MAINTENANCE
The cleaning interval must be agreed with the local water authority. Once this has been
reached, the contents of the grease separator must be emptied, cleaned and refilled with
cold water to recommence kitchen activity. This must be carried out by qualified,
approved personnel.
Before disposal and cleaning, kitchen operation must stop. The entire contents of the
grease separator should be removed by a disposal truck with a suction hose through the
maintenance openings.
Once emptied, the tank must be cleaned manually using a hose/high pressure hose to
completely remove the residual FOG from the walls of the grease separator. Scraping
may also be required to achieve this. The cleaning water must also be removed from the
grease separator. Finally, the grease separator must be refilled at least 2/3 of the entire
volume with a hosepipe from an on-site water supply and lids re-fitted with clamp ring in
place.
