Frequently Asked Questions - Beertender VB2158 KRUPS

How to install my Krups Beertender VB2158?
Place the dispenser on a flat and stable surface. Plug it into a 220-240 V outlet. Insert the beer keg into the refrigerated compartment. Connect the draft hose and the CO2 regulator. Wait until the temperature reaches 2-8 °C before dispensing.
What is the ideal temperature for serving beer?
The ideal temperature is between 2 and 8 °C. Set the thermostat to the desired position. Beer that is too cold or too hot alters the taste and foam.
How to clean the dispensing system?
Unplug the appliance. Disassemble the nozzle and the hose. Clean them with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe and reassemble. Perform this cleaning at least once a week.
Why does the beer foam too much?
Several possible causes: temperature too high, excessive CO2 pressure, beer too carbonated, or dirty hose. Check the temperature (2-8 °C), reduce the pressure, clean the hose. Serve in a tilted glass.
Can I use beer kegs of all brands?
Yes, the Krups Beertender VB2158 accepts standard 5-liter kegs with a compatible connector. Check that the valve system is suitable. Some brands may require an adapter.
What to do if the dispenser no longer cools?
Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the thermostat is not set to 'off'. If the compressor does not start, contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
How to change the CO2 cartridge?
Unscrew the used regulator. Screw on a new food-grade CO2 cartridge. Ensure the seal is in place. Gradually open the regulator. One cartridge lasts approximately 10 to 15 kegs.
The beer has a metallic taste, what to do?
This may be due to a dirty hose or insufficient descaling. Clean the circuit with a specific product. Rinse thoroughly. Replace the hose if necessary.
What is the power consumption?
The power is about 100 W. In continuous operation, consumption is about 0.1 kWh per hour. The dispenser operates in cycles, which reduces average consumption.
Where to find spare parts for the VB2158?
Spare parts (hose, nozzle, seals) are available on the Krups website or from authorized dealers. Use the model reference to order. The repairability index is 8/10.

BeerTender Keg

CAUTIONARY NOTES

To obtain draft beer of optimal quality you should keep two basic factors in mind, the temperature of the beer and hygienic conditions.

  1. Pre-chill the beer keg to prevent excess foam. Always use a chilled keg. If you fail to chill the keg sufficiently too much foam will be produced when you start to pour your beer.
  2. Always clean the appliance after use. Beer is a natural product that can spoil. Therefore, you should always keep the appliance clean to maintain the quality of the beer dispensed and prevent unpleasant odours (see "Cleaning"). The dispensing spout should be cleaned before a new keg is installed and the drip tray and grate should be emptied after every use - fig. 3.

■ You should also follow these other rules when using the BeerTender system:

  1. Do not attempt to chill a BeerTender Keg in your freezer. Just like glass bottles, a keg may burst when placed in the freezer. Moreover, freezing diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29.
  2. Use your BeerTender in a place where the temperature is between 12°C and 30°C. At colder temperatures the appliance cooling system could be damaged, whereas at warmer temperatures the system will not be able to reach the ideal beer dispensing temperature. Store the beer keg at room temperature - fig. 4.

! WARNING! To avoid overheating, keep the BeerTender Keg out of direct sunlight - fig. 30.

  1. Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when lifting it - fig. 5.

! WARNING! Do not use the handle or power cord to lift the BeerTender - fig. 31.

