Your commercial food equipment is built to last - but only if you treat it right!

Our service team has worked with hundreds of ovens, mixers, sheeters, dishwashers and more - here are their top tips to extend your kitchen equipment lifespan:

☑ Stick to a routine cleaning schedule 

Daily and weekly cleaning prevents grease, crumbs, and debris from building up inside your food equipment. This keeps everything running efficiently and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

☑ Never ignore small performance changes

If your oven’s taking longer to heat, your fridge feels warmer, or you hear unusual noises - don’t brush it off. Catching and fixing minor problems early can save you from a costly emergency repair later.

☑ Train staff on proper usage and cleaning

Your food equipment is only as good as the people using it. Make sure your team knows how to operate each machine correctly and clean it thoroughly to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

☑ Replace worn parts promptly

A worn gasket, filter, or seal might seem minor, but it can lead to bigger damage if ignored. Replacing parts as soon as they show wear keeps your food service equipment in top shape and extends its lifespan.

☑ Book professional servicing at least twice a year

Preventive care means fewer breakdowns, lower running costs, and longer-lasting commercial kitchen machinery and appliances - protecting your bottom line.

These simple practices reduce breakdowns, keep your kitchen running at full steam, and get you the best return on your commercial kitchen equipment investment.
