class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The goal of the checklist is to help you clean your kitchen as thoroughly as possible<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, which means it<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;should cover as many areas as possible, to ensure that nothing is missed<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Area #1: Ranges<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ranges are where the frying, boiling, and saut\u00e9ing takes place. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">B<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ecause of all the spills and hot oil splashes, they tend to get quite dir<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ty after a busy day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">T<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">he high temperatures mean that&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ranges&nbsp;can also be dangerous \u2014 if they\u2019re not cl<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">eaned and maintained properly, that is.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To keep your ranges&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">safe and working properly<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, be sure to add the following routine to your&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">checklist<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Degrease and wipe the burners, the grates, and other surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean behind and under the range<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the valve knobs and ensure they work properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Area #2: Ovens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Just like&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ranges, ovens also tend to get quite contaminated over time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">T<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">he more you neglect them, the more difficult it&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;deep-clean them<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Be sure to&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">i<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">nclude<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;the following oven-cleaning steps in your checklist:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Degrease and wash the racks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Degrease and wipe the walls of the oven<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the heating elements and the fan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe down and lubricate the rubber seals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Area #3: Fryers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fryers can be found in a variety of commercial kitchens, from fast-food venues to high-end restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Compared to other appliances, poorly&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">maintained<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;fryers&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">affect the quality of the food prepared in them more directly and&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">noticeably<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is why<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;fryers demand extra attention \u2014 and a prominent spot in your restaurant maintenance checklist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To make sure that your customers never complain about their&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">French fries<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">include the following steps in your checklist:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dump and flush out the old oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thoroughly rinse and degrease the fry baskets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect whether combustion fans are working properly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Degrease and wipe down the fryer exterior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Area #4: Refrigeration Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Freezers,&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">refrigerated&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">drawers, free-standing and walk-in fridges<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;cold storage&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">rooms \u2014<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">all<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">of&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">these fall<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;under<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;the category of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;refrigeration&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">area<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since there is usually no food preparation taking place in such areas, keeping them clean is relatively simple.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;refrigeration areas section&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">on<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;your checklist should focus more on maintenance and ensuring that all&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">of&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">these areas are doing their job of keeping food cold.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">More specifically, the steps to include in your checklist are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adjust the thermostats to the appropriate temperature levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean and lubricate seals and gaskets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that the door hinges and rails work well<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check wiring installations and connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove excessive ice or moisture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discard expired food items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Area #5: Food Preparation Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keeping all the kitchen appliances clean and functional should be an important part of your kitchen cleaning routine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, that doesn\u2019t mean that you should neglect the more mundane areas \u2014 floors, countertops, shelves, tables and other areas where food preparation takes place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Be sure to give th<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ese<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> areas the attention they deserve by including these procedures in your checklist:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dust, vacuum, and mop the floors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash or vacuum rugs and mats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe and disinfect countertops and tabletops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash and disinfect all of your utensils<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Area #6: Washing Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The final section to include in your checklist are the areas where the washing takes place \u2014 namely, the sinks and the dishwashers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The idea of cleaning t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">hese areas m<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ight seem counterintuitive<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After all, their sole purpose is&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to wash and clean<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, when it comes to commercial kitchens, there is no such thing as too clean \u2014 and washing areas can be deceptive in this sense.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To ensure&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">that your sinks and dishwashers remain as clean as the rest of the appliances and surfaces<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;in your kitchen<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, add the following steps to&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">your<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> checklist:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure that the drains and drainpipes are clean and flush them if necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the faucets from limestone and other deposits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect and clean the dishwasher filter and drainage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash and dry the dish racks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When creating a maintenance checklist, one of your main goals should be for it to be easily accessible&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">by all members of the kitchen staff.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And because of that, using a physical format such as\u00a0a paper form is hardly the best solution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Paper forms can get lost and tend to wear out&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">over time \u2014 and all the smoke, steam and spilled<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;liquids that are so common in busy kitchens only shorten their lifespan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another big drawback of paper&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">forms<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;is simply&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">how unhygienic the<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">y<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">can get while changing hands, surfaces, and spaces<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, which is unacceptable in a commercial kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That is why a mobile form platform is a superior solution for creating a kitchen maintenance checklist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mobile forms are completely virtual and cloud-based \u2014 which means that you&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">won\u2019t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> have to invest in printing paper and worry about wear<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, tear,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> or hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mobile forms are widely used to create checklists, invoices, and other forms by companies across a variety of industries \u2014 from\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"\/post-construction-cleaning-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">construction<\/span><\/a><span

data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Additionally<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, the cloud-based nature of mobile forms means that they can be easily shared within your organization and edited on the go \u2014 all you need to access and edit a mobile form is your&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
