Steps
Schedule cleaning when cooking equipment is off and cooled, avoiding any period when the exhaust or fire suppression system needs to be taken out of service while cooking equipment remains in active use
At the start of cleaning, lock out electrical switches that could be accidentally activated, without disabling the suppression system's core components entirely
Prohibit the use of flammable solvents or other flammable cleaning aids during the process, and take care not to apply cleaning chemicals to fusible links or other detection devices
Confirm the fire suppression system's components were not rendered inoperable at any point during cleaning; if any component was disturbed or removed for access, treat this as requiring a full functional check afterward, not just a visual reassembly check
Once cleaning is complete, return all electrical and suppression system components to a fully operable ('armed') state before cooking resumes, and verify this with a functional test rather than an assumption
Known gotchas
Cooking equipment may not be operated while the fire extinguishing or exhaust system is non-operational — cleaning schedules must avoid any window where cooking could resume before the systems are confirmed back in service
Lockout of electrical switches during cleaning must be done carefully so it doesn't leave the suppression system genuinely disabled if a fire occurred mid-cleaning — this needs a documented, deliberate process, not just flipping a breaker
Chemical exposure to fusible links/detectors during cleaning is a subtle failure mode — a system can look fully re-armed but have degraded detection components from chemical contact
