Detailed explanation-1: -Currently, the only effective extinguisher rated as Class K is the Wet Chemical fire extinguisher.

Detailed explanation-3: -Every commercial kitchen should have a Class K extinguisher to supplement the suppression system. The use of a multi-purpose ABC extinguisher may prove ineffective to extinguish a kitchen fire and can also result in damage to cooking equipment.
