With so many years doing grease filter exchange for many different types of cooking concepts, one main point for the managers and cooks is that removing the filters from the hood is dangerous. They end up dropping the filters on grills or fryers. More than a few accidents have occurred. One of the worst cases we have experienced is a cook slipping while holding a filter in one hand and the other hand going into a hot fryer.

Manager: Hood cleaners would come to clean the hood system and they would also clean the filters. However, we would have to remove a filter from the hood system about a week after they had been there. We called the hood cleaning company and they admitted they could only make the filters look better by cleaning the outsides of the filters. Removing that one or two filters to improve the smoke caused a lot of issues with the fire marshal and the suppression system company. The fusible links were getting compacted with grease. When we started using FilterShine grease filter exchange, we saw immediate results on the cook lines. Cook line was noticeably cooler, smoke was going through each filter not just the gap that was made when we had to remove the filters. The suppression company did not complaint about the “fusible links” being completely clogged with grease.
