Step 3 Frequent Maintenance
NOTE
Required washing frequency is dependent on type of
cooking and quantity of food cooked.
- Remove filters from hood and place each filter in a
whirlpool sink or dishwasher.
- If using a whirlpool sink, cycle for 10 minutes. Use
standard dish wash soap. (3A)
- If using a dishwasher, cycle it three times to ensure
all grease is removed. (3B)
- If using standard sink, cover with hot water and
degreaser and soak for two hours. Rinse after
soaking.
3A
Whirlpool sink method
NOTE
For hoods with large quantities of filters, it is
acceptable to wash three to four filters each day,
cycling all of the filters in three days.
NOTE
The beads will discolor. Standard cooking will turn the
beads yellow in color. Open flame cooking will cause
the beads to blacken. Neither affects the performance
of the filters.
Periodic Inspection
- Inspect filter fasteners. Verify they are not loose or
missing.
- Each filter may be soaked in hot soapy water for two
hours once a month prior to washing if grease build-
up is found.
- Test for grease build-up by running water through the
filter. If water runs freely and no air gaps are in the
beaded pack, the filter is in working condition.
- Inspect the filters by holding it up to a light. Light
shining through more than six holes in a group
indicates filter damage.
- For filter replacement, call 1-800-438-8898
Step 4 Replace Grease Grabber™ filters in hood. Do
Step 2 in reverse order (2C, then 2B, then 2A).
Step 5 Replace the front Grease-X-Tractor filters. Do
Step 1 in reverse. Be sure to install filters in the
ends of the hood first, then install the filters in
the middle of the hood (1B, then 1A).
CAUTION
To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash
second stage filters in detergents that contain
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide.
