Cooking appliances designed, tested, listed and labeled for use in commercial can be installed in domestic cooking.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Depends on labeling

Answer: (B)

Listings and labeling show where an appliance can be used and how it must be installed. When a cooking appliance is designed, tested, listed, and labeled for commercial use, that labeling indicates it is intended for a commercial kitchen with the corresponding ventilation, electrical, gas, and fire protection requirements. Installing such an appliance in a domestic kitchen would typically violate the listing and the related codes and standards, because residential spaces normally require appliances labeled for household use and compliant with domestic electrical, gas, ventilation, and clearance requirements. Unless the appliance is explicitly labeled for residential use, it should not be installed in a home.
