Grease in kitchen exhaust ducts is a major cause of restaurant and commercial cooking facility fires. Insurance companies recognize this and demand that grease flues be cleaned on a regular basis. Fires originate in food cooking operations for a number of reasons including:

?

• Grease and debris accumulates in exhaust systems

• Commercial exhaust fans become overladen with grease & debris

• Stoves, broilers, grills and fryers accumulate food and grease deposits

• Dishwasher ducts collect dust, grease and lint.
