provided Soaking Tank

the tank back and mix thoroughly.
2. Holding the Cell by the Contact Plate
②,
carefully lower it into the solution. It
should be fully submerged, add water if needed.
3. Allow the Cell to soak for 20 - 30 minutes, then lift it by the Contact Plate and jog
up and down in the solution several times to help dislodge grease residue.
4. Carefully remove the Cell from the tank and rinse thoroughly in sink, using hot
water spray. DO NOT scrub with brushes .
5. Stand Cell on end, in a dish drainer, with Contact Plate up and allow it to air dry overnight. Cell must be
completely dry before reinstalling in Hood.
6. Inspect for broken/missing wires and bent fins. Broken wires need to replaced promptly. If needed, bent fins
may be gently straightened by hand.
NOTE:
The degreasing solution can be used multiple times ... discard and replenish when a greasy film remains visible floating on
the liquid. When soaking, always ensure that solution completely covers the Cell ... add water if needed.
• The EAC Filter Cell is NOT dishwasher safe ... DO NOT wash in the dishwasher!
• DO NOT dry the Cell by installing it in unit and running the Hood fan to air dry it. This
could potentially damage the EAC system causing improper operation and void the
warranty. If desired, a small electric fan blowing on the Cell as it drains can help
expedite the drying process.
• DO NOT attempt to clean the Cell with cleaners which might be corrosive to aluminum.
