Since wall surface types vary, mounting screws are not included. Purchase screws or bolts specifically designed for the surface on which you will mount the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher label lists its maximum weight. 2. After installing the metal bracket, place the extinguisher on the bracket with the label facing outward, so the label can easily be read. Raise and wrap the bracket straps around the cylinder and snap the buckle closed. CHECKING AND INSPECTING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER • DO NOT CHECK THE PRESSURE OR TEST THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER BY SQUEEZING THE LEVER, EVEN BRIEFLY. ONCE USED, IT WILL GRADUALLY LOSE PRESSURE AND WILL NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FOR USE IN AN EMERGENCY. • Only an authorized fire equipment dealer must refill this extinguisher. The extinguisher must be refilled with the same chemical that it contained when it was first purchased. Improper filling can result in non-working or dangerous units. 1. Inspect the extinguisher once a week. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting device and inspect the gauge. If the gauge pointer is anywhere in the green band, the extinguisher is properly charged and ready to use. If the gauge reads "RECHARGE," the extinguisher has lost pressure and must be refilled. 2. Check for signs of damage or misuse. Make sure you can still read all the text on the label. Carefully examine the surface of the extinguisher for corrosion. You can help prevent corrosion by cleaning the extinguisher if it gets wet or dirty. If you notice corrosion during the warranty period, return the unit to First Alert® (see "Limited Warranty" at the end of this manual). 3. Make sure the tamper indicator ("safety seal") is still intact and the nozzle is clean and unobstructed. 1 Continued...

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY • Make sure your extinguisher may be safely and effectively used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme caution when fighting any fire. Fight a fire only where there is a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire gets worse. • Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes; stay low if necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes. Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death. • Always stand back far enough away from the fire—near an exit—and make sure nothing is between you and your escape route. If you get too close to a fire, you risk getting burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 10 feet (3 meters), DO NOT try to fight the fire yourself. Evacuate immediately and call the Fire Department. Stand back no less than 10 feet (3 meters) from the fire. • For fires on a kitchen stove, turn oven or burners off immediately if possible. If you can’t reach the oven or burner controls safely, extinguish the fire first, then turn them off. • Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing towards you can result in serious injury. TO FIGHT THE FIRE This unit will not operate when it is on the mounting device. The extinguisher must be removed from the mounting device or it cannot discharge its contents to fight a fire.

If your fire extinguisher came with a metal bracket, unbuckle the metal strap to remove the extinguisher from the mounting device. 2. Hold the unit firmly in an upright position. Pull out the safety pin to break the safety seal or tamper indicator. Make sure the extinguisher nozzle faces away from you. 3. Stand back from the fire at least 10 feet (3 meters), and make sure the fire is not between you and your exit. 4. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 5. Press the lever to discharge the powder. 6. Sweep the spray at the base of the burning material, using quick side-to-side motions. (If the spray scatters the fire, move back.) 7.
