CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Beer Brew Automatic™ after use:
After use you should empty the brew kettle of any remaining
trub. Use warm water and a soft kitchen brush only to gently
clean the equipment. You can also use a PBW cleaner to soften
any burnt material in the bottom of the brew kettle.
Add about 5 litres of water, switch the brew program selector
to “lll”, and press “On” on the brew controller display. Connect
the whirlpool arm. When the water is boiling, open the riser pipe
valve and switch on the pump and let it run for about 5 minutes
in order to clean the equipment pipes and pump, then switch the
equipment off. Empty the brew kettle, dry of the equipment and
store until your next brewing session.
Note: do not use a hard brush as it can create scratch marks on
the equipment surfaces.
Warning: Do not submerge the base of the brew
kettle in water.
Cleaning the pump:
Sometimes some material can get into the pump, preventing
the impeller inside the pump front casing from running. In case
of clogging you may need to take the pump out for manual
cleaning.
Ensure that the Beer Brew Automatic™ is empty and cooled
down to approximately room temperature. Disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet and place the brew kettle upside
down.
Remove the screws holding the bottom cover plate, using a
Phillips screwdriver.
Disconnect the power cord quick connector (1). Loosen the two
hose clamps (2 and 3) and remove the hoses from the pump.
Unscrew the screw attaching the 2 ground cables (4). Loosen
the 2 screws holding the pump bracket (5). You can now remove
the pump.
To access the impeller you need to unscrew the screws holding
the pump front casing. Lift the front casing off to clean it on the
inside. The impeller, the impeller shaft and the O-ring should
also be removed for cleaning.
Use the procedure for removing but in reverse order to
assemble all parts. Ensure that all parts in the pump housing are
properly attached before tightening the screws. Ensure that
both ground cables are attached to the fastening screw (4).
