Backed by Vulcan Expertise
Roxanne Holt, Sales Manager at Vulcan, says preventable equipment problems can result when grease is allowed to build up around ports or airways. Holt recommends considering routine cleaning access as part of equipment ownership rather than only focusing on cooking performance.
