Disclaimer and terms of use

Information only, not advice

Everything on this site is general information provided for educational purposes only. It is not engineering, installation, gas, electrical, ventilation, fire-protection, food-safety, legal or other professional advice.

Do not rely on this site to specify, select, install, connect, operate or service any cooking equipment. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's installation and operating instructions, the building, mechanical, fuel gas, electrical, fire and health codes that apply where you are, the requirements of your local authority having jurisdiction, and the judgment of licensed installers, including gas fitters, electricians and hood and fire-suppression contractors.

Verify before you use it

The content may be incomplete, out of date or not suited to your kitchen. Figures, ranges, practices and examples are illustrative only, and published specifications sometimes differ between sources. Verify all information independently with the manufacturer's current documentation or a qualified professional before relying on it.

Safety

Commercial cooking equipment carries serious hazards, including gas leaks, carbon monoxide, fire, grease fires, electric shock, burns from hot surfaces, moving conveyor belts, and inadequate ventilation or exhaust. Gas, electrical, exhaust hood and fire-suppression work must be carried out by licensed professionals and inspected where your local codes require it.

Let equipment cool and disconnect it from power and fuel as the manufacturer directs before cleaning or servicing. Follow your workplace safety procedures and applicable occupational safety regulations. Nothing on this site replaces them.

When you submit a quote request, it may be shared with suppliers able to fulfil it. Any quote, product, recommendation, installation or service is provided by the supplier who responds, and any agreement is solely between you and that supplier. Confirm specifications, suitability, utility and hood requirements, pricing and terms directly with them.
