SA Vent Operating Instructions
General:
The SA Vent is designed to improve the environment for kitchen staff and patrons by removing smoke,
odors, moisture and grease laden vapors from the ambient air. It works with compact countertop
cooking appliances such as convection ovens, toasters, Panini grills and griddles. The SA Vent unit
operates from a standard 120V outlet, and draws 3.5A. It comes with a preinstalled NEMA 5-15P cord.
The platform will hold equipment up to 150 lbs. and 25 ½” W x 18” D. The unit is equipped with
interlock switches to insure that three all filters, and the front filter panel, are installed and correctly
positioned in order to operate.
The air filtering system consists of the following three filters.
•
Washable grease filter
•
Disposable electrostatic particulate filter
•
Disposable activated charcoal smoke filter
The Grease impinges upon the baffles and drains downward. Holes in the frame bottom divert the
grease into a trough and to a container away from the fire danger area.
Installation:
The SA Vent is shipped assembled, except for the grease filter. Remove from packing materials and
make sure the unit is complete and undamaged. The SA Vent must be installed on a level surface, away
from sources of excessive heat and moisture. Insure that nothing is blocking the air intake cutouts that
provide cooling of the motor, or the air exhaust ports.
The grease filter is installed at a 45-degree angle, to allow grease to flow freely down the baffles and
through the drain holes. The grease channel below the filter is at a slight angle to allow the grease to
run into the trap without pooling.
