Oklahoma Hood Cleaning – Kitchen Exhaust Cleaners LLC involves the process of removing grease from a restaurant exhaust system. The restaurant hood is a vital component of the ventilation system, which keeps smoke, pollutants, and other harmful elements from being released into the kitchen area. A clean restaurant hood can help reduce fire hazards and create a safer working environment for the staff. However, if the hood is not cleaned frequently enough, it can accumulate grease deposits and cause a fire hazard.

The National Fire Protection Association Standard 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, defines cleaning requirements for restaurant hoods and other systems. According to this standard, the hood system should be professionally cleaned at least once every three months. The amount of grease deposited on the hood system depends on the volume and type of food being cooked. When grease is exposed to heat, it vaporizes and is drawn into the ductwork. This can cause a fire in the exhaust fan, or even the ductwork itself.

When the hood is cleaned, technicians begin by turning off the power supply to the exhaust system and disconnecting the wiring. They then detach the fans, remove the filters and grease traps from the ductwork, and dismantle the exhaust fan motor. They use appropriate chemicals to break down grease and other contaminants. They also use hot water to wash the hood, fans, and ductwork. The final step is to test the ductwork, fan, and filters for proper operation.