USING THE KEG

■ Make sure that you chill the keg before using it. If you fail to chill the keg sufficiently too much foam will be produced when you start to pour beer. ■ Please also be aware that the first glass that you pour from every new keg will contain mostly foam. Draught beer in a bar behaves in exactly the same way! ■ The BeerTender Keg "Compatible BeerTender" features a patented system for storing and dispensing beer. It guarantees beer of higher, long-lasting quality and a BeerTender system that is very easy and pleasant to use - fig. 6. !IMPORTANT: before installing a keg inside the appliance, check the "best before end" date shown at the bottom of the keg. This date is a reliable indication if the keg has been stored at room temperature. ■ The use of kegs "Compatible BeerTender" in the BeerTender system necessitate the use of beer tubes - fig. 7. A bag of 5 tubes is delivered with the BeerTender appliance. To receive additional tubes, please contact our customer service or go to BeerTender Internet site. (See details at the end of this manual)

KRUPS Beertender VB2158 - USING THE KEG - 1

! WARNING: contents under pressure. Do not shake or drop. Do not expose to sunlight or temperatures above 30°C. Even when the keg is empty, do not force it open and do not expose to flame or fire.

GETTING THE BEERTENDER READY

KRUPS Beertender VB2158 - GETTING THE BEERTENDER READY - 1

FOR YOUR OWN AND OTHERS' SAFETY, PLEASE KEEP METICULOUSLY TO THE "SAFETY RULES".

COOLING THE BEERTENDER KEG

■ BeerTender kegs must be chilled before use. ■ Using a BeerTender keg that is too warm will result in too much foam. ■ There are two ways to chill the BeerTender Keg:

  1. inside the BeerTender (see "Using the BeerTender"). It will take about 15 hours to cool the keg down to 4°C if the BeerTender Keg and the appliance are stabilized at a room temperature of 20°C.
  2. in a refrigerator. This will take about 12 hours depending on the cooling capacity of your refrigerator.

Tip: we recommend that you always keep an extra BeerTender Keg in the refrigerator. That way you will always have a chilled keg available.

We also recommend that you switch the appliance on at least one hour before intended use to get full benefit from the pre-cooling of the keg.

!WARNING! Do not attempt to chill the keg in a freezer. Just like glass bottles, a keg may burst when placed in the freezer. Moreover, freezing diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29.

INSTALLING THE BEERTENDER APPLIANCE

■ The original packing is designed and made to protect the appliance. It is recommended that you keep it for future transport. ■ Remove the BeerTender appliance from the packaging and place it on a dry, clean, level, stable surface that is sufficiently large to accommodate it. ■ The temperature of the room must be between 12°C and 30°C. - fig. 4. ■ Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure the drip tray is properly fitted and positioned. - Do not install the appliance near sources of heat or in places exposed to direct sunlight. i Note: keep in mind that during use the drip tray will have to be emptied and rinsed regularly. When the BeerTender system is not in use, you can remove the drip tray and place it elsewhere to save space. !WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting on.

■ After installing the BeerTender appliance you must clean the dispensing spout; this is the only part of the appliance that will come into contact with the beer - fig. 8. It is essential that you wash the dispensing spout before using the appliance for the first time and at least every time a new keg is connected inside the BeerTender system. This part can also be washed in a dishwasher - fig. 9. ■ To clean the spout, remove it from its housing by turning it clockwise. After washing the spout, screw it back into place.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Electricity can be dangerous! Therefore you must always scrupulously abide by the safety rules.

■ The appliance must be plugged into a suitable, properly installed electric socket. ■ The voltage of the appliance has been set in the factory. Check that the mains voltage matches the voltage indicated on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance. ■ Make sure the main switch on the rear of the machine is set to "0" before connecting the BeerTender to the mains. Insert the plug into a socket with the correct voltage and turn on the appliance by moving the main switch to "I" - fig. 10.

The appliance will immediately start cooling the inner chamber as soon as the main switch is set to "I".

Note: the BeerTender may only be used with BeerTender Kegs "Compatible BeerTender" containing beer sold by the Heineken group. ■ The appliance can only be used if it contains a BeerTender Keg and only if the main switch is set to "I". ■ The LED on the left side of the control panel, when illuminated, tells you that the appliance is switched on. ■ You can open the appliance by pressing the handle on top of the lid. When the handle is released, you can lift the lid up - fig. 11-12.

Note: do not force the lid beyond the set opening position as this could damage it.

