Frequently Asked Questions - 466425 KIDDE
How do I use the Kidde 466425 fire extinguisher?
Remember the PASS technique: Pull the safety pin, Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle to discharge, and Sweep from side to side at the base of the flames.
What types of fires can this extinguisher put out?
This extinguisher is rated for Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper), Class B (flammable liquids like gasoline), and Class C (electrical fires). Do not use on combustible metals or cooking oils.
How do I check if the extinguisher is properly pressurized?
Look at the pressure gauge on the extinguisher. The needle should be in the green zone, indicating that the cylinder is at the correct operating pressure. If it is in the red, the unit needs service.
How often should I inspect the extinguisher?
Perform a quick monthly check: ensure the pin is intact, the gauge is in the green, and there are no signs of corrosion or damage. Shake it gently to prevent the powder from packing.
Where should I place my fire extinguisher in my home?
Place it on a wall bracket in an easily reachable area, away from heat sources. Ideal locations include the garage, kitchen (but not right next to the stove), and near exit doors.
Can I use this extinguisher on cooking oil fires?
No, this is a dry chemical extinguisher, not rated for Class K (cooking oil) fires. Using it on hot grease can cause splashing. For kitchens, consider a wet chemical or a fire blanket.
How do I know if the extinguisher needs recharging?
If you have discharged it even partially, it must be recharged. Also, if the gauge is in the red or the pin shows tamper evidence, have it inspected by a professional.
How long does the extinguisher's charge remain effective?
The dry chemical inside can stay effective for up to 12 years, but the unit should be replaced or recharged after 6 years or after any use, whichever comes first.
Can I recharge the extinguisher myself?
No, recharging requires specialized equipment and training. Always contact a certified fire equipment service professional to recharge or service the extinguisher.
How do I dispose of a used or expired extinguisher?
Do not throw it in the trash if it still contains pressure or chemical. Check with your local waste authority for hazardous waste disposal options. Many fire departments offer safe disposal programs.
