WARNING: APPLY THE APPROPRIATE WATER PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE TO ALL FITTINGS TO PREVENT LEAKAGE AND COMPONENT FAILURE
ATTENTION: SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED IN CONDITIONED SPACE BETWEEN 32°F AND 130°F
Ensure there is 36 Inches of service clearance to the front of the panel.
Plumbing Connections for Self Cleaning
Several field plumbing connections are required for proper Self Cleaning hood operation. It is recommended that all plumbing connections be sealed with Teflon tape or pipe thread sealant. Use care not to contaminate the interior surfaces of the water lines when plumbing the unit, as small particulate can clog the orifices of the spray nozzles.
1. All incoming plumbing connections are connected via ¾” quickseals at the top of the utility cabinet. See Figures 1 and 2 for details.
2. Self Cleaning hoods with the W1 option (Hot Water Wash) require a hot water connection at 140°F to 170°F and 30 to 50 psi operating pressure. If the operating pressure is greater than 50 psi, a water regulator must be connected. Max water static pressure is 125 psi. Typical water flow rate is 0.7 GPM per foot of hood. The spray lasts for a factory setting of 3 minutes every time the fans are switched off.
3. Self Cleaning hoods with the W2 option (Constant Cold Water) require an unheated water connection at an operating pressure of 10 to 20 psi. If the pressure is greater than 40 psi, a water regulator must be connected. Max water static pressure is 125 psi. Typical water flow rate is 0.4 GPM per foot of hood. The spray runs constantly while the fans are turned on.
4. Self Cleaning hoods with the W3 option (Hot Water Wash and Constant Cold Water) require a hot water connection at 140°F to 170°F and 30 to 50 psi operating pressure and an unheated water connection at 10 to 20 psi operating pressure. If the pressure is greater than the max rating, a water regulator must be connected. Max water static pressure is 125 psi. Typical water flow rate is 0.4 GPM per foot of hood for cold water and 0.7 GPM per foot of hood for hot water. The cold spray runs constantly while the fans are turned on and the hot water lasts for a factory setting of 3 minutes every time the fans are switched off.
5. If multiple hoods are arranged in an end-to-end or back-to-back arrangement, plumbing connecting the hoods must be piped in the field. The plugged end of the spray bar is used to do this. Remove the plugs on the main hood and the adjacent hood and simply pipe the two together. The highest part of the connecting pipe must not exceed the height of the vacuum breaker in the main utility cabinet. See Figure 1A for illustration.
6. There is also a non-pressurized 1-1/2 inch drain connection that must be piped. This allows water to drain from the hood grease trough. It must be connected to the building grease trap. 30 inch tall hoods will have 2 drains and hoods 10 feet and longer will also have 2 drains. See Figure 3 for details.
7. Once all supply and drain lines are connected, remove one of the nozzles and flush the lines.
8. The Ansul fire system duct detection bracket and fusible link are shipped loose to be installed in the exhaust ductwork. The detector must be installed no more than 20 feet from the hood, and installed per the Ansul fire system guidelines.

To ensure proper operation of the Self Cleaning System, a minimum of 30 PSI water operating pressure during spraying must be achieved at the hood nozzles. For this to occur, proper sizing of the water line is required. Use the following steps to calculate the piping minimum size.
1. Use the Minimum Pressure Requirements for Lengths of Hood chart and find the Self Cleaning minimum PSI required at the hood inlet. Subtract this value from the available PSI at the panel pressure gauge. Maximum panel operating pressure is 50 psi. This will be your maximum allowable pressure drop for field installed pipes between the panel and the hood.
2. Most fittings add an equivalent pipe length to the total run. Use the chart below to calculate the equivalent pipe length for installed fittings. If you have multiple fittings of one type, simply multiply the number below by the total number of the fitting and add to the total run length.
3. To calculate the total flowing pressure drop between the panel and the hood, take the total equivalent length found in step 2 and add the total linear field installed pipe length. Multiply this number by the value found in the table below, Pressure Drop (PSI) per Equivalent Foot of Waterline. (Gallons per minute is calculated by multiplying the length of the hood by 0.7 gpm) This will be the friction pressure drop between the hood and the panel.
4. Add in the pressure drop due to gravity. This must be evaluated to overcome any rise in pipe elevation between the panel and the hood. There is .43 psi/ft of vertical rise of pressure drop.
5. Now, compare the maximum allowable pressure drop from step 1 to the calculated pressure drop from step 3. If the calculated pressure drop exceeds the maximum allowable pressure drop, increase the pipe size and recalculate steps 2 and 3. Continue this step until the calculated pressure drop is below the maximum allowable.

