Key Aspects of MFS Hood Cleaning Standards
Certification
MFS advocates for professional hood cleaning services that are certified, particularly to NFPA 96 standards.
Professional Standards
MFS emphasizes the importance of using qualified professional professionals who are knowledgeable in the proper techniques and safety precautions.
Cleaning frequency
- Solid fuel cooking requires monthly cleaning due to the rapid buildup of soot and grease.
- High volume cooking (greasy foods) may require monthly cleaning.
- Moderate volume cooking may require quarterly cleaning.
- Low volume cooking can be cleaned, quarterly, or less frequently, but regular monitoring is essential.
NFPA 96 compliance
MFS aligns with NFPA 96 requirements, which mandate cleaning by certified professionals and addresses various aspects of kitchen exhaust systems.
Importance of regular cleaning
MFS highlights that regular cleaning is crucial to prevent grease buildup, which can lead to fires and other hazards.
Additional considerations
MFS also suggest considering factors like cooking volume, the type of food prepared, and local health standard when determining cleaning frequency.
