Kidde Fire Extinguisher for Kitchen Single Use Aluminum 6 Year

Description

Product Overview

The Kidde 711A is a purpose‑built kitchen fire extinguisher designed for residential environments where grease fires are a common hazard. Constructed from durable aluminum, the extinguisher combines a lightweight feel with robust impact resistance, ensuring it can be stored in cabinets, mounted on walls, or placed on countertops without fear of damage. The 2.5 lb (1.1 kg) extinguishing agent is a dry chemical formulation specifically engineered to suppress Class K fires, which are typical in cooking scenarios involving oil and grease. A clear pressure indicator arrow shows when the unit is fully charged, giving users confidence that the extinguisher is ready for immediate use.

Dimensions of 4.81 × 3.88 × 15.5 inches (12.2 × 9.9 × 39.4 cm) and a weight of just 4.14 lb (1.88 kg) make the Kidde 711A compact enough to fit in standard kitchen cabinets while still providing coverage of 6‑8 square feet. The included mounting bracket and UL‑approved plastic wall hanger enable quick installation on the back of a pantry door or a dedicated fire safety panel, keeping the unit within easy reach during an emergency.

Usage

This extinguisher is intended for single‑use applications in home kitchens, especially where high‑temperature oil cooking is frequent. When a grease fire ignites, the flared nozzle design reduces the risk of oil splashing back onto the user, allowing a controlled discharge that blankets the fire. The discharge time of 8‑10 seconds and a discharge range of up to 5 feet give you enough time to suppress the flames before they spread. Because the unit is hand‑powered, no batteries or external power sources are required, simplifying maintenance and ensuring reliability.

Ideal for homeowners, renters, and small‑scale food‑service operators, the Kidde 711A can be mounted in a variety of locations: on a wall near the stove, inside a cabinet for discreet storage, or on a free‑standing bracket in a pantry. The clear pressure gauge lets you quickly verify readiness, and the QR code on the label provides instant access to registration, warranty information, and safety guidelines via a smartphone.
