  • Page 26: Fire Extinguishing System

    Fire Extinguishing System (EXTINCISE) The Fire Extinguishing System (EXTINCISE) is a pre-engineer- ing system that is designed and built under the standard “UNE 23510:2017 Fire extinguishing systems in commercial kitchens. Design and test requirements”. Its extinguishing characteristics make it perfect for type F/K l fires (resulting from the use of vegetable or animal oils and fats with cooking appliances).

  • Page 28 Description of the Fire Extinguishing System The iQ 640 FES CARROUSEL Fire Extinguishing System is basically composed of: - Extinguishing Container. The extinguishing container consists of the cylinder, extinguishing agent (CLASS F), the pneumatically actuated valve and the pressure gauge.

  • Page 30 The iQ 640 FES CARROUSEL incorporated system is both automatic and manual, and its purpose is to extinguish fat and/or oil fires produced in risk areas. In automatic mode the system detects fire through the detection tube and automatically discharges the extinguishing agent through the diffuser.
  • Page 31 System validation - Valve opening In the initial start-up phase of the equipment, a certified fire extinguishing system installer shall activate the system. To activate it, the valve of the extinguisher must be opened, certifying with a seal the correct operation of the extinguisher. Close Open When the machine is installed, the following steps must be followed to...
  • Page 32 Important This certified activation is essential for the Fire Extinguishing System to function correctly and for the System’s warranty to be valid for all purposes. Any tampering with the System by an unauthorised agent will invalidate the warranty and leave the System susceptible to malfunction.
  • Page 33 How the system operates 1. The flames start in a dangerous area. 2. The detection tube depressurises and activates the pneumatic container valve when it comes into contact with flames or heat and its minimum detection temperature is reached. 3. The fire extinguishing agent, contained inside the cylinder, will discharge on the critical areas where the diffuser is placed (duct inlet).
  • Page 34 This causes the automatic discharge of the extinguishing agent in the areas to be protected in the kitchen of your QUALITYFRY equipment. Q U A L I T Y F R Y...
  • Page 35 Manual Mode Activate the manual system ONLY in the event of fire and failure of the automatic system. If the system needs to be activated manually, proceed as follows: Remove the Press the manual safety pin activation button.
  • Page 36 NOTE: In case of fire, we recommend cutting off the power supply to the line dedicated to the machine. Be sure to perform cleaning as recommended by QualityFry in the User Manual. If there is hot grease on the surfaces to be cleaned, do not use water.

  • Page 37: What To Do In Case Of Fire

    What to do in case of fire All QualityFry equipment is safe and constructed with a double layer of stainless steel (AISI 304 L) which insulates the high temperatures inside and provides absolute protection for the operator and his/her environment.
  • Page 38 2. If the iQ 640 FES CARROUSEL Fire Extinguishing System has not been activated automatically, activate the system manually using the manual activation device, provided this does not pose a risk to people. The steps to follow would be: - Remove the yellow safety seal by pulling it and press the red button firmly to activate the extinguishing system.
  • Page 39 What to do after a fire Cleaning Procedure Before cleaning, all fuel supplies to the cooking appliances must be shut off. Ensure that ventilation systems and electrical devices are switched off. Electric shocks caused by the application of the cleaning agent or electric shocks caused by the conductive contents of the wet chemical agent may occur.
  • Page 40 The extinguishing agent is not a toxic material. However, in case of contact with food, it must be thrown away. The steps described below should be applied to cleaning processes: 1. To clean the diffuser, use a household or mildly aggressive degreasing agent, which does not contain caustic soda or potash.
  • Page 41 What to do before using your equipment after a fire 1. Call your supplier to inform them that the system has been tripped and inform them in detail of the reason for the discharge (manual or automatic activation), in order to provide data for the replacement of an element and subsequent activation of the system.
  • Page 42 User responsibility Users must establish and follow a periodic system maintenance plan (See procedure on page 80) to: - Ensure the reliability and proper functioning of the system. - Prevent serious damage. - Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer or authorised distributor.
  • Page 43 General recommendations 1. It is very important to keep clean all areas where grease is likely to accumulate from cooking equipment (filters, tank, duct, etc.). Use only recommended cleaning products (a household or mildly aggressive degreasing agent, which does not contain caustic soda or potash) that ensure effective cleaning of grease accumulated in your filters and ducts.
  • Page 44 leakage has occurred, by checking that the pressure gauges of the container and of the end of the line are equal and that there is no difference with the values observed before this operation. A faulty fire detection line and damaged or loose connections may cause the system to discharge incorrectly or not function in the event of a fire.
  • Page 45 8. Do not change or modify the components of the Fire Extinguishing System (cylinder, manual push button, detection and discharge line). 9. Do not hire personnel not authorised by QUALITYFRY to maintain, refill or repair the Fire Extinguishing System. 10. Remember to inform all staff of ignition hazards in the kitchen (hot surfaces, flames, accumulated grease).
