How often should Denver Metro restaurants clean their exhaust hoods?+
Per NFPA 96 Table 11.4, cleaning frequency depends on cooking volume: high-volume kitchens (fast food, wok cooking, 24-hour operations) require cleaning every 1–3 months; moderate-volume restaurants every 6 months; and low-volume or seasonal kitchens annually. Denver Fire Department and surrounding AHJs enforce these intervals strictly.
