How To Use Your Extinguisher
PULL YELLOW PIN. HOLD UNIT UPRIGHT.
STAND BACK SIX FEET. AIM AT FIRE'S
BASE.
PRESS 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.
DO NOT TEST
BY PARTIALLY DISCHARGING,
LOSS OF PRESSURE WILL OCCUR.

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
.

fighting, please contact your local Fire
Department. Additional information on extin-
guishers can be found in the National Fire
