The Southbend 1195448 Convection Oven Flame Sensor 90° detects the presence of a burner flame and communicates with the oven’s control system to confirm proper ignition. It works by sensing heat or flame current and signaling the system to continue or shut off gas flow if no flame is detected, helping prevent unsafe conditions. Installed at a 90-degree angle for proper positioning, it supports accurate monitoring and reliable performance. Its use improves safety, maintains consistent heating, and reduces potential equipment downtime in commercial kitchen environments.
