Why Should Marine Galley Hoods Be Cleaned?

A clean, grease-free Marine Galley Exhaust Hood system is a matter of safety and the law. Although The National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 96 requires regular cleaning of commercial kitchen exhaust systems it only makes good business sense to carry these standards to you Marine Vessel Galley Hood. Make sure your system is cleaned by a properly trained, qualified, and certified company or person. Cleaning must be done regularly, with the frequency determined by the type and volume of cooking. Schedule the cleaning when the Vessel comes in for USCG top side inspection for your vessel every 3 yrs. Cleaning your hood on a regular maintenance schedule prevents Galley grease fires.
