CHAR GRILL GAS CONTROL

Controls of all kinds are integral parts of restaurant equipment operation. A control is a switch or other device by which a machine is regulated. A control may be manual or automatically operated. An electro-mechanical control typically consists of multiple relays, timers, and/or counters wired together on an enclosure panel. Electro-mechanical control is also referred to simply as "Relay Control", which is a more accurate term since solid state electronic relays, timers, and counters are standard components. Contactors, motor and compressor starters, valves, thermostats, and other output devices are used to turn on/off motors, indicator lights, heating elements, and other components used in the equipment.

A grill is a perforated cover for an air duct (used for heating, cooling, or ventilation, or a combination thereof). Grills sometimes have louvers which allow the flow of air to be directed.

A grill may also be a device that cooks food by applying heat from below. There are several varieties of grills, with most falling into one of three categories: gas-fueled, charcoal, or electric.

In frying, a grill may refer to a metallic filtering device used to remove food debris from the cooking oil.
