An assembly for connection to the drain of a cooking appliance which diverts low volume flow efficient from the drain is disclosed. The assembly includes a defining a main flow channel. An auxiliary exit port is connected to the pipe in such a way that the low volume flow will be diverted from the pipe into A hot water entry pipe port is also connected to the pipe and is en connection with a hot water source which provides a flow of hot water into the pipe. Additionally, a solenoid valve regulates the flow of hot water into the pipe.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A process for diverting low volume effluent generated by a cooking process from a main flow channel so that periodic high volume flows may be unobstructed wherein the low volume flow is comparable to the flow of melted grease and condensed steam from a cooking operation

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A process for diverting low volume effluent generated by a cooking process from a main flow channel so that periodic high volume flows may be unobstructed wherein the low volume flow is comparable to the flow of melted grease and condensed steam from a cooking operation and the high volume flow is comparable to the flow of water used by a cooking appliance for cleaning, said process comprising:(a) periodically purging a cooking appliance with a high volume flow of water to remove residue in the appliance;(b) draining the high volume flow through a main flow channel of a drain assembly connected to the cooking appliance;(c) between said periodic purgings, draining a low volume liquid flow of effluent through the drain assembly connected to the cooking appliance; and(d) within the drain assembly, automatically diverting the low volume liquid flow of effluent to a path divergent from said main flow channel without physically adjusting or manipulating the drain assembly.
