Big Dipper® Internal Strainer System Overview
The Thermaco, Inc. Big Dipper®Automatic Grease and Oils
Removal System removes free-oating grease & oils from
kitchen drain water ows. As most food service facility manag-
ers already know, grease buildup within a building’s plumbing
drainage system is a major cause of problems due to drain line
blockages. These problems jeopardize normal operations as
well as create health and safety hazards within the facility itself.
The proper installation of a Big Dipper System can reduce or
eliminate grease problems. Use of the Big Dipper assures
minimization and/or elimination of costly sewer surcharges and
nes through efcient separation and removal of free-oating
grease & oils. In addition, the Big Dipper also helps reduce or
eliminate pumping and disposal costs associated with conventional grease separators or intercep-
tors. The recovered grease & oils are substantially water-free and are suitable for recycling by local
rendering and/or biodiesel companies.
The Big Dipper system is an automatic, self-cleaning device. As greasy kitchen efuent drains from
kitchen xtures, the unit contains the grease & oils. These separate from the efuent and rise to the
surface of the separator tank. The unit automatically skims the contained grease & oils and transfers
the grease & oils to a collection container. A digital control maintains the self cleaning operation,
activating the skimming wheel periodically based on the setting chosen. Only the “cleaned” water
exits the unit and ows into the facility drain lines. The Big Dipper IS automatic systems operate most
efciently when servicing single xtures such as a 1 to 3-compartment sink or a pre-rinse station.
The Big Dipper system’s compact footprint allows installation directly at the source where grease
problems originate. The system design also allows easy maintenance and operation requiring only
a minimal amount of daily and weekly maintenance to maintain peak operating performance.
The Big Dipper system design allows for maximum installation exibility. Reversing the system op-
eration is a simple as rotating the cover assembly of the unit.
Hydromechanical grease interceptors*, grease separators, automatic recovery units, grease removal
devices and other similar plumbing devices receiving kitchen ows from sinks, oor drains, woks and
other food bearing sources may generate odors. There are many factors inuencing odor evolu-
tion and dissemination. These include room ventilation, kitchen menu, ambient temperatures, ware
washing practices, grease/oil input, daily input uid volume, sanitizers, installation plumbing design
and product maintenance/upkeep. Odors are usually prevented by good area ventilation, frequent
uid inputs, good product maintenance practices and proper product installation. Additional steps,
including aeration, chlorination, improved area ventilation and additional maintenance control, may
be needed at some sites.
*Devices formerly referred to as grease traps are now called hydromechanical grease interceptors.

*CAUTION! DISCONNECT POWER TO UNIT BEFORE CLEANING
to prevent damage to the unit and personal injury
*NOTE: Before energizing unit after cleaning, ll tank with water
to protect wipers and heater from damage
Big Dipper® Internal Strainer (IS) System Maintenance
Daily Maintenance:
(A) Empty the clear plastic grease/oils collection container (located beside the unit) prior to its be-
coming full once each day. The Big Dipper recovers grease and oil virtually water-free so that they
can be recycled. The collector container should be washed periodically so as to maintain the easy
viewing translucent characteristic of the collector.
(B) The internal strainer basket should be removed and emptied into a garbage container by shaking
briskly. Wash the inside and outside surfaces of the strainer after emptying.
Weekly Maintenance:
(A) Check the collection trough and the wiper blades for any solids build-up. Wipe off any accumulated
deposits and assure that the wiper blades are clipped in place properly.
(B) Press the Start button (on the bottom of the user interface) momentarily to ensure that the motor
and skimming wheel are still operating correctly.
(C) Check the thickness of the grease layer at the top of the unit. There should be no appreciable
amount of grease or oil left in the tank immediately after the daily automatic skimming cycle. If there
is more than a 1/2” (13 mm) thick layer of grease after the skimming cycle, this indicates a need to
increase the skimming time. Increase the digital control settings accordingly until a clean unit ap-
pearance is obtained after the automatic skimming cycle. A simple guide is to change to the next
higher setting (Light [I] to Moderate [II] or Moderate [II] to Heavy [III]) and run for a period of time until
enough grease is being skimmed from the tank.
Quarterly Maintenance:
(A) The internal strainer basket in the unit is designed to remove incidental solids from kitchen drain
ows. Over a period of time, sediment consisting of very ne particles may begin to accumulate on the
bottom of the unit. If this build-up is allowed to continue, it may eventually block the outlet bafe. To
prevent this from occurring, remove the lid and stir the bottom of the unit with a long handled spatula
while water is owing to ush out the sediment. Occasionally drain and clean the unit thoroughly.
Properly used, a wet-vac may be appropriate for this purpose.

