Model: OVH-10-FB & 11-FB Operation & Filter Maintenance
To maintain peak performance, the EAC Filter Cell must be cleaned daily, or as otherwise recommended. Failure to
do so will eventually lead to filter system failure and will reduce Charcoal Filter life, leading to increased operating
costs. Follow the procedure below for effective cleaning.
The EAC cell is NOT designed to withstand washing in commercial dishwashers.
1. Add 64 ozs. of a mild degreaser concentrate, such as Simple Green or
Clear Magic , to the provided Soak Tank ... add water to the fill line
etched on the inside of the Tank’s back and mix thoroughly.
2. Grasp the Contact Plate and carefully lower the EAC Cell into
the mixed degreasing solution.
3. Allow the Cell to soak for 30 minutes. After that time, hold cell by the
Contact Plate , lift it and agitate up and down in the solution several
times to dislodge grease residue.
4. Carefully remove the Cell from the Soak Tank and rinse thoroughly in a
sink, using hot water spray.
5. Stand cell on end on a drain board with Contact Plate up and allow it to air
dry overnight. Must be completely dry before use.
6. Inspect cell for broken wires or bent fins. Broken wires need to be
replaced promptly. If needed, bent fins may be gently straightened by
hand.

• Avoid bending the collection fins or breaking the fine ionizer wires on the Cell. This will
prevent the collecting cell from performing properly and potentially void the warranty.
• Never place a wet EAC Cell into the Hood for operation ... it must be completely dry.
