4. Carefully move cell to sink and 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 and air dry
overnight. The cell must be completely dry before being replaced in hood unit. If desired, a small
electric fan can be used to blow across the cell to help expedite drying.
6. Before replacing cell in the 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
E.A.C. cell in this manner. Other spray cleaners have not been evaluated and may contain corrosive ingredients that
may damage the metal, causing cell to fail or not perform properly. Such damages are not covered by the factory
warranty.
Corporate approved product for the soak method of cleaning the collector cell is
EcoLab
LIQUID STORM™
which must
be diluted in clean water at the rate of three (3) packets per 6 gals
(1:2 ra
ti
o)
.
Giles
factory
recommended product for the soaking method is
Simple Green® Pro
‐
HD,
a readily available, biodegradable,
non
toxic degreasing cleaner that is safe for use on aluminum. It performs well to clean the cell when diluted at a
1:12
ratio
(e.g. 1/2 gal. cleaner to 6 gals water)
.
DO NOT use DISHWASHING DETERGENTS other than these approved cleaners as they may contain ingredients that can
damage the metal components, causing failure or unsatisfactory performance. Such damages are not covered by the
factory warranty.
1. Cleaning with this method requires a suitable, leakproof container, such as a trash bin, recycle bin,
plastic tote, or a
Giles soaking tank
. The container must be large enough to hold the cell long with
enough cleaning solution for it to be completely submerged, either standing on end, on
edge, or lying flat.
IMPORTANT! Giles has adopted the spray cleaner method for cleaning the collector cell as
the “best practice” and has subsequently discontinued providing a Giles Soaking Tank with
its ventless hood products, however the tank is still available for separate purchase ... Item
No. 91123
.
2A. Place cell into suitable container and fill with fresh water to a level that covers the cell. Measure water while filling
and note the quantity.
