Operation & Filter Maintenance
4.04.2 E.A.C. Collector Cell Cleaning − continued
While handling & cleaning the cell, take care not to bend the collection fins or break the fine
ionizer wires stretched across the face of the cell. Bent fins and broken & missing wires can
prevent the electronic collection system from performing properly. System faults & alarms will occur that can
potentially interrupt appliance operations or cause damage to the system.
Damage from abusive handling and/or improper maintenance may not be covered by the factory warranty.
A. Preferred − Spray Cleaner Method
1. Remove collector cells from hood (see Section 4.02.6) and lay on a
drain board or other suitable surface.
2. Hold can at an appropriate distance & spray Simple Green®
Crystal Foaming Degreaser onto the cell, completely
covering all surfaces ... collection fins, contact plate, brass
fittings & inside corners of the frame. Turn cell over & apply
to the other side in like manner, ensuring that both sides of
all collector fins are completely covered with foam.
3. Allow foam to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. In cases of extreme
build­up, a second application may be required after rinsing.
4. Carefully move cell to sink & rinse thoroughly, using hot water spray. Rinse ONLY, DO NOT
scrub with brushes.
5. Stand cell upright on end on a drain board, w/contact plate up ... allow it to drain & air dry
overnight. The cell must be completely dry before being replaced in hood. If desired, a small
electric fan can be set up to blow across the cell to help expedite drying.
6. Before replacing cell in hood, inspect for broken & missing ionizer wires and bent fins.
Broken or missing wires need to be replaced promptly. Bent fins may be straightened by
hand so that no fins are touching adjacent fins.
IMPORTANT! ONLY Simple Green® Crystal Foaming Cleaner/Degreaser is recommended by
GILES for cleaning the EAC cell in this manner. Other spray cleaners can contain corrosive ingredients that can
damage the metal components of the cell, causing it to fail or not perform properly. Such damages are not
covered by the factory warranty.
