For day-to-day hygiene and reliable temperature performance, use a simple cadence:
Per shift: Wipe handles, high-touch areas and any visible spills immediately.
Daily: Quick wipe of interior surfaces (especially around ready-to-eat foods), check for spills under trays, and tidy stock so air can circulate.
Weekly: Remove products in sections, wash and sanitise shelves/runners, wipe the full interior, and clean door seals.
Monthly (or more often in greasy kitchens/busy bars): Clean dust from ventilation grilles and gently brush or vacuum the condenser area where accessible.
