Hood canopy and plenum
Grease deposits are removed from the visible hood canopy and the plenum behind the filters.
Cleaning scope
What commercial vent hood cleaning includes
The hood is one part of a connected exhaust path. The normal cleaning scope addresses the visible hood and the accessible components that move grease-laden exhaust out of the building.
Filters
The filters are included as part of the normal commercial cleaning scope.
Accessible grease duct
Reachable grease-duct sections are cleaned based on the access available at the system.
Exhaust fan
The rooftop or exterior exhaust fan is included in the normal commercial cleaning scope.
Full accessible path
Cleaning should extend beyond the visible canopy
Grease can collect in the plenum, grease duct, and exhaust fan, not only on the stainless steel above the cooking line. Access conditions affect what can be reached, so the exact scope should be established from the system layout and available openings.
If the fan is noisy, will not start, vibrates, or the system has another mechanical problem, use the Dallas-Fort Worth vent hood repair page instead.
