Prior to installation, check with the Authorities Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) on clearance requirements to
structures surrounding the hood and other equipment.
Verify there is enough space to safely lift the hood up
into its operating position and enough clearance around
the hood for components like fire system connections,
hood lights, hood control components, plumbing
connections, etc. Consider access for servicing the
equipment and the different components when locating
the hood.
The UL label located on the end panel on the inside of
the hood will provide pertinent information regarding the
hood installation. Information includes:
• Allowable cooking surface temperatures of the
cooking equipment
• Front and side overhang requirements
• Minimum exhaust airflow requirements
• Hood lights load information and restrictions
• Filter information
• Fire damper fusible link replacement information, if
applicable
Carefully remove the top of the crate and set aside all
accessories in the crate such as backsplash panels,
control packages, and boxes with loose parts. When
removing the hood from the crate, place protective
material on the floor next to the crate to avoid damaging
the hood.
Lift the hood only by utilizing the hanger brackets. Make
sure the hood weight is evenly distributed. Slowly lift
the hood out of the crate and place on the protective
material.
NOTE
If using straps, the straps should not interfere with
plumbing on the top of the hood in an effort to prevent
internal piping damage which could cause future
leaks.

Auto Scrubber5
Hood Installation Overview
It is recommended that the protective plastic sheeting
remain on the hood until fully installed to better protect
the product from scratching and marking. Once
removed, use stainless steel polish, such as BlueAway
or equivalent, to clean the hood and/or remove marks
or discoloration. Be sure to wipe with the grain and not
against it.
1. If the hood is provided with filler panels, shipped
loose, install them now. See page 7, Filler Panel
Installation. Filler panels may be integral to the
hood, which requires no additional installation.
2. If the hood is equipped with Clearance Reduction
Methods, refer to pages 7 and 8 for special
considerations with hanging the hood.
3. If the hood is provided with hood/duct sensors or
thermostats that were shipped loose, install them
now. See the Installation and Operations guide
provided with the control panel.
4. If the hood was provided with either exhaust
collars or supply collars that have shipped loose,
it is recommended that the exhaust and supply
openings are cut and collars are attached now,
prior to hanging the hood. See Installing Duct
Collars on page 8.
5 If the hood is provided with a back supply plenum
(BSP) install it now. See page 9, Installing the Back
Supply Plenum.
6. If possible, connect (weld) exhaust duct to the
hood while on the floor, unless it prohibits the hood
from being raised into place. For information on
ductwork, see page 9, Ductwork.
7. At this point, drill holes in the building structural
support system or utilize uni-strut to match up with
the hanger bracket holes. Then slowly and evenly
raise the hood into position and insert 1/2-inch
(12.7mm) diameter threaded rod (provided by
others) between the hanger brackets and structure.
The hood hanging height requirements are given on
the UL label. Typical canopy hood hanging height
will be 80inches (198.12cm) off the finished floor.
NOTE
If the hood is supplied with ceiling enclosure panels,
the height of the enclosures will typically be the
distance from the ceiling to the top of the hood. Use
this dimension to find the hood’s hanging height off of
the floor.
For questions regarding the supporting structure and
its integrity, either the contractor or structural engineer
needs to be consulted.
NOTE
All hanger brackets MUST be used and the hood must
be properly supported while lifting to prevent damage
or distortion to the hood.
NOTE
Ensure the hood is hung evenly to prevent drainage
problems. Provide adequate support so that the hood
does not move in a manner that is unacceptable to
the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
WARNING
When mounting the hood or any components against
the hood, never puncture or drill into the canopy
unless otherwise instructed in this manual. Doing so
will void the hood listing and warranty.
8. If the hood was provided in sections with the
continuous capture option, once each hood
section is hung, install this option now. See page 9,
Continuous Capture Plenum Hoods.
9. If the hood was provided with any front or side
external supply plenums (other than the back
supply plenum), install these now. See page 10,
Installing Front/Side External Supply Plenums.
10. Install the remainder of both the exhaust and
supply ductwork. For further guidelines see page 9,
Ductwork.
11. If the hood is provided with any backsplash/
sidesplash panels, install them now. See page 11,
Installing Backsplash Panels.
12. If the hood is provided with any end skirts, install
them now. See page 12, Installing End Skirts.
13. This is a Type I hood and it requires a fire
suppression system. Once the hood(s) and
ductwork are fully installed, appliance(s) are in
place and walls are complete, the fire system
should be completed.
If the hood is provided with a full factory-
coordinated fire suppression system installation,
the certified fire system installer should be
contacted at this time to complete the final
hookups, testing and system certification based
upon manufacturer’s specification and local fire
codes.
If the hood is equipped with pre-piping only, and/
or does not include fire suppression, it is the
responsibility of a certified fire system installer
to install, test and certify the system based upon
manufacturer’s specification and local fire codes.
14. The Auto Scrubber Control Panel (ASCP), if
shipped loose, will need to be installed at this time.
Once mounted, plumbing and electrical wiring
will need to be completed by the jobsite plumber
and electrician. Typical site wiring responsibilities
include wiring hood temperature sensors, hood
lights, hood sequencing valves, fire suppression
micro-switches, and fans (if applicable) to the
control panel. Hood plumbing details are given on
page 13-14, and hood electrical wiring details are
provided on page 15-17.

