Purchasing a pizza oven for your commercial kitchen is one of the most expensive items in your kitchen. Because of the cost involved in pizza ovens, this is one commercial kitchen item that requires regular maintenance and cleaning, ensuring optimal performance at all times. Maintaining your pizza oven will ensure the quality of your pizza, and the safety of your employees as well as reduce the fire risk in your commercial kitchen.

Dirty ovens tend to cook unevenly whereas a clean oven runs much smoother. Solid fuel burners must clean their exhaust systems regularly or risk a fire hazard.

But what is considered a solid burning fuel oven?

“Solid Fuel Burning Oven” means a chimney-connected device that burns solid fuel designed for the purposes of cooking. When a solid burning fuel unit is used, it deposits what is referred to as creosote into the system or flue. The main issue with creosote is that it’s extremely flammable. As the amount of creosote inside the chimney flue increases so does your risk of a fire in your commercial kitchen. This can pose a huge fire risk. By not having the creosote removed, you will not only run the risk of a fire but also endangering your employees.

When it comes to the effective management and removal of creosote in your kitchen’s solid fuel system, there is just one solution. That solution is regular and professional cleaning by ECS Deep Clean Industries.

How often should you clean your pizza oven?

With proper cleaning, restaurant owners can provide their patrons with the unique flavours of solid fuel cooking, without the dangers associated with unmaintained creosote build-ups. Not only does it need to be cleaned to reduce fire risks, but your commercial kitchen’s pizza oven needs to be cleaned to avoid any unwanted smells, textures, or flavours.

The prescribed frequency of cleaning your pizza oven is at a maximum of every 4 months according to the SANS regulations. Having an effective cleaning plan in place has never been easier than with ECS Deep Clean Industries.
