“Hoods, grease removal devices (filters), fans, ducts, and other appurtenances shall be cleaned to remove combustible contaminants prior to surfaces becoming heavily contaminated with grease or oily sludge.”
“Heavily contaminated” is defined as grease buildup greater than 0.078 inches (5/64”). Staying under this threshold is critical for fire prevention and compliance with health and safety regulations.