Digital Control Operation
Timed Skimming Default
Through the “User Interface” three
levels of skimming may be selected in
the “default” mode. By selecting one of
the skimming buttons – I, II, or III - the
skimming cycle (see table below) is
activated. The LED associated with
the selected button is illuminated
continuously as an indicator of the
selected skim cycle and as a “power
on” indicator. If the skimming level is
changed during an active skimming
cycle, the next active skim cycle will be
at the new setting (The LED associated
with the newly selected level will change
immediately). If the skimming cycle
is changed between active skimming
cycles the next skim cycle will be at the
new level.
Motor Exercising
For all default mode skimming levels, the
motor will be energized for 30 seconds
every 9.5 hours. Only the motor will be
energized (no heater operation) at these
exercising times.

Troubleshooting
Big Dipper unit overows
(1) Check to see that the outlet pipe is not reduced to a
smaller size, the outlet piping is vented, has as few 90
degree outlet turns as possible, and that no “P” trap is
installed on the outlet. Re-plumb the piping, if neces-
sary. Check outlet piping for clogs. Have a plumber
clean the line, if necessary.
(2) Make sure that the solids strainer is in place and
emptied daily.
(3) Check the bottom of the grease chamber for exces-
sive solids and silt buildup which may be blocking the
outlet bafe. Disconnect the power and use a long
handled spatula or similar instrument to stir the bottom
while water ows through the unit. If necessary, drain
and clean the sediment from the unit. To prevent recur-
rence, schedule this cleaning to be done on a regular
basis (properly used, a wet vac may be appropriate for
cleaning sediment from the bottom of the unit).
(4) Make sure the ow rate to the unit does not exceed
the maximum ow rate, which is shown on the nameplate.
If necessary, have a plumber install an approved ow
control to restrict the inlet ow to the specied level or
install a properly sized Big Dipper for the application.
Excessive water observed in the grease collection
container
(1) Check Digital Control for excessive “on” time. Unit
will pick up incidental water after all grease is removed.
If necessary, reduce the digital control setting (i.e.
Moderate [II] to Light [I]) until no water is observed in
the grease collection container.
(2) Make sure that the water ow to the unit does not
exceed the rated ow and there are no drain line clogs
downstream from the unit.
No grease is collected in the container
(1) Check to be sure the power is on and the correct
setting is chosen. One of the setting buttons should be
illuminated. If none of the setting buttons are illuminated,
the unit is not powered.
(2) Lift the sump cover and clean away any buildup
that may be present on the wiper blades or collection
trough. Make sure the wiper blade(s) are properly in
place on the skimmer wheels. Replace wiper blades
when worn or warped.
(3) Press the Start Button on the bottom of the user inter-
face to ensure that the skimming wheel turns.
CAUTION: Keep your hands away from moving parts
to avoid possible injury. If the skimmer motor does not
come on, the motor assembly may need to be replaced.
(4) Check for congealed grease in the unit. If the Big
Dipper’s heating element is not warming the unit, the
heating element may need to be replaced.
(5) Some sites do not generate enough grease to be
captured by the skimming process. Set Control for
minimum operation - Setting [I] for Light Skimming
Operation.
Objectionable odor
(1) Make sure grease/oil is being skimmed properly
from the unit.
(2) Check Digital Control for excessive “on” time. Unit
will pick up incidental water after all grease is removed.
If necessary, reduce the digital control setting (i.e.
Moderate [II] to Light [I]) until no water is observed in
the grease collection container.
(3) If excessive sediment has collected on the bottom
of the unit, clean the unit as described in item 3 in “Big
Dipper unit overows.”
(4) Clean the solids strainer and grease collection
container more frequently.
(5) Grease interceptors, grease separators, automatic
recovery units, grease removal devices and other
similar plumbing devices receiving kitchen ows from
sinks, oor drains, woks and other food bearing sources
may generate odors. There are many factors inuenc-
ing odor evolution and dissemination. These include
room ventilation, kitchen menu, ambient temperatures,
ware washing practices, grease/oil input, daily input
uid volume, sanitizers, installation plumbing design
and product maintenance/upkeep. Odors are usually
prevented by good area ventilation, frequent uid in-
puts, good product maintenance practices and proper
product installation. Additional steps, including aeration,
chlorination, improved area ventilation and additional
maintenance control, may be needed at some sites.

