As operators start getting customers back up and running following emergency shutdown, they may be faced
with an overwhelming task. This document is to help aid with common parts that may need to be replaced
and provide some guidance on what to look for when restarting various models.
ACE, IA, FC, AK, AKH, R/L, 20:1, GX, GK, KB and NK Brewers:
Please read in entirety before restarting equipment!
Treat any recovery from emergency shutdown with more detail than a fresh install. Water levels could be
depleted and in a dry fire status requiring tanks be filled before powering up (refer to installation and operation
manuals if required for specific models). If the unit is not heating after startup, the high limit could be tripped
and requires reset.
Newco does not recommend poly lines, as they can be transparent which allows light to possibly create algae
growth in the water line feeding machine if used. These lines may need to be replaced or sanitized before
feeding water into the equipment. Refer to separate attached document regarding filters (Pentair) and start
up procedures before turning water lines back on. Water left in equipment can be drained and replaced.
Further evaluation may be required to identify if sanitation is required.
If wanting to drain tanks, disassembly is required. Contact technical support group for assistance if not familiar
with process. Open tank systems (Ace, IA, FC, KB and R/L) can all be turned over to drain after removing top
cover and tank lid. Disconenct machine from power and water supply line before emptying water. Closed
tank models (AK, 20:1, GX, NK, GK) can require more disassembly to drain. Check for any discoloration or odor
in the dispensed water indicating that sanitization is required.
If equipment was started up without draining, cycle the brewer 3-4 times to cycle water that was in brewer.
Further inspection inside tank might be required to identify if there is any sanitation required. The baskets
and dispensers used should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized especially if left with product.
After restarting equipment, check for any discoloration or odor indication sanitization being required. Below
are common part numbers for heating circuit components and baskets.
Refer to sanitizing document for regular external cleaning to prevent surface contamination during normal
operation. 70% alcohol wipes are sufficient.
