Cleaning & Maintenance
FSH − 2 − PH
The HEPA Filter is a consumable item which must be replaced periodically (see Sections 4.02.5, Removal & 4.02.5,
Installation ). It CANNOT be cleaned and reused. Typical replacement cycle can vary significantly depending on the
cooking activities (quantity and type of foods cooked). A HEPA filter should potentially have a useful service life of
approximately 3 to 4 months , but this can only be determined by actual use.
If a
HEPA filter has been in service for a period of time and a clogged filter alarm condition occurs (see Section 4.03.2) ,
first replace the charcoal filter. If the alarm clears, that is an indication that the HEPA filter if still serviceable. Should the
alarm NOT clear with the new charcoal filter, the filter probably needs to be replace. DO NOT attempt to clean and
reuse the HEPA filter.
Use
GILES replacement Item No. 41254 . Record the replacement date on new filter.
IMPORTANT: Failure to use Giles OEM parts and OEM replacement filters may void the factory warranty.

3. After preparing the cleaning/degreaser solution, hold the cell by contact plate , frame or
handle and carefully place it into the solution, being sure that it is fully submerged.
4. Allow cell to soak for approximately 20 minutes (no more than 30 mins) , then lift it slightly
and briefly agitate in the solution to help dislodge grease residue.
5. Carefully remove cell from container and perform Steps 4 thru 6 as explained in Method (A) .
NOTE:
A degreaser soaking solution may be used multiple times ... cover container with a lid or other suitable cover when
not in use to prevent contamination. Discard and remake the solution when a greasy film seems to remain floating on
the liquid. When soaking, always ensure that solution completely covers the cell ... add some water if needed.
