## Cooking equipment, holding equipment, warewashing, powered food preparation, point-of-use refrigeration, ice and beverage equipment, and custom stainless-steel fabrications are within scope; this standard stays at the point of use, so remote refrigeration compressor and condenser racks and the refrigerant piping serving them are covered by [[sync/refrigeration-equipment]], and only self-contained refrigeration (reach-in, under-counter, prep tables, blast chillers) is specified here. {note}
−## Exhaust hoods and their ductwork are specified in [[sync/kitchen-exhaust-systems]]; the wet-chemical suppression system protecting the hood and cooking line is specified in [[sync/kitchen-hood-fire-suppression]]; grease interceptor sizing is in [[sync/grease-interceptors]]; and hand sinks, mop sinks, and pot-fill faucets treated as plumbing fixtures are in [[sync/plumbing-fixtures]] -- this standard coordinates with all of them but specifies none of them. {note}

## Every gas-fired equipment item shall bear AGA/CSA certification to ANSI Z83.11 / CSA 1.8.
−## Sanitation listing is not the same as safety listing: NSF listings address food protection and cleanability while UL, ETL, and CSA listings address electrical and gas safety, so each item must carry both an applicable sanitation listing and an applicable safety listing -- confirming one does not confirm the other, and a gap in either is grounds for rejection by the corresponding authority having jurisdiction. {note}

## Custom stainless-steel fabrications are the most common listing gap, because local fabrication shops frequently produce work tables, sinks, and shelving without an NSF 2 certification mark; the health department may accept a field inspection of materials, joints, and finish as equivalent, but only at its discretion and only when confirmed before the fabrication is approved for use. {note}

# Furnish and Install Responsibility {toc}
−## Foodservice packages routinely mix three procurement models on one project -- contractor-furnished and contractor-installed (CFCI), owner-furnished and contractor-installed (OFCI), and owner-furnished and owner-installed (OFOI) -- each of which shifts coordination responsibility differently even though the rough-ins do not change with the procurement model; the responsibility must therefore be stated per item so that no equipment arrives on site with an unassigned installer. {note}

## Each cooking appliance shall be provided with a disconnecting means within sight, or a lockable breaker where a local disconnect is not practical.
−## Changing the cooking line after the hood and suppression system are engineered forces re-engineering of both, because hood type, capture geometry, and nozzle placement all depend on the specific appliances beneath them; the cooking equipment selection and layout must therefore be locked before the suppression contractor designs the system (see [[sync/kitchen-exhaust-systems]] and [[sync/kitchen-hood-fire-suppression]]). {note}

## Energy Source {toc}
### A single kitchen commonly mixes gas cooking with electric holding and refrigeration, and because the energy source determines the rough-in entirely, it is selected per appliance and recorded in the equipment schedule. {note}
+### The energy source for each cooking appliance shall be specified individually and recorded in the equipment schedule, since it determines that appliance's rough-in.

# Warewashing Equipment {toc}
−## Commercial dishwashers sanitize one of two ways -- high-temperature machines reach a final rinse hot enough to sanitize thermally, while low-temperature machines sanitize chemically at lower wash temperatures -- and the choice determines the electrical load, the water-heating demand, and the chemical-feed equipment, rarely interchangeable after rough-in. {note}

## Warewashing equipment shall be listed to NSF/ANSI 3 and shall sanitize by either high-temperature rinse or chemical injection.

# Powered Food Preparation Equipment {toc}
−## Motor-driven preparation equipment -- mixers, slicers, food processors, grinders, and choppers -- has both food-contact surfaces that must be cleaned and motor drives that must be electrically safe, so each item carries both a sanitation listing (NSF 8) and an electrical safety listing (UL 763). {note}

# Point-of-Use Refrigeration {toc}
−## This standard covers self-contained reach-in and under-counter refrigerators and freezers, refrigerated prep tables, and blast chillers, while remote condensing units and the refrigerant piping serving walk-ins and multiplexed cases are covered by [[sync/refrigeration-equipment]]; the dividing line is the condensing unit -- if it sits on or within the cabinet, it is point-of-use and belongs here. {note}

## Reach-in refrigerators shall hold food at 5°C (41°F) or below, and reach-in freezers shall hold at their rated freezing set point.
−## Newer self-contained units increasingly use A2L mildly flammable refrigerants such as R-454A or R-290 (propane), which reduce global-warming impact but carry charge-size limits and may trigger ventilation or leak-detection requirements; AHJ acceptance and any associated requirements must be verified before specifying or accepting such a unit. {note}

## Minimum clearance between the top of cooking equipment and a combustible ceiling shall be 18 in. (460 mm); reduced clearances are permitted only where the equipment listing allows and to noncombustible construction.
−## The suppression system in [[sync/kitchen-hood-fire-suppression]] is designed around the specific appliances and their positions, so any change to appliance type or location after the system is designed requires re-engineering the nozzle coverage -- the reason the cooking line must be locked before the suppression contractor begins design. {note}
