Cleaning a restaurant exhaust hood using a Water Cannon hot water pressure washer requires proper safety measures and the use of appropriate cleaning products and techniques. Here is a general guide on how to clean a restaurant exhaust hood using a pressure washer:

1. Turn off the exhaust fan and power to the hood and surrounding outlets.
2. Put on personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, a respirator mask, and slip-resistant footwear.
3. Remove any loose debris from the hood, such as grease and food particles, using a scraper or other appropriate tool.
4. Apply a degreaser to the hood surface and allow it to sit for the manufacturer's recommended time to loosen and dissolve the grease.
5. Rinse the hood surface with a hot water Water Cannon pressure washer, set to a low-pressure setting, to remove the degreaser and loosen any remaining grease and debris.
6. Use a hot water duty pressure washer nozzle with a 0-degree tip or a surface cleaner attachment to clean the hood surface thoroughly.
7. Rinse the hood surface with a green 25 degree nozzle to remove any remaining debris and residual degreaser.
8. Inspect the hood and filters to ensure they are completely cleaned, if not continue to wash using the hot water setting of 190 degree F.
9. Repeat the process, if necessary.
10. Turn the exhaust fan and power back on and check the hood and filters to ensure they are properly installed.
11. Check with local and state fire codes, most of them require hood cleaning service to be performed by certified hood cleaning companies.

It's always recommended to use a certified hood cleaning professional or have a professional maintenance team to handle the exhaust hood cleaning as it is critical for safety and also to avoid fire hazards.
