Appliance Coverage
Table 4 illustrates the maximum permitted cooking surface dimensions of each appliance that can be
protected within a single overlapping zone. It is important to note that the cooking surface (area requiring
protection) is different than the total appliance size.
Hazard
Fryer, maximum
(with or w/o Drip-board)
Fryer, minimum
(with or w/o Drip-board)
Tilt Skillet
Griddle
Range w/o Shelf/Obstruction
Gas/Electric Radiant
Char-broiler

Wok, maximum
Wok, minimum
Notes:
1. All dimensions shown are based on overlapping protection.
2. All dimensions and areas shown reference the cooking surface of the appliance, which is typically
smaller than the outside dimensions of the appliance itself.
3. For multi-vat fryers, no single fryer module (vat & drip board) can exceed the above limitations.
4. Rear edge of Lava/Pumice/Synthetic Rock Char-broiler cooking surface must be a minimum of 3" from
the back of hazard zone with the longest side of the appliance running left-to-right within the protected
zone.
5. Protection for tilt skillets and braising pans are to be based on the coverage parameters provided for
fryer protection. Tilt skillets should be placed at the back of the hazard zone. Tilt skillet coverage must
not interfere with the edge of the nozzle discharge pattern.
6. All appliance hazard surfaces must be located within the hazard zone.
7. Smaller appliances can be positioned anywhere in the zone (e.g., moved left, right, forward, or
backward, provided the cooking hazard does not extend beyond the perimeter of the zone).
8. When the depth of the appliance exceeds maximum cooking hazard dimensions, a second row of
nozzle coverage should be added.
Figure 23 illustrates the placement of nozzles for EWC overlapping protection.
