Flame Sensors

A flame sensor plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of griddles by detecting the presence of a flame and automatically shutting off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes. This preventive measure is essential to mitigate the risk of gas leaks and potential fires while maintaining the safe operation of the griddle. Typically constructed from durable materials like metal or ceramic that can withstand high temperatures, flame sensors are designed to endure the heat generated during griddle use. Flame sensor replacements may eventually lose their effectiveness due to damage or wear and tear. Timely replacement is imperative to avoid potential safety hazards. It is essential to choose flame sensors that are compatible with the specific griddle model and crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability in operation. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of faulty flame sensors contribute significantly to the overall safety of griddle usage.
