Restaurants reopening: how to get your fridge ready


No one can deny how crucial a well-functioning fridge is for the catering business. It cools beverages. It stores groceries and keeps them fresh for a longer time. Definitely, as soon as your restaurant starts operating, your fridge will never stay empty and without refrigeration duties to perform. And you need to be sure it will perform its duties at its best.

That is why you should bring your fridge to its top before reopening your restaurant.


Fridge’s overall health

Fridge’s overall health is not only about whether it works or not. It is about how well (read as “how efficiently”) it is running now and how well it will run in the near future. Therefore, when preparing your refrigeration appliance for intensive use, consider the following aspects:
  • It cools sufficiently and maintains the required temperatures and humidity for each its section
  • It works efficiently and consumes as much electricity as it should
  • There is no risk of its breakage in the near future
Thus, when getting your fridge ready, you need to pay attention to the following components:
  • Door seals (they shouldn’t be worn or cracked)
  • Electronics (it should keep the modes sufficiently)
  • Refrigerant level and leakproofness (the level should be sufficient and any leaks are fixed)
  • Motor, coils, and other spare parts (check their condition and integrity, keep them clean)

Fridge inside cleaning

Inside cleaning should always be an essential part of fridge maintenance. To clarify, groceries absorb other smells very easily. And these foreign smells never do them good. Besides, fridge cleaning always has a sanitizing purpose as the sanity check requires.
So, even if you thoroughly wash your fridges before mothballing, even if you mothball them with open doors, cleaning is still necessary to refresh the air inside the appliances and get rid of bacteria. But if something of this was neglected, deep cleaning and airing are musts.