Big Dipper® IS System
Plumbing Installation
Locating the Unit
To minimize grease build-up in piping, a Big
Dipper system should be located as close as
possible to the xture it is serving. The sys-
tem should be visible and easily accessible for
maintenance and inspection. The unit must
be in a level position. Be sure to check the
Specication Sheet for your model for the
exact clearances needed for installation. If
the system is located directly on the oor, the
bottom should be sealed to the oor with an
approved silicone type sealant. Make sure the
height above the Internal Strainer access cover
is enough to remove the strainer basket.
Inlet/Outlet Piping
The inlet and outlet piping connections require
exible sleeve pipe couplings. Keep outlet pip-
ing as straight as possible. Use only “sweep”
connections. Do not reduce the pipe sizing
on the outlet piping. Do not install “P” trap on
outlet connection of system. (Note: The system
already has a internal gas trap)
Flow Controls
Big Dipper systems are equipped with an internal
ow control located inside the inlet end of the
system. Verify its location and placement prior
to connecting the inlet piping.
Fill Unit With Water Before Applying
Power
Big Dipper systems, equipped with an electric
heating element, MUST be lled with water
before energizing the power to the system.
Failure to do so may damage the electric heating
element. These elements will NOT be replaced
under Thermaco’s Warranty.
Venting the Outlet
An outlet vent or approved vacuum breaker of
at least 1/2 the diameter of the system’s outlet
connection must be present as close as pos-
sible to the Big Dipper outlet to prevent possible
siphonage problems. Failure to provide a vent
for the system voids Thermaco’s Warranty for
the system.
For High Head Height Applications
Over Six (6) Feet (1.95 m)
Big Dipper systems are equipped with an
internal ow regulator located inside the inlet
end of the system. Verify its location and
placement prior to connecting the inlet pip-
ing. If your code requires a vertical type ow
regulator, an approved control with a ow rat-
ing matching the system’s ow rate should be
used. Note: When a Big Dipper is servicing
multiple xtures, some codes require separate
ow controls for each xture. See following
page for suggested high head height ow
regulation installation.
Do Not Use With Food Grinders, Potato
Peelers or Waste Disposal Units
If the system is connected to a Waste Disposal
Unit, Garbage Grinder or Potato Peeler, Ther-
maco’s Warranty will be void.
Note: Drawing for reference only.
Equipment must be installed in
compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations and codes, includ-
ing plumbing codes. Installation
should be performed by a qualied
plumber.

Big Dipper® IS System
Plumbing Installation
The following drawings show proposed venting for Big Dipper units in various situations. Check state or local
plumbing code to determine proper installation for your facility.
Sites with Upstream Facility Vents
Sites using facility vents upstream of the Big Dipper unit do not require the use of a vessel vent. In this case,
the open inlet design of the unit works in conjunction with the facility vent and upstream P-trap to facilitate air
movement into and out of the interior grease interceptor air space and prevents air bound conditions from occur-
ing.
Sites without Upstream Facility Vents or Other Air Relief
Installations without Upstream Facility Vents or other Air Relief require the use of the vessel vent (also referred to
as a chamber vent) to prevent air bound conditions. Thermaco provides a 1” NPT connection by which this vent
may be connected to the unit and connected to the facility vent.

Big Dipper® IS System
Plumbing Installation
Sometimes space restrictions require the installation of Big Dipper units in basement locations where signicant
head pressure becomes a factor. The Big Dipper®VFCA Vented Flow Control module provides an option for use
with installations where a signicant amount of head pressure is present (greater than 6 ft./1.95 m) or where ap-
plicable regulations require vented ow controls. A Vented Flow Control helps reduce problems associated with
high head pressure and helps slow the drainwater ow down. The VFCA kit contains an appropriate tting and
ow control orice.

