Fire extinguisher PROBLEMS AND MAINTENANCE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER?

It depends. But most likely not. Dry chemical, water, high pressure water and CO2 products may be needed for different areas such at the exit, store room (pantry) or large open areas that a foam extinguisher would not be practical. Where there is cooking with grease, oil, or fat; dry chemical and foam extinguishers are the best options. A class "A" fire extinguisher should be placed conspicuously near the exit for you and/or your kitchen workers. For detailed guidance and exact code compliance requirements contact your local fire department, county building inspector, or state fire marshals office. You can also research the National Fire Codes on line. NFPA 101 is a good starting place to research basic life safety and fire extinguisher requirements for commercial cooking. It will have many reference products and documents to help you with the selection and location of fire extinguishers in any type area.

Hello, Peter -

Go to this web page:
http://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/support/product-alerts/recall-kidde-fire-extinguisher/

Assuming your fire extinguisher is included in those affected by the recall, then click or tap on the red Affected button on the bottom of the page.

After that, follow the on-screen instructions. The return and replacement process will vary depending upon whether you reside in the USA or Canada.

Best wishes.

Entire oven inside will have to be dismantled, and individual parts cleaned with a soapy solution and rinsed and dried thoroughly

Pull the safety catch, aim at the bottom of the fire (not the top of the flame), and compress the trigger.

UD san diego has a great guide describing which details to inspect.

Well, there are different sizes, but they weigh no more than 30 lbs.

The are probably referring to an automatic fire extinguisher system, but from what I just read, the UK only requires a manual fire extinguisher to meet code.

The FSD would be fire extinguishers mounted on the wall instead of portable. They are only required in commercial restruarants.
