Frequently Asked Questions
What does an NFPA 96 compliant hood cleaning include?
A compliant hood cleaning includes: complete degreasing of the hood canopy, all grease filters, the entire ductwork system from hood to exhaust fan discharge, and the exhaust fan and housing. Areas that cannot be thoroughly cleaned must be documented. Cleaning must be performed by a qualified company and documented with service report and before/after photos. The technician should leave a dated sticker on the equipment and provide a compliance certificate.
What are the critical food safety temperatures for kitchen equipment?
Critical food safety temperatures: Cold holding — 40°F (4°C) or below for refrigeration; freezer 0°F (-18°C) or below. Hot holding — 140°F (60°C) or above for steam tables and food warmers. Cooking temperatures vary by food type (145°F-165°F). Dishwasher final rinse — 180°F (82°C) for high-temp machines. Any equipment consistently failing to maintain these temperatures is both a safety risk and a health code violation.
What should I do if I smell gas in my commercial kitchen?
1) Do NOT operate any electrical switches, phones inside, or create any sparks. 2) Evacuate all staff and customers immediately. 3) Call 911 from outside the building. 4) Call your gas company's emergency line. 5) Do NOT re-enter until emergency responders clear the building. 6) Contact a certified kitchen equipment technician to inspect and repair gas connections before reopening. Gas leaks can cause explosions — always take them seriously.
