Drains
Symptom
Probable Cause
Corrective Action
1 If during a Wash
Cycle water
overflows the gutter
and comes out the
inlet slot.
A. Clogged drain outlet. (Note: each
Ventilator section has its own
drain outlet).
1 The drain outlet is typically
located at either the right or
left end of the Ventilator. Open
the Extractor Inspection Door at
both ends of the Ventilator,
reach in and down into the
bottom of the Grease Gutter
until the drain outlet is found.
Remove any grease or debris
found.
B. The building drain system may be
clogged. (If more than one
Ventilator section in not draining
it indicates that the building’s
drain system is clogged).
1 A chemical drain cleaner
applied per instructions may
dissolve stoppage. Pour
cleaner into the Grease Gutter
at the drain opening.
2 Hire a drain rooter service to
clear the entire drain system.
D. Clogged or full grease trap.
1 Some cities and counties have
codes which require grease
traps. If a grease trap is in use,
check to ensure that it is not
clogged.
