Filters are one of the most frequent points of failure in an kitchen’s extraction system. They need to be cleaned frequently or, when they are near their end of life, replaced with new ones. The gerenal rule is that, the busier the kitchen is, the quicker the accumulation of grease. This accumulation causes several serious issues, such as:
Fire safety. Grease is flammable. A fire that starts from your filters can reach the whole extraction system with devastating results. Fire safety is a legal requirement and most insurers won’t cover you if your filters are not cleaned at regular intervals.
Longevity of your extraction system. All parts of your extraction system cooperate, the
fan, the ducting, the canopy and the filters all work together to extract the fumes from
Your kitchen.
When one of these is not operating at its best, all the rest are affected -negatively.
Contamination. A clean filter means less chances of bacteria, mould and other harmful
organisms gathering near the food preparation area.
All our commercial kitchen canopy filter cleans/replacement comes with a ventilation extract report.
