Robertshaw FS Flame Switches and FM Automatic Safety Valves (installed in commercial cooking appliances)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Robertshaw Controls Co. is recalling FS Flame Switches and FM Automatic Safety Valves installed in commercial cooking appliances from brands including Keating, PMI Food Equipment Group, Vulcan, Southbend, Blodgett, Toastmaster, Wolf Range, and Bari. These controls are designed to shut off gas flow when the pilot light goes out, but the recalled units can fail to shut off, allowing gas to continue flowing to the main burner and creating a risk of gas explosion and fire in ranges, pasta cookers, deep fat fryers, and griddles that use natural or liquid propane gas.
Consumers who believe they have recalled controls should contact Robertshaw Controls Co., which will provide free replacement if necessary. If gas odor is detected near the appliance or in the building, consumers should immediately leave the area and call their gas company or a certified gas technician. Model and serial numbers can be found on the appliance identification plate, and a complete list of affected appliances is available at www.robertshaw.com.
