Preparing the Coolant
Depending on the circulating coolant tube length, you will need approximately 250-350ml of
liquid.
It is possible to operate with just water, but there is a chance of blockage due to ice forming in
the cooling unit.
To avoid ice forming, it is recommended to use a mixture of glycol and water made with 3 to
4% glycol
e.g. mix 330ml water with 10 to 14 ml glycol.
NOTE: Although glycol is recommended to protect against
freezing, glycol is an inefficient thermal conductor, and using a
coolant mixture with too high a ratio of glycol will reduce
efficiency.
We recommend a ratio of 3 to 4% glycol to water.
Priming the Pump
Do not operate the unit with the pump running dry for extended
periods as this will dramatically shorten the life of the pump.
The pump starts when the Temperature Control Panel (STC-1000)
is powered on.
Before applying power, ensure you have coolant ready.
Using a flow indicator is recommended to show that coolant
is flowing correctly.
1. Position the Thermentor King roughly
level with the beer/wort vessel (or
even a bit higher to get started).
2. Unscrew the black cap off the
priming reservoir .
3. Fill the priming reservoir with coolant,
without overflowing it.
4. Connect the unit to power and power
it on.
5. If the Temperature Control Panel does
not light up, press and hold the
power button until the Temperature
Control Panel turns
ON .
You should hear the integral pump start up. It may sound strongly as there may not
yet be enough liquid to fill the coolant circuit.
6. IMPORTANT - Check that the temperature is set between 18 - 25°C (64.4 - 77°F).
See the section titled “ Setting the Temperature and Other Settings ”
7. Slowly pour more coolant mixture into the priming reservoir.
You should be able to hear the pump starting to move the coolant.
8. Continue to top-up the priming reservoir, without overflowing it.
You should be able to observe the coolant level drop as the coolant circuit fills.
