Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Kitchen operators in New York City are mandated by NFPA-96 Standard to have their kitchen hoods cleaned regularly. Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning is the best way to keep your kitchen appliances running smoothly. Complete exhaust hood cleaning is from cooktop top down the bottom. This process is critical in maintaining a safe, fully operational kitchen. This is because grease can easily ignite in whatever state- solid, liquid or vapor form.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there are over 11,000 fires which occur annually in restaurants and kitchens, resulting in multimillion-dollar damages. To prevent such unfortunate events, routine kitchen exhaust hood cleaning is important.

Some of the findings of the NFPA are as follows:

• Almost half of all fires in the United States start in the kitchen. Certain types of cooking equipment caused two of every five fires. Second, in the ranking is deep fat fryers which result in dollar loss.

• The other cause of restaurant fires are stoves, ovens fired grills and grease hood or ductwork.

• Majority of kitchen fires began on a cook line beneath an exhaust canopy hood equipped with a kind of automatic fire suppression system.
