Kitchensafe is a complete and comprehensive fire suppression system for gas and electric cooktops. The small control enclosure allows it to be mounted anywhere. Kitchensafe is designed for University Student Campus Housing, Senior living Properties, Churches, Daycare Facilities, Apartments, Breakrooms, Catering Kitchens, and much more.

Control Box measures, 8 X 8 X 4 inches.

The Kitchensafe system self-monitors and detects any fault that may occur with the system. Normal operating mode is pictured with power and appliance supply L.E.D. light illuminated.

The main control box contains terminals for all Kitchensafe functions.

The system is shipped with every part needed to install the Kitchensafe system. Braided supply line, heat sensor, metron/squib device, nozzles and 2 liter suppressant bottles are included.

The terminal to the far left is for a manual pull station. The next terminal (firing pin) is for the metron/squib device. The “BMS” (building management system) terminal is used to connect to the central alarm. The pressure switch monitors the bottle chemical pressure and indicates if the bottle pressure is low. The terminal marked “sniffer” is for a remote gas detection device if desired. In the picture the “sniffer” terminal is “looped” to complete the circuit when it is not used. The appliance terminal is wired to the gas or electrical “shunt” relay to shut the cooking device off if the Kitchensafe unit is activated.

When the temperature reaches 122 degrees Fahrenheit, an audible warning sounds to let the user know that the heat level is rising. If the heat source is removed the system resets and no action is required. When the heat at the sensor reaches 158 degrees Fahrenheit, the system activates, an audible tone is heard, the cooktop is shut off and the fire is extinguished in about 5 seconds.

The Kitchensafe “fixed” nozzle ensures that nozzles cannot be accidentally moved out of place. Fire Marshals everywhere appreciate this very important feature. The Kitchensafe system will cover cooktops up to 48 inches wide using a 2-nozzle system. The only change required is to add one more nozzle everything else remains the same. The Kitchensafe system can be mounted up to 15 feet away from the cooktop. If you have a difficult installation this allows other options for the location of the system.

The 2-liter suppressant cylinder is filled slightly above “12 bar” which is 174 P.S.I. The “wet chemical” is environmentally friendly and will not harm the appliance, counter tops or flooring.

Cleans up easily with soap and water!

The electronic metron/squib device is more reliable than a “fusible link”. A fusible link system must keep tension on the firing hardware and the flame needs to be very large to break the link. The metron/squib is “hand” threaded into the top of the fitting that is already installed on the top of cylinder. The wiring metron/squib connects to the terminal marked firing pin.

The small green plug on the reset tool is installed into the “reset” hole/terminal. The reset of the Kitchensafe system will be completed later.

The reset toggle switch is placed in the “firing pin” terminal. This takes the place of the metron/squib in the “firing pin” terminal. RED wire of the reset tool is placed in the right side terminal.

Please refer to the product manual for further reset instructions!

The shunt/relay shuts off the electric power supply if the Kitchensafe system activates. This eliminates the possibility of a cooktop fire re-igniting. The shut off for a gas appliance is a normally closed ASCO gas solenoid and is also wired to the “Appliance Terminal”.

This is the Asco gas solenoid used for a gas cooktop. Model 8214G030 is for 3⁄4 inch gas supply piping.
