5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Eveanro Rear Grease Drainage System operates automatically to collect grease and fluids from your griddle.

• Grease Collection: As you cook, grease and food debris will flow towards the rear grease outlet of your griddle, entering the drainage funnel.
• Efficient Drainage: The funnel directs the fluids through the silicone hose into the grease trap bucket. The integrated grease gate prevents larger food particles from falling into the bucket, keeping the area around your griddle clean.
• Transparent Lid: The transparent lid on the grease bucket allows you to visually monitor the volume of collected grease without needing to open the lid. This helps in determining when to replace the disposable foil bucket liner, preventing overflow and spills.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your grease drainage system.

• Liner Replacement: When the transparent lid indicates the grease bucket is full, carefully remove the bucket. The disposable foil bucket liners make cleanup easy. Simply remove the full liner and dispose of it, then insert a new one.
• Cleaning the Bucket: The 2L grease trap bucket can be easily cleaned with warm, soapy water if any grease spills or accumulates outside the liner.
• Cleaning the Funnel and Hose: Periodically inspect the grease funnel and silicone hose for any blockages or excessive buildup. These components can be cleaned with a brush and warm, soapy water. The materials are resistant to heat, rust, and corrosion, ensuring durability.
• Material Durability: The grease funnel is made of powder-coated steel, and the grease gate block is made of stainless steel, both designed to withstand high temperatures and resist deformation. The silicone hose is heat-resistant up to 570°F.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Issue: The grease bucket lid is difficult to remove.
  Solution: Ensure the bucket is not overfilled, which can create a vacuum. Try gently twisting the lid while pulling upwards. If it's still stuck, a slight tap around the rim might help release the seal.
• Issue: The system feels loose or occasionally spills when cleaning the griddle.
  Solution: Double-check that all screws and hose clamps are securely tightened. If using Method 2, ensure the replacement part is correctly installed and fastened. Verify that the funnel is properly seated on the griddle's rear grease outlet.
• Issue: Grease is not draining properly or the hose is clogged.
  Solution: Inspect the silicone hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the hose is not too long or bent at a sharp angle, which can impede flow. Clean the funnel and hose thoroughly to remove any accumulated grease or debris.
• Issue: Small food particles are still falling into the grease bucket.
  Solution: Ensure the grease gate is correctly inserted and positioned in the front of the funnel bracket. The grease gate is designed to prevent larger particles from passing through.
