Please read the following before proceeding:   August 2006
Dear Customers:
Robertshaw Controls Company, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Products
Safety Commission (CPSC), is instituting a recall of certain models of FS Flame
Switches and FM Automatic Safety Valves. The FS Flame Switches and FM Automatic
Safety Valves that are being recalled are installed in natural and liquid
propane (LP) gas commercial cooking equipment. The recalled controls were
manufactured between August 2005 through June 2006. Consumers who had cooking
equipment installed or serviced prior to August 2005 are unaffected. If your
range, oven, broiler, steam appliance, pasta cooker, deep fat fryer, or griddle
was installed or serviced during or after August 2005, it is possible that you
have an affected control.
Cooking equipment brands potentially affected include: Bari (Restaurant and
Pizzeria), Blodgett, Keating (of Chicago), Southbend, Toastmaster,
Vulcan, and Wolf Range. Please check your specific piece of equipment
under the What Products are Involved link.
Under some circumstances, these controls may remain on when the pilot light is
extinguished. If the controls remain on with the pilot light
extinguished, gas could continue to flow to the main burner of the
appliance. This can result in a gas explosion and fire which could result
in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
If you believe you may have an affected appliance, please click on
What Products are Involved. If you need further assistance,
please call the Robertshaw toll-free number at 1.800.232.9389 from 8:30am to 5pm CST, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Please have the model and serial numbers
of your appliance ready when you call Robertshaw. The model and serial numbers
can be located on the manufacturer's label on the cooking appliance.
As with any gas appliance, if you smell gas near the appliance or in the
building, immediately leave the area and call your gas company or a certified
gas technician to investigate the cause.
