(Specification)Standard Specification for Underfired Broilers
Standard Specification for Underfired Broilers
ABSTRACT
This specification covers underfired broilers which utilize gas or electrical heat sources for cooking food in commercial and institutional food service establishments. Broilers covered by this specification are classified by type, style, fuel class, and size. Broilers shall have heat sources arranged so that different areas of the broiler may be controlled independently. When specified in the contract or purchase order, performance testing shall be performed in accordance with Test Method F1695.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers underfired broilers which utilize gas or electrical heat sources for cooking food in commercial and institutional food service establishments.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
