An example automatic kitchen cleaning system includes a control box configured to, in response to receipt of the start signal to initiate the first cleaning operation of the cooking range exhaust system, causing the first detergent and water to be mixed in a reservoir at the first target mixing ratio for form the first cleaning solution. The control box is further configured to, in response to receipt of the start signal to initiate the second cleaning operation of the waste conduit, causing the second detergent and water to be mixed in the reservoir at the second target mixing ratio to form the second cleaning solution.

System and method to clean a range exhaust

A system including a nozzle coupled to a conduit and arranged to spray a zone of a cooking range exhaust system, a pump configured to provide a cleaning solution to a supply line, and a control box connected to the pump via a supply line. The control box includes a controller and an electronically-controlled valve configured to selectively couple the supply line to the conduit. The controller can be configured to, in response to receipt of a start signal to initiate a cleaning operation, cause the cleaning solution comprising a mixture of detergent and water having a ratio based on a target mixing ratio to be provided to a supply line and cause the electronically-controlled valve to open to facilitate provision of the cleaning solution to the nozzle via the conduit for a predetermined period of time.
