Teppanyaki fire requirements: fuel, gas shut-off and project planning
Opening a teppanyaki restaurant or adding a counter? Review fuel restrictions, secure installation and gas or electrical documentation before coordinating the fire works.
Quick answers
Can bottled LPG supply a teppanyaki counter?
The specific teppanyaki requirements prohibit bottled LPG in the designated area. Have the proposed supply checked against the document during design.
Legal information
Requirements vary by premises. Confirm the work with the responsible professional using the premises use, approved plans, licence conditions and any written directions.
Confirm the fuel before ordering the counter
FSD's teppanyaki requirements exclude liquid fuel and bottled LPG in the designated area. They allow electricity, centralized LPG or town gas, with automatic gas shut-off where piped gas is used.
Ask the equipment supplier for the model, energy requirements and installation drawing with the quotation. Have site conditions checked before fabrication so supply and control issues can be resolved while changes are still practical.
Define installation, supply and testing responsibilities
The cooking unit must be secured. Electrical, town-gas and piped-LPG systems each have installation and documentation requirements. Appoint appropriately qualified people for the fire, gas and electrical work, and agree which documents each will provide.
List who handles gas shut-off controls, fire signals, extraction and related equipment, and allow time for joint testing. Before placing orders, agree who will test each part, resolve problems and provide the required documents.
Review seating and maintenance access together
Teppanyaki customers sit close to cooking equipment. Put the actual appliance dimensions, seating, staff routes and maintenance access on the same drawing so the contractors can check positions and space before work starts.
When taking over a restaurant or adding another counter, review the altered area again. Keep the previous records for comparison and ask the team to identify drawings, tests and certificates that need updating.
Practical checklist
- Cooking-unit model and energy needs
- Fuel supply and automatic shut-off proposal
- Seating, staff routes and service access
- Fire, ventilation, electrical and gas responsibilities
- Joint-testing and document handover dates
