Cleaning
The RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater will require cleaning after use. First confirm the custom
molded plug is disconnected from the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater and is disconnected
from any power source. Use hot water and Five Star Chemical’s Powdered Brewery Wash or similar
detergent with a scrub brush or ScotchBrite™ scouring pad to remove any heavy soil deposits.
Periodically remove the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater from the lid to remove build-up of
mineral deposits. If you brew with particularly hard water, you may need to use a weak acid, such as
distilled white vinegar, to assist with removing mineral deposits. The terminal pins of the RIMS
Rocket™ electric immersion heater can tolerate incidental contact with water in the course of cleaning,
however, never immerse or soak the terminal pins of the RIMS Rocket™ in water or cleaning solutions.
Before and after each use, inspect the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater, custom molded plug,
cable, and connectors for wear or damage. If any of the above parts show signs of wear or damage,
discontinue use and contact your Blichmann Engineering™ authorized retailer for replacement parts.
Warning:
ALWAYS make sure the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater is disconnected from all
power sources before cleaning.
Warning:
NEVER immerse or soak the terminal pins of the RIMS Rocket™ in water or cleaning
solutions. Doing so can cause permanent damage to the heater and create an unsafe condition which
can result in personal property damage, injury, electrocution or death. ALWAYS allow the RIMS
Rocket™ electric recirculation heater to thoroughly dry after cleaning and before reinstalling.
Caution:
Never use chlorine bleach or H-Cl acid to clean your RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation
heater. Pitting in the surface of the heater coil and/or bulkhead fittings caused by the use of products
containing chlorine or H-Cl acid is not covered under the warranty.