Wall mount panel installed with 30 feet of ¾” linear pipe between panel and hood. (2) 90 degree elbows
are installed in the pipe run and the pipe run has a vertical rise of 5 feet. Length of end-to-en hood system is 32 feet.
Hood System = 32 feet. Flow rate = 32 feet * 0.7 gpm = 23 gpm Pressure required at hood = 45 psi. Pressure at panel gauge = 50 psi. Allowable pressure drop between panel and hoods: 50 psi – 45 psi = 5 psi
Equivalennt length of pipe = 30 + 2 * 2.21 = 34.42 feet Friction Pressure Drop through pipe = 34.42 * 0.779 = 26.81 psi Gravitational Pressure = 0.43 psi/ft * 5 feet = 2.15 psi Total Pressure Drop in Field Pipe between panel and hood = 26.81 psi + 2.15 psi = 28.96 psi Allowable pressure drop = 5 psi
This system will not work correctly because calculated pressure drop is greater then allowable pressure drop. Pipe size will need to be change to 1-1/2 inch diameter.
Re-calculate with 1-1/2 inch pipe instead of ¾” pipe:
Equivalennt length of pipe = 30 + 2 * 4.31 = 38.62 feet Friction Pressure Drop through pipe = 38.62 * 0.030 = 1.15 psi Gravitational Pressure = 0.43 psi/ft * 5 feet = 2.15 psi Total Pressure Drop in Field Pipe between panel and hood = 1.15 psi + 2.15 psi = 3.30 psi Allowable pressure drop = 5 psi
This system will work correctly because calculated pressure drop is less then allowable pressure drop.

OPERATION
Figure 4
Prior to starting up or operating the system, check all fasteners for tightness. Ensure that the wiring is installed properly and that all nozzles and panels are installed.
The Self Cleaning hood is designed to use hot water to wash the hood plenum and immediate duct
section every time the fan switch is switched from the “ON” position on the main control panel. When the
switching action occurs, hot water sprays along the entire length of the hood and towards the back of the hood for a factory setting of 3 minutes. During this time, surfactant is injected into the water stream for a duration of 1 second for each minute of wash time. Once the wash cycle is complete, water stops spraying and the hood filters are to be removed and cleaned.
If the hood is ordered with a cold water mist option, cold water sprays continuously during the cooking process. Cold water stops spraying when the fan switch is switched from the “ON” position.
Start Up
Special Tools Required
AC Voltage Meter  Standard Hand Tools  Hand-held Propane Torch
Start Up Procedure
1. Check all nozzles to make sure they are installed and tight.
2. Install all hood filters per the filter installation configuration chart below. There are drip blanks secured to the filters to prevent water from exiting the hood between the filters.
3. Open all water valves to the hood.
4. Fill surfactant tank with surfactant. The “Add Surfactant” light should not be on. Prime the surfactant pump with the push-button on the face of the electrical control package.
5. There are 2 timers that control the spray and the surfactant injection. The wash timer is set to 3 minutes from the factory. The surfactant timer is factory set for 1 second of injection during each minute of wash time. The injection occurs at the start of each minute. The timer settings should be verified. (See section “Self Cleaning Timers for information)
6. Turn the hood fan switch to the “ON” position. Fans should operate. If they do not, check wiring. If the hood has the cold water mist option, cold water should begin to spray.
7. To operate the wash cycle, simply turn the fan switch off. The wash cycle energizes automatically and will remain on for the duration of the wash timer setting.
8. Verify that surfactant is being injected properly into the water stream.
9. Verify the pressure and temperature of the water via the pressure/temperature gauge. See Figure 4 for a picture of the gauge. Self Cleaning pressure should be between 30 and 50 PSI operating
pressure, and Cold Mist operating pressure should be between 10 and 20 PSI.
10. Check all manifold pipe connections to ensure there are no water leaks.
11. Check all filters to make sure that no water is leaking back through the filters.
12. Verify that the hood grease trough is draining properly and there are no clogs in the drain.

