PRODUCT: Thermal Safety Control Valve - Invensys Climate Controls - OEM
Products Group, of Long Beach Calif., a division of Invensys Control
Systems, is recalling 18,200 TS11 Thermal Safety Control Valves, which
are installed in commercial ovens, ranges, and warmer trays by OEM
manufacturers and service organizations. The affected units were
manufactured between June 2001 and August 2001 and have production dates
beginning with codes 0124 through and including 0131. The date codes are
marked on the backside of the upper housing, below the red button.

in a circular pattern when rapped, causing an external leak. The leaking
gas may cause a fire.
