fire were to occur after 5 minutes of a 30
minute time-delay period and lasted for 15
minutes before the fire switch [manual] or
thermoswitch [auto] was activated, then the
fan[s] would come on for 10 minutes, then shut
OFF.
The component layout is shown below. The
only adjustment necessary is for the auto wash
timer relay. Refer to Sec. VII. G, page 18 for
function explanation. Normally three minutes is
used for ovens, steam equipment and light duty

l. Detergent Pump and Tank
Detergent pumps are factory preset according to the
chart in fig. no. 15. This is a generalized guide;
settings may vary depending on water temperature
and pressure, detergent type and concentration,
grease load and PAWS duration.
Terminals No. 23 and 24 of AVTEC terminal
strip supply 120vac power to the detergent
pump during the Wash Cycle[s]. The pump
does not run during the Fire Cycle nor when
the detergent level is below the bottom of the
probe.
VII. VENTILATOR FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES
A. Baffle Filter Ventilators [AF Models]
These type of ventilators have removable filters
which extracts and collects grease in a
receptacle.
To start the flow of detergent, press the Pump
Prime Switch while the PAWS panel is not in a
wash cycle [no pressure on the outlet side of
the pump]. Hold the Pump Prime Switch until
there is no air in the suction line of the pump or
in the pump head itself. Once there is a solid
column of detergent from the tank through the
pump, no further action [except to fill the
detergent tank] should be required.
1.Filter Installation [Refer to fig. 20]
Grease extractor filters are installed by sliding
them into the upper slot and then lowering
them into the grease trough slot as shown in
the drawing below.
fig. 20
The filters are removed for cleaning by
reversing the procedure.
NOTE: The filters must be installed with the
baffles running vertically and with the handles
facing toward the capture area.
2.Grease Receptacles
Grease receptacles are located at one each
of each ventilator section. These must be
cleaned out periodically. The frequency of
this cleaning is dependent upon the type of
equipment used beneath the ventilator and
the duration of its use.
It is suggested that initially the grease
receptacles be emptied daily.
Terminals No. 21 and 22 of AVTEC terminal
strip are low voltage [20vdc, 2ma] connections
for the detergent level probe. The probe
should be installed in the detergent container
so that it is above the top of the detergent
pump inlet strainer. It
is intended to prevent air from entering the
pump and notify the operator when it is time to
refill or replace the detergent tank. The probe
rods may be cut to facilitate a neat and
effective installation. [See fig. no. 9]
B. Modular Grease Extractors [AX Models]
These type ventilators have removable
extractor modules which extracts grease
contaminants which collects in a grease
receptacle at each end of the ventilator
section.
1. Grease Extractor Module Installation

[Refer to fig. 21]
ventilator section to hold the front panel
open.
Grease extractor modules are installed
by sliding the top [narrow] part of the
module into the upper retaining slot and
then lowering the bottom part of the
module into the grease trough slot.
2. Spray Nozzles
Spray nozzles for hot water wash and
cold water mist are protected from
clogging by wye-strainers located in the
plumbing enclosure. However, scale and
contaminants will accumulate in time and
these will require occasional cleaning to
assure proper wash down and spray
distribution. A paper clip or other pointed
object should be used to scrape
contaminants from the nozzles.
D. Air Adjustment Baffle [Refer to fig. 23]
Some grease extractor models may be
equipped with air adjustment baffles at the
exhaust intake slot. These baffles may be
adjusted to increase or decrease the intake
slot, according to the cfm desired or required
for varying pieces of cooking equipment
underneath. The length of the baffles varies
according to project design specifications and
conditions. The standard opening of nominal 3"
yields approximately 250 cfm/linear ft. and is
used for most cooking appliances. Air flow may
be reduced to a low as 150 cfm/linear ft. for
ovens, steamers, etc. depending on local job
conditions. Adjusting the slot to nominal 1-3/4"
opening will yield approximately 150 cfm/linear
ft.
fig. 21
NOTE: Handle faces towards capture area.
2. Grease Receptacles
Grease receptacles are located at each
end of each ventilator section. These
must be cleaned out periodically. The
frequency of this cleaning is dependent
upon the type of equipment used beneath
the ventilator and the duration of its use.
It is suggested that initially the grease
receptacles be emptied daily.
C. Auto Wash Grease Extractors [AW
Models]
These type ventilators have an automatic
wash cycle which requires only occasional
wiping down of inside grease extractor.
The Thrift Island Series ventilators uses only
one grease extraction chamber and is designed
for 250-270 cfm/linear ft. on the cooking side
and 150 cfm/linear ft. on the oven/steamer side.
These units are provided with air adjustment
baffles to "fine-tune" the balance of air from
each side, and to change air velocity as job
conditions dictate.
1. Grease Extraction Chamber
The front panel is hinged to facilitate
access to the nozzles and grease
extraction baffles.
[Refer to fig.22]