Big Dipper Internal Strainer (IS) Models
Big Dipper Internal Strainer Series Models utilize one Push Button Digital
Time Controller. The Digital Control is located on the right side of the center
module (See Digital Control Operation Instructions). The Big Dipper should
only be plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong 115 VAC or 230 VAC
outlet. If possible, the power supply outlet for the Big Dipper should be
connected to an electrical circuit controlled by a ground fault circuit breaker.
One of the setting buttons should be illuminated to show the unit is
powered. If none of the setting buttons are illuminated, the unit is not
powered.
This Big Dipper unit is shipped from the Factory wired for Simultaneous
Operation. This means the Heater and Motor operate at the same time
under digital control. Continuous Heater Operation is where the Heater is
active at all times. To switch to alternative heating programming, please
contact a Thermaco representative for furher instructions.
Note: The Big Dipper unit will not operate when the lid is removed.

Any claim must be made in writing to Thermaco at 646 Greensboro Street, Asheboro, NC 27203 promptly after
discovery of the defect and within the applicable warranty period. The product must be delivered, prepaid, to Ther-
maco, together with proof of purchase, the serial number from which the item was removed and a return authoriza-
tion number issued by Thermaco. If Thermaco determines upon examination that the component is defective and
that the warranty conditions are met, Thermaco’s sole obligation under this warranty, and the purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy, is the repair or replacement, at Thermaco’s option, of the defective component, including parts
and labor. The replacement will be furnished F.O.B. point of shipment. If Thermaco determines that the component
is not defective or that the other conditions of this warranty are not met, then any return of such part to the purchaser

This warranty shall not cover any defect in otherwise covered products resulting directly or indirectly from: (i) failure
to properly install, operate or maintain the product in accordance with Thermaco’s instructions and procedures,
including, without limitation, use in excess of rated ow, operation without digital control, improper electrical service,
use to remove emulsied fats and oils or use that fails to comply with applicable laws, regulations or codes; (ii) dam-
age in transit, handling or installation; (iii) modications, adjustments, repairs, or alterations made by unauthorized
persons; or (iv) other causes not arising out of defects in workmanship or materials. Thermaco shall not be respon-
sible for damage to products resulting from vault ooding, sewer line back-up, pumping or lift station failure, ambient
water ow or other sources of water damage. This warranty does not cover equipment or parts not manufactured
by Thermaco. Purchaser’s costs relating to any service, adjustment, removal, repair, packing, or otherwise incurred
with respect to the defect prior to submission for warranty are the responsibility of purchaser.

regarding Thermaco products other than as set forth in this warranty. This statement of warranty supersedes any
quote, brochure, or other statement or document with respect to warranty of Thermaco products.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THERMACO, INC. MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WAR-
RANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHETHER OR NOT THERMACO HAD
KNOWLEDGE OF PURCHASER’S PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS OR NEEDS, OR WITH RESPECT TO ODOR
GENERATION OR OTHER INCIDENTALS RELATING TO USE OF THE PRODUCT.
The sole and exclusive remedy with respect to this warranty any other claim relating to defects or any other con-
dition or use of Thermaco products, however caused, and whether such claim is based upon warranty, contract,
tort, strict liability or any other theory, is LIMITED to the repair or replacement of the product, excluding labor or
any other cost to remove or install said the product or, at Thermaco’s option, repayment of the purchase price. IN
NO EVENT SHALL THERMACO, INC. BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING

SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER LOSS OR COST OF A SIMILAR TYPE. UNDER NO CIRCUM-
STANCES WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THERMACO FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION RELATED TO THE
PRODUCTS COVERED HEREBY EXCEED THE NET PURCHASE PRICE RECEIVED BY THERMACO FOR THE
PRODUCTS. Any action or suit by purchaser against Thermaco relating to Thermaco products must be brought
within one (1) year of the date of the invoices referenced above. The exclusions and limitations set forth herein are
separate and independent from any remedies which purchaser may have hereunder and shall be given full force
and effect whether or not any or all such remedies shall be deemed to have failed of their essential purpose.
