  1. When To Schedule Exhaust Hood Cleaning and Maintenance

    A quality exhaust hood system is the back bone to any properly running kitchen. The primary role of the system is to keep the air clean and the appliances grease / contaminant free. When the system is running efficiently it not only keeps the air and appliances grease and contaminant free, but it increases employee safety while decreasing the likelihood of a kitchen fire. A system with such importance needs to be properly maintained, otherwise you risk accidents or faulty appliances that can lead to kitchen downtime. 

    The length of time between scheduled maintenance depends on the type of restaurant kitchen you are running. Firstly, how often is the kitchen being used? If you are running a 24-hour diner you are running kitchen equipment almost constantly and will require more regular maintenance and cleanings than say a child summer camp which runs the kitchen a few times a day during the summer months. The busier the kitchen is, the more food is being cooked and the more the exhaust hood system needs to work to exhaust all the grease and contaminants that are being released.
