The primary reason to clean your Commercial Kitchen Canopy and Exhaust is to prevent a kitchen fire. However, fire is just one reason to clean your system. Here are 5 more reasons:
1) Compliance – If you are found not to be compliant with AS 1852 you will be fined
2) Unpleasant odours – A grease-ridden exhaust and duct system can result in mould and bacteria growth. Mould and bacteria growth can produce an unpleasant odour.
3) Pests – Grease and mould can be a source for pests including rats and mice.
4) Health Hazard – Grease, bacteria, and mould around food preparation is a health hazard and can cause sickness.
5) Increased Equipment Efficiency – Removing grease from the canopy, fans and ducts ensures the longevity of the kitchen equipment and reduces the likelihood of sudden breakdowns. It helps to keep the kitchen running smoothly and efficiently.
