BEST PRACTICES TO MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE (USER)
• Remove any blockages from drains before installing the Grease Guardian
• Unit will lose efficiency if not maintained daily as described
• Avoid connecting a dishwasher machine to the Grease Guardian in order to ensure tested
efficiencies. The dishwasher should be bypassed to drain. (Then in practice, scrape dish/plate
waste into bins before pre-rinsing these in the sinks served by the Grease Guardian. After
thorough pre-rinsing, the dish/plates can be machined washed)
• Never connect a macerator or similar food waste device upstream from the Grease
Guardian
• Do not use highly acidic or highly alkaline detergents in ovens connected to Grease
Guardian.
• Do not flush or clean the Grease Guardian tank with bleach or any aggressive cleaners
while the unit is in place. (The unit must be disconnected from the sinks before cleaning with
these detergents. All wetted components should be removed before doing so to avoid chemi-
cal corrosion. Rinse out the unit with clean water before refitting components and re-
installation.)
• The unit is designed to trap and remove free floating grease oils and fats only. The unit
will not remove emulsions such as salad cream, mayonnaise, relish, sauces, soup waste, or
any finer wastes or emulsions that pass into the main skimming chamber
• The internal solids strainer provides limited protection from solid food waste build up. To
help ensure the highest efficiency, solid food waste can be further reduced by installing addi-
tional strainers upstream of Grease Guardian.
IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS TO OBSERVE IN USE (USER)
• Operation of the unit must be performed by trained personnel only.
• Unit requires daily housekeeping AND assisted servicing including pump out and heater
inspection every 3 months. Neglect of this maintenance can lead to malfunction of system
and compromise site safety.
• Unit requires ventilation. Ensure to follow all installation instructions previously described
for ventilation, especially in confined locations. Otherwise tank pump outs must increase
from once every 3 months to a minimum of every 1-3 months.
• Use dedicated rubber gloves for grease trap maintenance tasks to minimise cross con-
tamination
• Do not touch the skimming wheel, skimming drum directly if accessing inside the tank to
clean etc. Do not touch any submerged elements inside the tank.
• Other than accessing the front panel timer key buttons, never attempt to access inside the
control panel behind the timer plate, unless electrically qualified.
• If the mains supply cord is damaged it must be replaced to avoid a hazard, by the manu-
facturer or authorised distributor or service agent
