Smart Maintenance Tips from Smart Care

The team at Smart Care knows that efficient equipment is equipment that’s well maintained. Every piece of equipment — from the simplest to the most sophisticated — needs regular maintenance to keep it running at peak performance because downtime can mean lost revenue. To help your operation run more smoothly, Smart Care experts offer a few quick maintenance reminders:

Refrigeration:

Check and clean air filters regularly to ensure proper ventilation. Check door gaskets for any cracks or tears and replace when needed. Clean drain pans and tubes and remove any sludge that may build up on them.

Fryers:

Clean combustion fans at least monthly. Inspect for gas leaks every four to six weeks and boil out the fryer weekly.

Griddles, Grills, Ranges:

Clean grates, flattops, grease traps and burners after every use; follow up with regular monthly deep cleaning. Remove and check grease filters and replace when buildup cannot be removed.
