5.01.2 E.A.C. Filter Cell Cleaning - continued
Two (2) different cleaning methods are endorsed by GILES Food Service, as follows.
• Preferred spray foam method utilizes Simple Green® Crystal Foaming Spray Cleaner/Degreaser. A readily
available foaming aerosol that is an exceptionally effective cleaner, as well as being safe for use on aluminum
(NSF approved, food-grade, non-toxic, and biodegradable). Cleaning the E.A.C. cell is quick and easy with this
convenient ready-to-use cleaner. A complimentary sample is supplied with new equipment. It can be
ordered from Giles, item #41510 (12-count case) or is also available from various on-line sources and retail
outlets. When used as directed, a case of cleaner should approximately be a 4 to 5 week supply, depending
on equipment model.
• Alternative soaking method uses a diluted solution of Simple Green® Pro-HD and water. Although not as convenient
as the spray method, requiring more planning and time, the procedure has proven to be very satisfactory for cleaning
E.A.C. collector cells for many years. This product has the same characteristics of the spray product, but requires
mixing with water before use ... dilution factor is 1:12, e.g. mix 1/2 gal. of cleaner with 6 gals. of water.
With proper care, cleaning, and handling, the E.A.C. collector cell is sustainable, designed to provide years of service.
While handling and cleaning the cell, take care not to bend the collection fins or break the fine
ionizer wires that are stretched across the face of the cell. Bent fins and broken/missing wires
can prevent the electronic collection system from performing properly. System faults and alarms will occur that can
potentially interrupt operation.
Damage from abusive handling and/or improper maintenance may not be covered by the factory warranty.
A. Preferred Cleaning Method - Spray Cleaner
1. Remove collector cell from hood (see Section 4.02.4) and lay on a drain
board, or other suitable surface.
2. Hold can at the appropriate distance and spray Simple Green®
Crystal Foaming Degreaser onto the E.A.C. cell, completely
covering all surfaces ... collection fins, contact plate, brass
fittings and inside corners of frame. Turn cell over and apply to
the other side in like manner, ensuring that both sides of all
collector fins are completely covered with the foam.
3. Allow foam to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. In cases of extreme
build-up, a second application may be required after rinsing.
