According to Article 6 of the Cantonal Law, equipment owners are required to take all necessary measures to ensure the proper functioning and maintenance of their installations. Thorough maintenance of kitchen hood ducts is essential to:
- Safeguard Food Quality: Preventing contamination from residues that accumulate in the ducts.
- Maintain a Comfortable Environment: Keeping cooking odors from spreading to the dining area and clinging to customers’ clothes.
- Ensure Safety: Reducing the fire risk posed by flammable grease buildup in the ducts.
Moreover, authorities such as the Cantonal Laboratory conduct regular inspections to verify kitchen hygiene. Proper cleaning of hood ducts contributes to overall kitchen hygiene, indispensable for passing health inspections.
Relying on professionals for kitchen hood and duct maintenance is essential for complying with current regulations and ensuring a healthy, safe environment for both staff and customers.
