have been tested to provide fire protection for commercial cooking operations covering the hood,
ducts, plenum and appliances. Avenger kitchen fire suppression systems are a pre-engineered

Avenger Restaurant Fire Suppression System must be trained by Avenger Systems and hold a

properly and safely. The maintenance must be performed by a trained and certified Avenger
Systems Fire Suppression System distributor.
