Maintenance Tips
Tip #1: Conduct Routine Cleanings and Inspections
One of the best ways to ensure that your commercial kitchen equipment operates efficiently and properly is to routinely clean and inspect each piece. Many restaurant owners find that it is helpful to establish a maintenance log to keep track of their cleanings and inspections. When inspecting your equipment, be sure to check all essential parts, electrical and manual. Features like burner knobs, power buttons, and swing arms endure a lot of use and should be inspected for excessive wear and tear. A quick check of the electrical components will ensure the wiring is properly connected and free of corrosion.
Tip #2: Address Concerns Promptly
Routinely cleaning and inspecting your equipment allows you the advantage of discovering any potential problems early. This can help prevent untimely breakdown or failure of equipment. If you find any maintenance concerns as you are cleaning or inspecting your kitchen equipment, be sure that any operational problems are addressed promptly. Not only is this necessary for the safety of your kitchen staff, but taking care of minor repairs as they arise can save you in costly restaurant equipment repair down the road.
Tip #3: Have a Professional in Your Back Pocket
In addition to performing regular inspections and frequently cleaning your commercial food equipment, it can be very beneficial to have a professional on call for those emergency situations that inevitably arise. If you recently purchased your kitchen equipment new from a reputable manufacturer, it is likely that there is some kind of warranty that can cover unexpected problems with the equipment’s parts or operation. Otherwise, having a reliable commercial kitchen equipment repair firm on speed dial could be a lifesaver when you need it most.
