. Be sure you under- stand which extinguisher is appropriate for each class of fire. For protection against ALL COMMON CLASSES OF FIRES, you must choose a type ABC extinguisher.

Mounting Your Extinguisher

A plastic bracket is included with your extin- guisher. Refer to the instructions below:

1.Attach your fire extinguisher’s mounting bracket to a solid surface like a wooden door frame, or through the studs in a plasterboard wall. Mounting in drywall board alone is not recommended.

2.Operating instructions are to face outward.
