FAN OPERATION
To operate the exhaust fan turn on the fan switch that is typically mounted on a wall near the hood. The “XG” hood may
be equipped with a fan, auto start controller, and/or light switch
mounted on the face of the hood.
GREASE EXTRACTION (XG EXTRACTORS)
The Gaylord Industries Patent Pending XG Extractor Cartridge
is designed to deliver the absolute optimum in collection efciency at the lowest possible pressure drop. The units are ETL
listed to UL 1046 standard, and are also recognized as part of
an XG Ventilator. They are constructed of corrosion resistant
stainless steel and feature a GX style handle for easy removal
from the ventilator to which they are mounted. Another great
feature of the XG lter is that it can be opened up and turned
back on itself for easy and efcient dishwasher cleaning. The
opening of the lter is accomplished by a top mounted, dual
hinge and a set of snap buttons at the bottom to secure the
lter in position. The benet to such a design ensures that
restaurant employee’s will always have access to the inside of
the extractors for easy cleaning, and will not mistakenly install
the units in the opened, or disassemble position.
CLEANING
At the end of the cooking day, or at periodic intervals,cartridges
are removed and washed either in a dishwasher or soaked in
a deep well sink, scrubbed and rinsed.
OPERATION
FIRE PROTECTION
NFPA #96 requires the use of surface, duct and plenum pro-
tection on all hoods.
These systems are designedto detect and extinguish res on
the cooking surface, within the plenum and at the duct collar.
Refer to the re extinguishing system owner’s manual for opera-
tion and maintenance instructions of these systems.
The “XG-GFBD”hood is equipped with an exhaust duct re
damper. In the event of a re, should the thermostat reach its
activation point of 325° F, the damper would close preventing
the ames from entering the ductwork and spreading to other
parts of the building.The re is contained in the kitchen area
where it can be properly fought.
