PREFACE

This publication represents a basic standard for safe operation, substantial and durable construction and acceptable performance of food service gas ranges and unit broilers. It is the result of years of experience in the manufacture, testing, installation, maintenance, inspection and research on appliances designed for the utilization of gas.

Nothing in this standard is to be considered in any way as indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of food service gas ranges and unit broilers, the construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions specified herein. In its preparation, full recognition has been given to possibilities of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations should be forwarded to the Chairman of Accredited Standards Committee Z83, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131.

Safe and satisfactory operation of a food service gas range or a unit broiler depends to a great extent upon its proper installation, and it should I be installed, as applicable, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-19S4, manufacturers' installation instructions, and local municipal building codes.
