Safety Instructions

• Read all the instructions carefully and keep this manual for future reference.
• Do not use the device if the cord or plug is damaged; it should be replaced before use.
• The machine is intended for use only with 220-240 V and 50/60 Hz. Do not use an adaptor as the wattage power of this device is high.
• Avoid overloading the electric supply.
• If the device requires extra power, do not use multi-outlets of under 13 A, and do not connect any other device to this outlet.
• Check the product’s rating label and make sure its voltage is fit for your outlet voltage before use.
• The device must only be used as intended. It must be operated safely and correctly under fault-free conditions. Ensure to check the proper conditions prior to each use.
• The appliance is only to be installed in locations where it is supervised.

Brewing Preparation

• The device must be positioned on a stable, secure and horizontal support structure prior to use.
• A full vessel contains boiling hot liquids and can weigh up to 40 kg (30 litres Brew Monk)/ 50 kg (50 litres Brew Monk). A horizontal positioning is a prerequisite for transfer pumping during the brewing process. Avoid an unsteady surface.
• The device may not be moved during the brewing process. The handles are only meant for transporting the device in an empty state.
• It is imperative to keep children and animals away from the device while it is in operation. Remember boiling water is very dangerous.
• Always clean all the parts of your brewing equipment, hygiene is imperative to get good brewing results.
• Before use, it is advisable to heat a quantity of hot water in the boiler to clean the brewing equipment by using a proper cleaning agent (Chemipro® Wash).

Circulation Pipe Assembly and Pump Information

• We advise not to run the pump without water. The boiler must be filled with water before switching on the pump.
• We recommend using the pump during mashing process.
• Before switching on the pump, make sure to install the curved pipe (11). Assemble the curved pipe (11) by placing it on top of the circulation pipe (2). Check that the seal ring is installed and lock the curved pipe (11) in place by pressing down the two handles. If you want to use the glass lid during mashing, you will have to place the lid (5) before assembling the curved pipe (11). The curved pipe (11) should first be inserted through the hole in the lid (5).
• Adjust the flow rate using the blue valve on the circulation pipe for correct circulation speed. If the pump speed is too fast, the grain basket (8) will overflow down the central pipe, and the bottom of the boiler may run dry and cause ingredients to burn and overheat the element.
• The blue valve, on the circulation pipe, in horizontal position closes the ball valve. The blue valve, on the circulation pipe, in the vertical position opens the ball valve.
• Switch off the pump when you close the blue valve for longer than 5 seconds.
• Always close the blue valve and switch off the pump before removing the curved pipe (11).
• Do not run the pump during wort boiling.
• It is not recommended to use the pump for pumping the wort after cooling, as there is no filter on the pump inlet. This can cause brew debris to enter the pump, potentially blocking and damaging the system.

Bazooka Filter Assembly
Attach the bazooka filter (12) on the male thread inside the Brew Monk using the connector and screw the bazooka filter on (see pictures below).
