Hood Cleaning & Fire Extinguisher Inspection
Why can’t my employees clean the hoods?
NFPA 96 states that “the entire exhaust system shall be cleaned by a properly trained, qualified and certified company or persons.” Work of this nature takes special tools, equipment and expertise to properly and thoroughly clean.
Why is cleaning the entire system important?
Hoods and fire protection systems have the most legal requirements of any equipment in the kitchen. Typically, the health department is concerned about sanitation, the fire and building departments are worried about fire hazards, and an environmental agency is often worried about the smoke emissions pouring from the ducts. Most cooking facility fires originate in the cooking area, which can quickly spread into the exhaust system, and onto the roof. Keeping a grease-free and fire safe system can protect you from this hazard.
What do you clean?
HOODS HAWAII will take care of what you see in the kitchen, but most importantly what you do not see from the roof down. We clean the entire system starting from the exhaust housing and motor, including: fan maintenance, grease bearings, and adjusting or replacing belts to ensure the motor is operating properly. Then we go down the flue into the plenum area cleaning the system to bare metal per NFPA 96 standards. Finally we clean the linkage for the fire suppression system, clean the filters, grease gutters, and polish the hood inside and out. The entire system is cleaned using several methods: steam cleaner, power washer, spin jets, and chemical application. We also clean the grease containment system, along with offering a variety of additional services. In the end, we complete a full report, along with taking before and after pictures, as part of the HOODS HAWAII Picture Verification System.
