Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial kitchen equipment be serviced?
Preventive maintenance frequency depends on the equipment and usage volume. As a general guideline: fryers and ovens should be inspected every 3-6 months; refrigeration equipment annually or semi-annually; ice machines every 6 months (including cleaning and sanitizing); exhaust hoods quarterly to semi-annually per NFPA 96; and dishwashers quarterly. High-volume operations benefit from more frequent service intervals.
What should I do if my walk-in is failing and I need to protect food?
1) Call an emergency refrigeration technician immediately. 2) Take and document temperature readings. 3) Move the most temperature-sensitive items (proteins, dairy) to alternate refrigeration first. 4) Contact your health department if temperatures approach 40°F+ — they can advise on food safety decisions. 5) Document all food temps for insurance claims. 6) Consider dry ice or portable refrigeration units for critical inventory. 7) Alert your supplier you may need emergency replacement products.
Why does my fryer keep tripping the hi-limit switch?
The hi-limit switch is a safety device that cuts power when fryer temperature exceeds safe limits. Common causes: faulty thermostat allowing oil to overheat, failing hi-limit switch itself, improper temperature settings, low oil level exposing heating elements, or carbon buildup insulating heating elements. Never bypass the hi-limit switch — it prevents fires. Call a technician to diagnose the root cause.
