Remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin, Aim low at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle slowly, and Sweep from side to side.
What should I do after using the extinguisher?
Even if only partially used, the extinguisher must be recharged by a qualified professional immediately. Never store a used extinguisher without recharging.
How often should I inspect the extinguisher?
Perform a monthly visual inspection to ensure the gauge is in the green, the pin is secure, and there is no damage or corrosion.
Where should I mount the extinguisher?
Mount it on a wall bracket in a visible, easily accessible location away from heat sources. Ideal spots include kitchens, garages, and near exits.

Contact your local hazardous waste disposal center or fire department. Do not throw it in regular trash. If it is empty, you can recycle the metal canister.
