Yes. Many customers have their kitchen staff manage the filter pad changes. We provide education before and during installation. An instructional guide is included with the first order ensuring the owner/operator or kitchen staff is adequately educated on filter pad replacement.

After initial installation, it is recommended to test the filter pads to failure, as each cooking operation is different. Optimizing change frequency based on your operation will ensure best performance.

Grease Lock® is a proprietary wool-blend, biodegradable and heat-resistant filter proven to capture grease particulate emissions produced in commercial cooking operations.

Grease Lock® filters are available in sizes that fit most OEM hoods.

Grease Lock® is a proprietary blend of fibers that capture particles with minimal effect on airflow, and no exhaust fan upgrade is needed.

Odors occur due to grease rotting in the ductwork. Grease Lock® captures the vapors in the hood filters before this happens to decrease odors.

The best time to install Grease Lock is right after a scheduled hood cleaning or if your existing filters/ventilation system is visibly dirty or clogged with grease. Starting with a clean exhaust system ensures maximum performance and gives you the full benefit of using the product.

Cleaning frequency is determined by the amount of grease buildup. Consult with your local Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Professional for more information.

Restaurant owners or other designated facility maintenance or hood filter exchange companies are responsible for maintaining the Grease Lock® system. If an uninspected and grease laden ventilation system results in a fire, the restaurant owner can be financially and legally liable.

Standard baffle filters capture approximately 25% of airborne grease and particulates and require frequent washing with chemicals and water.

Grease Lock® captures up to 98% of airborne grease and particulates before it enters the hood and ductwork. Grease Lock® significantly reduces buildup in hoods, ducts, and exhaust fans while minimizing the need for frequent cleanings.

The filters capture up to 98% of airborne grease and particulates.

For grills, you should clean the metal frames between two and four times per month without the pads installed. For other appliances, a monthly cleaning is sufficient. However, you must wipe down the front covers and hood every night.