Component Description
Figure 6
The following section lists the major controls and components used in the Self Cleaning hood.
Self Cleaning Spray Bar
The Self Cleaning hood contains a spray bar that extends the entire length of the hood immediately
behind the filters in the hood. The bar is ¾” brass fittings with nozzles that spray directly toward the back
of the hood. The same spray bar is used in hot water wash and cold water mist. Water enters the spray bar via a ¾” quickseal. The other end of the spray bar is plugged. If hoods are installed back-to-back or end-to-end, the plugged end of the spray bar can be un-plugged and connected to the next spray bar. See Figure 6 below for details.

Self Cleaning Wash Timers
The Self Cleaning option includes two timers that ship in the main control panel. These timers control the wash cycle length and the surfactant injection.
The timer shown to the right is the wash cycle timer. The wash cycle timer is a fleeting off timer and is triggered by turning the fan switch to the “OFF” position. The time is factory set to 3 minutes but is adjustable on an application specific basis. It has a range of .5 to 10 minutes and is adjusted by simply rotating the large red dial.
The time shown on the right is the surfactant injection timer. The surfactant timer is an asynchronous on-off timer. This means that it cycles contacts on and off for adjustable time ranges. The timer is factory set to inject surfactant for 1 second and every minute. The interval time (time when not injecting) is set by the top two dials. The small top dial on the timer allows main unit adjustments. This dial can be set to 1, 3, 10, or 60 seconds (s), minutes (m), or hours (h). Once the small top dial is set, the top, large red dial adjusts the percentage of the middle dial. For example, if the small top dial is set to 1 minute, and the large red dial is set to 1.0, the selected time period would result in 1 (1 minute * 1.0 = 1 minute) minute. The large dial is a percentage of the small dial.
The surfactant injection time is set by the bottom two dials. The small bottom dial on the timer allows main unit adjustments. This dial can be set to 1, 3, 10, or 60 seconds (s), minutes (m), or hours (h). Once the small bottom dial is set, the bottom, large red dial adjusts the percentage of the middle dial. For example, if the small bottom dial is set to 1 second and the large red dial is set to 1.0, the selected time period would result in 1 (1 second * 1.0 = 1 second) second. The large dial is a percentage of the small dial.
The red switch on the right side of the face of the timer should not be adjusted and is factory set to the bottom position (beginning of time period). The pictures shown illustrate the factory settings of the timers.

Surfactant Tank
The surfactant tank contains a liquid level control which energizes when the tank is completely empty. In
the event that the low level sensor is activated, an “Add Surfactant” light will illuminate on the control
panel. To reset light, simply fill the surfactant tank with surfactant. Figure 9 below shows tank details.
NOTE: SC-5 surfactant from 20/10 Products Incorporated must be used.

MAINTENANCE
To guarantee trouble free operation of this system, the manufacturer suggests following these guidelines. Most problems associated with unit failures are directly related to poor service and maintenance. Record any maintenance or service performed on this equipment in the documentation section located at the end of this manual.
General Maintenance
1. Hood filters must be maintained on a daily basis to ensure proper airflow and grease extraction.
2. All water connections must be verified for tightness and leak-free operation.
3. The “Add Surfactant” indicating light will illuminate when the surfactant tank is empty. Surfactant must be added immediately to guarantee proper cleaning of the hood plenum and duct connection. .
Every 3 months
1. Clean all duct sensors in hood duct connections (if equipped).
2. Check all nozzles for proper and evenly distributed water flow. If nozzles are clogged, clean or replace.
3. Check drain(s) on hood to verify there is no blockage. Improper drainage could cause hood leaks or water to back up into trough and overflow onto appliances.
Every 6 months
1. Inspect hood plenum and wipe down any areas not being cleaned by the self-cleaning system. There may be an area where the water spray does not directly contact the metal.
2. Inspect the surfactant pump for proper operation and ensure liquid level sensor in surfactant tank
is operational. Test by manually lowering the sensor to see if the “Add Surfactant” light
illuminates.
3. All nozzle strainers should be removed and cleaned. Nozzles must be re-installed tightly.
4. Fill surfactant tank with surfactant. Verify that liquid level sensor operates correctly.
5. The main line strainer in the manifold must be cleaned.
6. Verify that system has proper water pressure and temperature per the labels on the unit.
Every 2 Years
1. Inspect condition of all wires and plumbing. Plumbing should be free of corrosion and wire insulation must be in good condition.
