Get your kitchen Christmas-ready

Christmas bookings, end-of-year parties and summer crowds make this the busiest stretch of the year — and the worst time for a combi or dishwasher to give up. Book a pre-Christmas service before the rush.

Watch: Robbo and Kiri on a Christmas-ready kitchen

Why book before the Christmas rush

In Kitchen Talk Episode 6, Robbo and Kiri talk about getting your kitchen Christmas-ready. Gear works hardest through December — longer hours, back-to-back services, dishwashers running non-stop. A small fault you can live with in a quiet week often turns into a breakdown in a busy one. Every kitchen wants a technician in December, so the sooner you book, the easier it is to get a time that suits you.

What to check now

  • Cooking gear first: combi, ovens, fryers, grills and cooktops — heating properly, burners lighting cleanly, door seals in good shape
  • Warewashing next: clean, dry plates and glasses, water hot enough, wash arms clear and filters clean
  • Note slow cycles, streaky glasses or error messages, and get them sorted now
  • If something is already a bit dodgy, don't nurse it through to January — book a service before the rush

A planned maintenance visit catches worn parts early, and you get an electronic service report for every piece of equipment.
