Is this deep fryer CSA (Canadian Safety Association) approved (or the USA equivalent)? Also, is there a built in fire suppression system?

I am currently out of town and away from the fryer, so I can't answer your question. It could be UL approved, but I am not sure. We did make sure that each plug goes into a separate circuit--to prevent circuit breakers from turning the unit off. So far, we have been happy with this product.

ABSOLUTELY! In fact, last night I made dinner for family (8 people) and use the grill on the island in my kitchen making BBQ chicken. No smoke alarm issues, no problems and the chicken came out fantastic. There is a clip on the underside that attaches it to the leg and it pulls right off for easy cooking and subsequent cleaning!

Goodness NO! It's not "Smokeless"! There is no 'ventilation' of any kind provided with this grill. If you're going to cook anything that gives off a lot of smoke you most assuredly will need to use an exhaust hood or whatever keeps your smoke alarms from going off. That said ... I've never had an issue with alarms going off while cooking : burgers, steak, chicken, salmon, hot dogs, etc etc etc. I'd guess that you don't realize with this type of a grill, the grease runs off. Meaning the food doesn't sit in burning (and smoking) hot grease, the way it does in a pan.

I believe this is not under a recall, but another one started a $75,000 basement fire in my home. I will not be replacing my old unit with any other Gree product. Save yourself the time and your safety by staying away from these dehumidifier units.

Kitchen exhaust fans are made to withstand oil laden fumes, this fan is not. It could lead to a fire. Good question! Most people don't realize this. As a former Fire Chief I have seen this happen more than a few times.

I don't think this is NSF, UL or CSA approved. There no logos on their label attached to the oven, nor does it tell you the voltage or amps, no manufacturer listed. Their manual does not list a manufacturer nor any other consumer information you usually find in other manuals.

Just got the one we have so I don't know a lot about it . Read the anwser about the thermocoupling sounds about right. Do know I would not bypass this safety feature. It not worth your life. Hope you do well

I read the manual, and definitely NO!!! The danger is that the reduced air flow with two griddles installed may cause the burner to go out, but since gas is still being fed it may reignite and actually explode!!!!!

I am not sure if it is NSF approved, but it is a really good roaster. I operate a home based catering business andWe use this roaster a lot. It is a good size and it does a good job! To keep cleanup to a minimum, however, we use cooking bags when we use the roaster. These bags are also available on amazon. Do not cook over 350 degrees if using a cooking bag.

The Chef Alarm works great with sauces, just as long as you keep the tip off the bottom of the cooking vessel (it should be suspended in the middle of the mass). Also, you shouldn't be putting electronics in the dish washer (including the probe). ;)

We had ours for, maybe, six years before it quit recently. I found that we could limit the spontaneous cord detaching to two or three per batch of fries if we held our breath while in the vicinity of the unit. Otherwise, it wouldn't stay attached long enough to heat the oil sufficiently to cook. Perhaps that's the 'safety' part. This 'feature' will definitely weigh heavily when choosing a replacement. Otherwise, I loved this fryer!

I believe they are UL approved, but I cant find my paperwork that came with the detectors. I can tell you I have purchased 6 for my daughters house, 3 for my parents house and 3 for my house. They are very small and have the new requirements of lasting 10 years. First Alert is a reputable company I would check their web site. http://www.firstalert.com/component/flexicontent/item/1042-atom-smoke-alarm?option=com_flexicontent&view;=item&id;=1042:atom-smoke-alarm According to the web site YES they are UL approved.

It's my understanding that class B extinguishers put out grease fires. This model is an ABC which means it can also handle grease fires I believe

This safe is not fire rated. I've had one for a couple months now. Great size and features, but it's not a fire safe.

Not sure but you don't want to operate this thing anywhere close to your house or other structure especially if you are frying. The oil can splatter and catch fire.

It is safe to use, But with me living in a condo I have to bring the parts in to clean which makes it a pain in the butt. What you need to do is the tray below the burner should be wrapped in alumium, it protects the tray.Also make sure you keep an eye on the metal tin below the grill if it fills up it will spill over. But other then that I love the grill.

In the product brochure it says, "This appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code or for U.S.A. installations follow local codes and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO.70." I hope this means something to the person asking the question, because it doesn't mean much to me. However, I know the outlet our Duraflame Portable Heater is plugged into, is grounded.
