One of the most important things when managing a kitchen is regular maintenance checks for your commercial restaurant equipment. Regular checks help to ensure a longer life span of equipment and securing their ability to run smoothly. Within this blog post we will go over some great tips on how to maintain your commercial restaurant equipment.
- Cleaning burners, grates or flat tops is important to do daily.
- Make sure drip trays and areas underneath burners or grates are cleaned weekly or biweekly.
- Checking and cleaning the grease filters on overhead exhaust units monthly can help airflow and lower build up of grease.
- Inspecting and calibrating thermostat if necessary, helps to save energy and is important to check monthly.
