Safety Features
It’s essential that you understand the safety features
on your equipment to prevent equipment failure
during high demand periods. For example, many
ranges are equipped with a flame failure sensor
valve. This valve shuts off the gas supply when it
detects that the pilot light has been extinguished.
The system prevents a big accumulation of unignited
gas if the pilot light goes out or the system fails. In
order to relight the range, you must purge the line
which often takes longer than expected. If you don’t
know how the system works, and it’s 8:00pm on a
Saturday night rush, the cost of not knowing how to
operate your equipment can be quite high.
Aside from the configuration of the equipment
internally, there are some safety options available
in commercial equipment that can make it safer
for your staff. Disappearing doors for combi-ovens
are now available to allow staff to pull product out
and still have the path clear. Induction equipment
is gaining traction in the commercial food service
space due to its inherent safety and little to no
radiant heat from the burners. Once the vessel is
removed, an operator can literally touch the burner
with a bare hand without scalding their hand. Woks,
griddles and range tops are currently available
in induction already with more options being
developed.
