Is your exhaust fan drawing efficiently?

In commercial kitchens, your exhaust fan is an essential part of your exhaust system. It removes hot air and odors from your kitchen, plus it safely eliminates vaporized grease, which is a natural byproduct of cooking. If your exhaust fan isn’t cleaned regularly and in proper working condition at all times, it won’t draw properly, so it won’t be able to do its job well. As a result, grease will quickly built up in your commercial kitchen’s exhaust system and your risk of a flash fire within your exhaust ducts will increase dramatically. A flash fire could result in injuries to your staff, serious damage to your kitchen, and a huge interruption to the flow of your business. Avoid flash fires by always making sure your exhaust fan is able to draw properly.

But how?

If you manage or otherwise work in a commercial kitchen, your mind is always running a thousand miles a minute. There are always so many important tasks that need to be handled right away.
