Summary

The facility failed to ensure that cooking facilities were installed and protected in accordance with NFPA 96 standards. Observations revealed that a newly installed deep-fat fryer was placed within 16 inches of the surface flame of a new six-burner gas stove, without the required steel or tempered glass baffle plate of at least 8 inches in height between the fryer and the stove. Additionally, a shelf was found protruding over the stove top burners, which could obstruct the hood suppression system as per NFPA 96 requirements. The facility also did not provide approved methods to ensure that cooking appliances are returned to their approved design locations. Further, after the installation of the new gas stove and the addition of the deep-fat fryer, the facility did not have the kitchen Ansul fire extinguishing system re-evaluated as required by NFPA 96. These deficiencies were confirmed through interviews with the Maintenance Director and Regional Director at the time of observation. No information about specific residents or their conditions was provided in the report.
