Pump outs ensure long-term performance and comply with our warranty terms. Pump outs must be carried out by a licenced catering waste collec- tor. After first disconnecting the Grease Guardian mains plug, tasks should include the following: Essential: ◼Tank pump out - all waste and liquid contents ◼Wipe clean of any debris from heater element.
If the grease appears hard or crusted, firstly try increasing the heater’s pre-heat time as advised in the controller pages section of this manual. Should this have no effect the Grease Guardian heater may require inspection by ser- vice engineer and possible replacement.

Inlet pipe ventilation: Ventilation Tee and branch pipe. To prevent odors/odours escaping from the Grease Guardian into kitchen area the ventilation pipe should be terminated at the building’s stack vent with the outlet ventilation as below. If ventilating is not possible then alternatively the pump out frequency will need to be increased to control and reduce waste odors/odours.

Also seek to prevent any non- skimmable waste from entering the unit as already advised earlier. Scrape visible plate waste to bin rather than rinsing this waste into the Grease Guardian. Stagnant Water For applications where a connected sink or oven has a very low flow ensure to flush the Grease Guardian unit with fresh water regularly to reduce stagnant water.
