Movable cooking equipment shall be provided with a means to ensure that it is ___________ in relation to the appliance discharge nozzle during cooking operations.

• A. Correctly positioned
• B. Remote operated
• C. Properly secured
• D. Flush with hood

Answer: (A)

Movable cooking equipment must be kept out of the way of the appliance discharge nozzle so the fire suppression system can deliver extinguishing agent where it’s needed. The key idea is ensuring the equipment’s position relative to the nozzle remains correct during cooking so the nozzle has an unobstructed spray path. If the equipment isn’t correctly positioned, it can block or deflect the discharge, reducing the effectiveness of suppression. That’s why providing a means to keep the equipment in the proper position is required. The other options don’t fit because remote operation doesn’t address nozzle clearance, flushing with the hood isn’t about nozzle reach, and simply securing the equipment doesn’t guarantee it stays in the correct spatial relationship to the nozzle during operation.