Solenoids and Temperature Sensors
Each Auto Scrubber hood will include an 8x8x4
enclosure factory wired to the hood solenoids and
sensors. If the Auto Scrubber Control Panel (ASCP) is
not mounted on the hood, the field will need to wire
from the 8x8x4 enclosure back to the ASCP. The hood
sensors and solenoids are low voltage, therefore,
18gauge stranded wire is recommended. The two wires
of each hood sensor are not polarity sensitive.
The wiring diagram provided with the ASCP will display
a table showing which sensors/solenoids connect to
each hood. If more than one hood is being controlled,
be sure that the appropriate sensor/solenoid is wired to
the appropriate terminals as depicted on this diagram.

Airflow Testing Procedure
After the appropriate number of readings have been
taken from the inlet slot of the hood, an average reading
can be calculated by summing the velocity readings and
dividing the total value by the number of readings taken.
Short Ridge Meter Components
For measuring exhaust airflow rates (cubic feet per
minute = CFM), use a short ridge meter to measure
velocities along the inlet slot of the hood. To ensure
accurate data, all appliances should be on. Multiple
locations need to be tested as outlined below to ensure
an accurate reading.
To take velocity
readings along the
length of the hood, the
short ridge meter must
be evenly spaced along
the length of each door
to provide two readings
per door. Vertical

Next calculate the total hood airflow volume (CFM) by
using the following equation:
Hood CFM = [(Length of Hood in inches x 3.398) x
(Average inlet slot velocity x 3.06)] 144
NOTE
The constants 3.398 and 3.6 are factory derived for
use with the Auto Scrubber hood.

Maintenance
Filters
The first or primary stage (baffle or Grease-X-Tractor™)
filters and second stage (Grease Grabber™) bead filters
(if applicable) need to be inspected one week after start
up, then once every two weeks to make certain the
filters are positioned correctly (no gaps between filters)
and that the wash system is adequately cleaning the
filters.
To inspect the filters, remove all access doors. Each
door is held in place with two cammed latch handles.
Turn the handles and remove the doors.
Image 1
Once the doors are removed the filters can be removed.
If the hood contains second stage filters, these will also
need to be removed. While holding the handles of the
filter, push the filter up and lift the bottom of the filter out
of its track. Then pull the filter out of the hood.
3, 4 and 5. Repeat this for all the second stage filters.

Capture Tank
The interior surfaces of the hood capture tank should be
wiped down weekly.

Once the second stage
filters are out, (
Image 5)
the first stage filters can
be removed in the same
Image 5
manner.
Image 6.
Depending on the equipment
under the hood, it might be
easier to remove the filters
from the left or right side.
In that case, slide the filters
Image 6
towards the end that allows
for easier removal.
After inspection, insert the filters back into the hood.
Primary filters go in first, then the second stage filters (if
applicable). After installing all the filters, make sure the
filters are positioned correctly in the hood. There should
be no gaps between the filters.
If for some reason the filters don’t seem to be getting
adequately cleaned, or if the filters appear damaged,
consult the factory.
