Maintenance / Cleaning
Important:
The Tower LTE™ Modular Controller Stand and accessories require routine maintenance after use. Before
cleaning, unplug and disconnect the BrewCommander™ and all accessories from any and all power sources.
Caution:
The Tower LTE™ Modular Controller Stand and the BrewCommander™ brewhouse control can be cleaned
with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never spray the BrewCommander™ controller directly with any liquid.
Caution:
NEVER submerge the temperature sensor in any liquids!
The RipTide™ pump head and temperature sensor fitting should be cleaned after each use with a cleaner such as Five
Star Chemicals’ PBW, following all manufacturer’s instructions. Disassembly of the pump head and temperature sensor
fitting is not necessary for every cleaning. PBW or similar cleaning solution, subsequent rinse water, and sanitizer, such
as StarSan, can be recirculated to facilitate easier cleaning and sanitation of the Tower LTE Modular Controller Stand’s
plumbing, however, the pump head assembly and fittings should be disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled every
five to six brew sessions. Refer to the RipTide™ manual for information on assembly and disassembly.
