A hood filter is specially fitted to the opening of your specific exhaust system and creates a barrier between cooking vapors and exhaust hood ducts. If a filter was not present, then all of the vapors would flow directly into the exhaust system, depositing grease residue inside. This causes a very high risk of fire, as grease residue is very flammable.
Cleaning your hood filters on a daily basis should be a part of every commercial kitchen's cleaning routine. This not only maximizes the filters capabilities to clean the air, but also prevents grease build up. If a filter is already dirty, it restricts air flow into the ventilation system, and as a result the surrounding air will become full of unpleasant odors, smoke, and vapor. A convenient way to clean your filters is in the dishwasher. However, Miami Hood Cleaning does not recommend cleaning your filters using this method if you have a filter that is made from aluminum or galvanized metal, as this may result in damage.
If putting them in a dishwasher is not possible, hand washing is a great alternative. It may not be the most enjoyable experience, but we assure you, this option is much better than getting a fine from the board of health or having to call the fire department to extinguish a fire in your kitchen!
Restaurant Hood Filter Replacement
There are some tell tale signs that a hood filter may need replacement. Your hood filter should be inspected daily with each
hood cleaning. If it has visible dents, is corroded, or has holes it needs immediate replacement. If it makes noises while the fan vent is turned on, that is also a sign that it is not fitting properly into its encasement, possibly due to filter damage. If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is time to call a professional hood filter service company.
