Discover how to properly use industrial double stove to optimize performance and prolong lifespan device

In industrial kitchens – where fire, grease and high temperatures are constantly operating, the risk of fire and explosion is always a constant threat. According to statistics from the International Fire Protection Association (NFPA), up to 61% of fires in restaurants originate in the kitchen area, the main cause being grease catching fire or cooking equipment malfunctioning.

Just imagine: in just a few minutes, a small fire from a boiling oil pan can spread, causing great damage not only to property but also threatening the lives of employees and customers. Such an incident not only causes you economic loss but also destroys the reputation and trust built over many years of business.

So how to protect your industrial kitchen from these risks? The answer lies in equipping a professional fire suppression system that fully meets safety standards. In this article, Saigon Horeca will find out with you.

What is an industrial double Asian stove?

A double Asian stove is a specialized cooking equipment, especially popular in restaurants and hotels serving Asian dishes. With a design that includes 2 high-capacity burners, the double burner not only provides high performance but also integrates convenient features such as attached faucet for quick cleaning and strong flame blower to help the flame reach optimal concentration.

Outstanding features of the Asian double stove

• Large capacity: Meets the need for continuous and fast processing.
• Special design: Powerful combustion throat, comes with an effective cooling and grease treatment system.
• High durability: Using high quality stainless steel, anti-rust and easy to clean.

Applications of double Asian stoves

Double Asian stoves are used to prepare dishes that require strong, fast, and even flames such as:

• Stir-fry: Helps the dish stay crispy, fresh and delicious.
• Cooking soup and broth: The broth boils evenly, preserving all the flavor.
• Stew: A steady fire helps the stew to be tender and flavorful.

In restaurants and eateries serving Asian or Vietnamese dishes, a double Asian kitchen is a familiar image. However, not everyone clearly understands the operating and maintenance rules of this device. Mastering the operating principles of the double Asian stove will help you not only improve processing efficiency but also ensure durability and safety for machinery and equipment.

Instructions Instructions for using a double Asian stove properly

Operating a double stove not only requires meticulousness but also requires users to follow systematic procedures to ensure safety and improve cooking performance. Below are detailed instructions on the steps to take before, during and after using a double stove.

I. Before use

1. Check the gas and water system:
   • Gas pressure regulator and gas supply valve: Make sure the valves are working well, with no signs of damage or leaks.
   • Gas supply pipeline: Check the entire pipeline system to ensure it is tight and does not cause gas leaks, causing the risk of fire and explosion.
   • Water supply system: Make sure the water supply valves are tight, not leaking, and the water flow is stable to support cooling and cleaning of the stovetop.
2. Prepare before turning on the stove:
   • Open the gas supply valve at the gas tank and the dedicated pressure regulator (high pressure from 300–500mbar). This type of valve is often used for industrial kitchen equipment such as Asian stoves, stew stoves or rice cabinets.
   • Open the water supply valve to prepare the cooling system for the stove. This is a necessary factor to maintain the stove surface temperature throughout use.
   • Turn on the stove valve (Magnetor ignition) and check the flame. If the flame is weak, check the pressure at the pressure regulator valve or replace the gas tank when necessary.

II. During use

When the stove operates stably, you can start preparing food. However, the following points should be noted to ensure safety and effectiveness:

• Always keep the drain valve open continuously to cool the kitchen surface. This helps avoid the risk of the kitchen surface being too hot, protecting the chef from burns due to carelessness.
• Only place pots, pans or cooking utensils on the stove after turning on the heat. The large flames typical of Asian stoves can be dangerous if cookware is not placed properly.
• Use cooker valve to adjust the flame power to suit each dish. Note: Do not edit the burner or gas injector directly because these parts have been set to default.
• When you need to rinse the pan or clean quickly, you can use the water supply valve. After completing, remember to return the faucet to a safe position to avoid water splashing into the burner throat, affecting the life of the device.

III. After use

1. After cooking, carefully turn off the gas supply valve and water supply valve. This not only helps avoid gas loss but also prevents potential risks such as leaks or explosions.
2. Clean the entire kitchen, including the kitchen surface and drains. If you don’t have time to clean thoroughly, you should prioritize cleaning greasy areas to ensure the stove is always clean and ready for the next use.

Important notes when using a double stove

A double Asian stove is an indispensable equipment in restaurants and hotels specializing in serving Asian dishes. However, improper use of the stove can lead to potential safety risks and shorten the life of the appliance. Below are important notes that you need to understand to ensure that your Asian double stove always operates effectively and safely.

1. Do not arbitrarily repair the stove if there is a problem

One of the common mistakes is trying to repair the stove yourself when a problem occurs. Double gas stoves are industrial equipment, operating at high gas pressure and temperature, requiring the intervention of a professional technician if a failure occurs.

• Do-it-yourself repairs may make the problem more serious or endanger the user.
• In particular, the gas system and combustion throat are sensitive parts and need to be checked and maintained by experienced experts.

Advice: When you discover the stove is operating abnormally, stop using it immediately and contact a professional maintenance unit for support.

2. Place the stove in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable and explosive substances

Due to the characteristics of a double burner stove using a strong flame and a large amount of heat, the kitchen installation space needs to ensure the following safety factors:

• Ventilation: The kitchen area needs to have a good ventilation system to avoid the accumulation of gas or heat, especially in industrial kitchen environments with high operating frequency.
• Stay away from flammable substances: Absolutely do not place the stove near flammable substances such as oil, excess grease, chemicals or flammable materials. In addition, the stove should not be placed near areas containing a lot of papers, fabrics or substandard insulation materials.

Tips: Please ensure a safe distance between the stove and surrounding objects. If kitchen space is limited, you need to invest in a specialized smoke extraction and exhaust system to minimize risks.

3. Train employees to use the kitchen properly

A good device can only maximize its effectiveness when operated properly. In an industrial kitchen environment, training employees to use double burner stoves is an important factor to ensure safety and improve working efficiency.

• Understand the process: Employees need to be given detailed instructions on how to check the gas and water systems and how to operate the stove before starting to cook.
• Incident response: Training in basic skills to promptly recognize and handle dangerous situations such as gas leaks, explosions, or burner incidents.
• Personal safety: Employees need to follow safety principles, such as using heat-insulating gloves, avoiding direct contact with hot stove surfaces and always making sure to close the gas valve after use.

Advice: Organize periodic training sessions to help employees master skills and raise awareness of labor safety in the kitchen.
