Tempted to fix that fault yourself?

Repairs can be costly, but a DIY fix can compromise both how the equipment works and how safe it is. It can also invalidate the manufacturer's warranty, so check your terms first.

Electrical components and anything involving refrigerants are jobs for a professional, and gas appliances must only be worked on by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

A small problem is far easier and cheaper to fix than the complex ones it turns into if it's left. Have you ever put off a small repair?

Does your kitchen have a cleaning schedule that actually gets followed?

Daily cleaning reduces build-up of debris, oil and grease. Deeper cleaning reaches the tiny crevices that get overlooked day to day. Some heavily used items, like deep fat fryers, need a weekly deep clean, while less busy equipment may only need one monthly.

A checklist helps. File the completed ones and ask staff what's working.

Which job gets skipped most in your kitchen?

Misuse is a common cause of catering equipment breakdowns, either through staff cutting corners or simply not understanding the correct procedure.

New starter or new equipment? Give staff full training on every function, the control panel and the recommended cleaning and maintenance routine. Existing staff benefit from a refresher too, and training procedures are worth reviewing annually where needed.

When did you last open the manual for your oven, fryer or dishwasher?

Each manufacturer sets out how its own equipment should be maintained, and those details differ from the general advice. Revisit the manual regularly, not just on installation day. If you've lost it, most manufacturers can send a copy on request.

One more check: some brands need you to register the equipment with them first, or you may not get the cover you expect.

Is yours registered?

Leaving a commercial dishwasher's door shut straight after the last wash is a habit worth breaking.

The machine needs air to dry out properly. Shut the door and you trap moisture inside overnight, which is exactly how musty odours get a foothold.

Leave the door ajar after the final cycle instead - simple habit, real difference.

Does your kitchen already do this?

If you're in a hard water area and running a commercial dishwasher without a water softener, check your warranty terms.

Some manufacturers won't honour a limescale-related fault if a softener wasn't fitted so it's worth checking where you stand before you need to make that claim, not after.

A softener also means fewer descaling jobs and better results on glassware - it pays for itself.