F. After the temperature has dropped below
300oF, the damper can be reset and opened
by pushing the damper reset arm toward the
plenum until it latches.
If the fusible link has melted, it must be
replaced before the damper can be reset. An
access plate is provided.
To adjust air intake slot, turn nuts to loosen,
move air adjustment baffles up or down until
the desired slot opening is obtained, and tighten
nuts.
E. Fire Dampers
1. Fusible Link Type
Some ducts are protected by fire dampers
which are activated by a fusible link rated at
360oF exhaust and 286oF supply When this
temperature is exceeded, the fusible link
melts allowing the fire damper to fall closed.
This linkage should be inspected and the
fusible links replaced annually. Fusible links
in the exhaust duct collar are readily
accessible by removing the baffle filters
[Models AF] or grease extractor modules
[Models AX]. [Refer to fig. 20 and 24] An
access plate is provided for access [supply]
duct collar for all models.
When the damper is closed manually or if the
fusible link melts and causes the damper to
close, the fan and auto wash down are not
affected.
When the damper closes due to activation of
the thermoswitch, the fan[s] will shut OFF and
the auto wash will actuate.
F. Air Make-Up [Supply] Plenums
Ventilators may be supplied with four [4]
different Air-Make-up plenums.
Air is
controlled by grill registers or a special E-Z
Breeze perforated panel.
1. Grill Registers [Refer to fig. 25]
Grill registers are located for external
discharge or both internal and external
discharge.
Internal register have fixed
louvers for proper "Short Cycle" of air.
External registers have four-way louvers for
adjusting direction of air flow to suit job
requirements. Grill registers have opposing
blade dampers located on the rear of the
fig. 24
Electro-Mechanical Type [Refer to fig. 24]
Some ducts are protected by fire dampers
which are activated by heat sensitive
thermoswitches located near the duct inlet.
These switches close electrically at
temperatures above 300o F and activate a
solenoid which releases the damper, and
energizes a relay which activates the plenum
auto wash/fire extinguishing spray and
deactivates the fan. In the event of a loss of
power, the damper assembly also contains a
fusible link, set at 360oF.

The diffuser is attached to a housing with a
cable to prevent it from falling or being lost.
Two [2] bulbs are required for each fixture.
G.Auto Wash
Plenum wash down is a feature of the Energy
Aire Ventilator which eliminates the need to
frequently clean the grease extraction area.

does not occur while the fans are ON.
A
water/detergent mixture is sprayed from a
series of nozzles to remove accumulated
grease and grime which flows out through the
drain. A vacuum breaker/check valve must
be installed upstream of the detergent
injection point [and a minimum of 6" higher
than the ventilator inlet] to prevent detergent
from backflowing into the building water
supply. [Refer to fig. 14]. Hot water should
be at 120oF and pressure must be between
20 psig and 40 psig flow. The duration of the
wash down cycle is adjustable and will vary
depending of length of cooking cycle, type of
cooking equipment used, concentration of
detergent, water pressure and temperature,
among other considerations. See Sec. VI, b.,
"Setting the PAWS", for instructions.
VIII. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
A.Baffle Filters
Filters should be removed and cleaned at least
weekly, depending on hours of operation.
Filters may be cleaned by soaking in a strong
detergent solution, or running thru
a
dishwasher. When replacing, make sure filters
and handles are running vertically, and filters
are seated properly, refer to Sec. VII, A.1, pg.
15.
B.Modular Grease Extractors
Modules should be removed and cleaned at
least weekly, depending on hours of operation.
Modules may be cleaned with a brush and a
strong detergent solution, or run thru the
dishwasher. When replacing modules, make
sure they are seated properly, refer to Sec. VII,
B.1, pg. 16.
**Note: See Page 28 cut sheet for detergent
information.
H.Cold Water Mist [Optional]
To aid in extracting particulates from the
exhausted air and to aid in cooling the
exhaust, a cold water mist option is available.
This is especially useful with charbroilers.
Cold water mist is a fine spray within the

CALCULATING AND RECORDING AIR MOVEMENT
1.) Cubic feet per minute or CFM'S is the total area multiplied by the average feet per
minute.
A:
CFM
AREA
FPM
B: CFM = AREA x AVG. FPM
FPM = CFM ÷ AREA
AREA = CFM ÷ FPM
2.) AREA is the length of the opening multiplied by the width in inches. Divide the total
by 144 to get the total square feet (area).
EXHAUST
A: Filter Hoods - Area = *Square Feet x Quantity of Filters
* 16 x 20 Filter = 1.75 Square Feet
* 20 x 20 Filter = 2.25 Square Feet
B: Extractor Type Hoods - Area = **Square Feet x Quantity of Modules
16” Standard Module
**Low Volume Extractor w/3" Slot = .32352 Square Feet
**High Volume Extractor w/4" Slot = .43136 Square Feet
9” Standard Module
**Low Volume Extractor w/3" Slot = .1855 Square Feet
**High Volume Extractor w/4" Slot = .2473 Square Feet
C: Water Wash Hood - Area = Length of Slot x Width of Slot in inches and
divided by 144 for square feet.
SUPPLY
A: Perforated Supply Air Panels - Square Feet of Panel x .4 = Area.
B: Register Type Supply Air Panels - Square Feet of Panel x .7 = Area.
