How to choose commercial kitchen equipment correctly

1. There should be sinks, faucets, gas stoves, range hoods, dishwashers, trash cans, seasoning cabinets, and other equipment near kitchen utensils. You can choose to purchase them yourself or hire professional kitchen designers to purchase them on your behalf for comprehensive consideration.

2. The purchase of kitchenware should pay attention to factors such as quality, functionality, and color. The product should have functions such as wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, fire resistance, antibacterial, anti-static, etc. Design should balance the basic requirements of aesthetics, practicality, and convenience.

 

Installation of commercial kitchen equipment

1. The installation sequence of commercial kitchen equipment. The standardized installation sequence is: wall and ground base treatment → device product inspection → device hanging cabinet → device bottom cabinet → connection and debugging of water supply and drainage → device supporting electrical appliances → testing and adjustment → cleaning.

2. The installation of kitchenware should only be carried out after the kitchen decoration and hygiene work are fully completed.

3. The installation of kitchenware requires professional personnel to measure, design, and ensure that the dimensions produced are correct. Kitchenware and hanging cabinets (with adjustable feet underneath) are level. The joint between the burner and the countertop is treated with silicone for waterproofing to prevent water accumulation and leakage.

4. Safety first, check whether the hardware components of kitchen utensils (hinges, handles, tracks) are installed firmly, and whether the hanging kitchen is installed firmly.

5. The issue of kitchen fumes is that the height of the range hood should be based on the user's height, and the distance between the oil extraction and dosing pump range hood and the stove should not exceed 60 centimeters. Installing the cabinet first and then installing the range hood is the most likely to cause trouble, so it is best to install it together with the cabinet.

6. Acceptance of kitchen equipment installations. There should be no obvious quality defects such as looseness or forward leaning, and the connection between kitchen equipment and the base must comply with relevant national regulations. The kitchenware is firmly connected to the base wall. The reserved positions for various pipelines and inspection ports are correct, with gaps less than 3 millimeters. The kitchen utensils are overall clean and pollution-free, and the countertop and door leaf meet the design requirements. Accessories should be complete and securely installed.
