Keep grease under control
Clean filters regularly, keep hoods and ducts on a cleaning schedule, and never operate cooking equipment under a hood with missing filters.
Keep suppression systems serviced
Hood fire suppression systems are serviced by licensed fire protection companies on their own schedule. Coordinate cleaning and suppression service so both stay current.
Daily habits
Simple habits help.
- Empty grease cups and troughs
- Keep the area under the hood clear of storage
- Know how to activate the manual suppression pull
- Keep the correct portable extinguisher nearby
- Train staff on fryer safety
