5.01.2 E.A.C. Filter Cell Cleaning − continued
While handling and cleaning the cell, take care not to bend the collection fins or break the fine
ionizer wires that are stretched across the its face. Bent fins and broken/missing wires can
prevent the electrostatic collection system from performing properly. System faults and alarms will occur that can
potentially interrupt operations. Damage from abusive handling and/or improper maintenance may not be covered
by the factory warranty.

Two (2) different cleaning methods are currently endorsed by GILES Food Service, as follows.
• Preferred spray method: Uses Simple Green® Crystal Foaming Spray Cleaner/Degreaser which is a readily
available foaming aerosol that is an exceptionally effective cleaner, as well as being safe for use on aluminum
(NSF approved, foodgrade, nontoxic, and biodegradable). Cleaning the collector cell is quick and easy with
this convenient readytouse cleaner. A complimentary sample is supplied with new equipment. It can be
ordered from Giles, item #41510 (12‐count case) and is also available from various online sources and retail
outlets. When used as directed, a case of cleaner should be a 4 to 5 week supply, approximately, depending
on equipment model.
• Alternative soak method: Uses a diluted solution of an approved degreaser product (
LIQUID STORM™) and water.
Other cleaners may be used, such as Simple Green® Pro‐HD. While not as convenient as the spray method, requiring
more planning and time, the procedure has proven to be very satisfactory for cleaning collector cells for many years.
Dilution factors for degreaser products will differ, refer to instructions in the following sections.
With proper care, cleaning, and handling, the E.A.C. collector cell is sustainable, designed to provide years of service.
1. Remove collector cell from hood (see Section 4.02.4) and lay on a drain
board, or other suitable surface.
2. Hold can at the appropriate distance and spray Simple Green®
Crystal Foaming Degreaser onto the cell, completely covering
all surfaces ... collection fins, contact plate, brass fittings and
inside corners of frame. Turn cell over and apply to the other
side in like manner, ensuring that both sides of all collector fins
are completely covered with the foam.
3. Allow foam to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. In cases of extreme
buildup, a second application may be required after rinsing.
