Kitchen Hoods • Type I and Type II
Step 3 Frequent Maintenance
Periodic Inspection
- Inspect filter fasteners. Verify they are not loose or
missing.
- Each filter may be soaked in hot soapy water for two
hours once a month prior to washing if grease build-
up is found.
- Test for grease build-up by running water through the
filter. If water runs freely and no air gaps are in the
beaded pack, the filter is in working condition.
- Inspect the filters by holding it up to a light. Light
shining through more than six holes in a group
indicates filter damage.
- For filter replacement, call 1-800-355-5354
Step 4 Replace Grease Grabber™ filters in hood. Do
Step 2 in reverse order (2C, then 2B, then 2A).
Step 5 Replace the front Grease-X-Tractor filters. Do
Step 1 in reverse. Be sure to install filters in the
ends of the hood first, then install the filters in
the middle of the hood (1B, then 1A).
- Remove filters from hood and place each filter in a
whirlpool sink or dishwasher.
- If using a whirlpool sink, cycle for 10 minutes. Use
standard dish wash soap. (3A)
- If using a dishwasher, cycle it three times to ensure
all grease is removed. (3B)
- If using standard sink, cover with hot water and
degreaser and soak for two hours. Rinse after
soaking.
NOTE
Required washing frequency is dependent on type of
cooking and quantity of food cooked.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash
second stage filters in detergents that contain
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide.

2. Lifting the lower edge
of the filter past the
grease trough, continue
to push the top of the
filter into the channel.
3. When the filter is even
with the bottom rear
filter channel, set the
filter into the channel;
Fig. 21.
4. Slide the filter to one
end of the hood and
repeat until all the filters
are installed. Make sure
the filters are placed
tightly together with no
visible gaps.
5. Install the Grease-X-Tractor™ primary filters in the
same manner using the front filter channel. (Fig. 22)
Grease Grabber™ Filter Cleaning
Step 1 Remove the front row of Grease-X-Tractor™
filters shown in 1A. Begin by removing the
middle filter(s) first (1B), then slide the outer
filters toward the hood center and continue
removing the filters.

Fig. 22
Step 2 Remove the Grease Grabber™ filters, starting
in the middle of the hood: (2A) grab the handles
on either side and lift the filter up, (2B) pull the
bottom of the filter toward yourself, (2C) lower
the filter out of the hood.
Repeat this process for each filter. The filters
that are on the ends will have to be slid toward
the middle and then lifted out.
NOTE
For hoods with large quantities of filters, it is
acceptable to wash three to four filters each day,
cycling all of the filters in three days.
NOTE
The beads will discolor. Standard cooking will turn the
beads yellow in color. Open flame cooking will cause
the beads to blacken. Neither affects the performance
of the filters.
