Mashing
After filling with the required volume of water, plug in to the mains supply and switch on. The display module should illuminate to indicate that power is being
supplied it. The current sensor temperature will be displayed. The set temperature of the thermostat is adjusted by momentarily pressing ‘P’. ‘SP’ will be
displayed alternating with the current set temperature. This is factory set to 0. Use the
▲
and
▼
buttons to adjust the temperature. The maximum and
minimum settings are 101 and 0 respectively. Set the display to 60 and then momentarily press ‘P’. The display will revert to showing the current water
temperature and the red ‘Output’ light in the upper left hand corner of the display will illuminate. The water will rapidly heat to 60°c at which point the
thermostat will switch the element off. Due to latent heat in the element, the temperature will continue rising before dropping back to 59.9°c when the
element will switch on again. After a few on/off cycles the temperature will stabilise to within approximately ±1°c of the set temperature. When you wish to
increase the temperature, momentarily press ‘P’ and adjust to the desired setting, remembering to press ‘P’ again after the setting has been changed. The use
of a mashing/sparging bag is strongly recommended to stop the possibility of grain caking and burning on the element. Always stir the mixture to ensure an
even temperature. If a mashing bag is not being used, the ingredients must be added SLOWLY over at least 5 minutes, stirring continuously. When adding
ingredients such as molasses, it is advisable to put the unit in ‘Standby Mode’ by pressing and holding
U
for 1 second. This will switch the element off. The
display will go blank and a red light will be shown in the lower right hand corner. Add the ingredients in the area opposite the element to further reduce the risk
of burning them onto the element. The module is brought out of ‘Standby Mode’ by pressing and holding
U
again for 1 second, when the previous set
temperature will be resumed and the display will again show the current water temperature.
BOILING AND SIMMERING
! CAUTION – boiling liquid is dangerous. The bin should be used on the floor. Do not fill to the top of the bin. Do not stand the bin on chairs or tables. Keep
children and pets well away. Remember that hot liquids will soften plastic and therefore extreme care must be taken not to knock the tap or element to
avoid the possibility of causing leaks.
To achieve a vigorous rolling boil, adjust the set temperature to the maximum 105°c by momentarily pressing ‘P’ and using the
▲
and
▼
buttons, remembering
to press ‘P’ again after the setting has been changed. The time taken to boil 5 gallons of cold water is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes, or approximately 30
minutes from mashing temperature. To simmer, the set temperature should be adjusted to between 97-99°c. You can leave the liquid to simmer for any length
of time. If the lid is fitted, ensure the air hole is kept clear to allow steam to escape.
CLEANING
Always remove the plug from the main supply before cleaning. The tap and element can be removed for cleaning, but you may find it easier to thoroughly rinse
out with clean water and wipe dry rather than disturb the rubber washers. The bin should always be sterilised before use. The control module MUST NOT be
immersed in water for cleaning.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The Appliance is fitted and tested with a standard 13 amp plug by the manufacturer. If the plug has been removed or needs replacing, proceed as follows:-
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire that is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or coloured red. The wire that is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is
marked with the letter E or coloured green. If a 13 Amp plug is being used, a 13 Amp fuse must be fitted whether in the plug or the adapter or at the
distribution board.
The supply cord is a Type Y attachment. If this is damaged, the complete control unit must be returned to the manufacturer or appointed agent. If the moulded
plug has been removed, it should be destroyed to prevent a risk of electric shock.
