Ventless Hood Maintenance

This section describes the routine maintenance required for the ventless hood system of the model WOG­MP­VH
fryer. These activities are vital to continuing long­term hood efficiency.
As a best practice, it is recommended that operators prepare and maintain a Service Log in order to keep a
permanent record of all maintenance activities. Such a record may be required by code officials.
4.07.4.1

Charcoal Filter Maintenance

The Charcoal Filter cannot be cleaned and reused ... REPLACE FILTER ONLY. It is a one­use, consumable item that
must be replaced periodically.
Never attempt to clean a charcoal filter ... damage to the equipment could result. A typical replacement cycle
will be 30 to 40 days
Replace the charcoal filter with Giles Part No. 30248, available from Giles dealers/distributors & many restaurant
equipment/supply providers.
Failure to use Giles OEM Replacement Parts and Filters may void the factory warranty.
IMPORTANT!
Attempting to use a charcoal filter too long can lead to a CLOGGED FILTER airflow alarm, see Section 5.07.3.3.
Since hood capture performance has fallen below minimum requirements, this condition causes the fryer heating
elements to be shutdown until the situation is corrected..
4.07.4.2 Monthly Hood Interlock Inspection
The ventless hood is equipped with a system of interlocks which ensure that the unit operates safely and effectively.
Inspection and testing of these interlocks should be performed MONTHLY as described below. Record these
inspections in an appropriate service log (see Section 5.07.4.6 for sample). If problems are detected, contact a Giles
authorize service company for diagnosis and repaired. During the following process, if instructed to turn fryer power
OFF and then back ON, be aware that each time the unit will go through a power­up sequence, refer to Sections
5.01.10, Power Up Procedure.

1.
Place POWER & SELECTOR switch in the [OFF] position, remove the baffle filter (Section 5.07.1.2.A) and
replace access cover. Verify that SELECTOR switch is in [OFF] position then turn power ON. A constant tone
alarm should sound, and the upper display screen should read "ERROR ALARM ‐ BAFFLE FILTER MISSING".
Place SELECTOR switch in the [COOK] position ... the control panel amber HEAT light should not turn ON.
EAC Filter Check
2.

up appliance. All 3 LED lights should turn ON and a constant tone alarm will begin to sound ... the upper
display screen should read "ERROR ALARM ‐ CLEAN THE EAC". Place the SELECTOR switch in the [COOK]