■ When the lid is completely open, insert a BeerTender Keg as shown in the figure - fig. 13.

■ Remove the tap cover by pulling it upward as shown on the drawing - fig. 14.

Note: this cover can be removed for cleaning.

■ Take the tap of the BeerTender Keg "Compatible BeerTender" and fit it into place.

Note: Do not try to actuate the tap of the BeerTender Keg by hand.

■ Position the beer tube as shown on drawing - fig. 15.

■ Put the tap cover back in place.

Note: the tap cover cannot be closed if the BeerTender Keg tap is not fitted properly.

■ Make sure the tap handle is positioned in the tapping mechanism before the lid is closed.

■ Make sure that the handle is positioned as shown on the drawing to avoid damaging the beer tube - fig. 16.

Carefully close the appliance lid - fig. 17.

CONTROL PANEL

Two LEDs on the top of the lid provide important indications:

Green ON LED on the left of the panel: when lit, it indicates that the appliance is operating - fig. 18.

Green beer-temperature LED on the right side of the panel: when the BeerTender Keg has reached the ideal temperature, the LED switches on and the appliance goes into “stand-by” cooling mode - fig. 19.

SOUND EMITTED BY THE BEERTENDER APPLIANCE

The cooling function of the BeerTender produces sound. The BeerTender features a cooling system which controls the temperature of the BeerTender Keg. There are two cooling modes:

  1. Stand-by cooling corresponds to the main operating conditions. In this mode, the cooling fan produces a barely audible noise.
  2. Active cooling is triggered when the temperature inside the cooling chamber is too high. As soon as the beer keg reaches the right temperature, the appliance will switch back to stand-by cooling mode.

DISPENSING BEER

Note: always check the “best before end” date shown on the bottom of the BeerTender Keg. Do not use the BeerTender Keg beyond this date.

Note: the beer must be dispensed into suitable containers; the dispensing function is started and stopped manually by the user.

Step 1 – Preparing a glass

In order to obtain perfect draft beer, it is essential to start with a clean, cool glass. Rinse the glass in cold water before dispensing beer (the colder the glass the better) - fig. 20.

Tip: we recommend that you use your beer glasses for drinking beer alone. Some beverages, like milk, leave a small residue in the glass which will reduce the head on your beer.

Step 2 – dispensing beer

Tip: Look at the control panel to check that the beer has reached the right drinking temperature. ■ Position a glass beneath the tap, holding it at an angle of 45 degrees (see picture) - fig. 21. ■ Firmly and quickly pull the handle down as far as it will go. Let the beer run into the glass. - Avoid contact between the dispensing spout, the glass and the beer already in the glass. This could cause excessive foaming.

i Note: every time you install a new keg in the BeerTender, the first glass of beer will fill up with too much foam. When this occurs, allow the glass to stand on the drip tray. As soon as the foam has settled, continue filling the glass.

i Note: too much foam will also be generated if the tap handle is opened just slightly or slowly; several beers can be dispensed in sequence when the tap handle is open. The beer will flow out more slowly after the first glass has been filled.

Step 3 – Beer in the glass

■ Place the glass of beer on the drip tray and wait for the foam to settle - fig. 22.

Step 4 – The quality of a glass of beer

■ An excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:

  1. a head of about 3 cms;
  2. a head evenly distributed around the wall of the glass that adheres to the surface of the beer;
  3. a crystal clear colour, with bubbles of carbon dioxide escaping from the sides and bottom of the glass;
  4. a temperature of 4°C to 6°C (in the glass).

i Note: to prevent excessive foam from forming, always use a pre-chilled BeerTender Keg and a clean glass rinsed in cold water.

CLEANING

In addition to routine cleaning, the BeerTender should be cleaned after daily use and when you install a new BeerTender Keg.

!WARNING! Do not dry the appliance and/or its components in a microwave and/or conventional oven.

CLEANING AFTER DAILY USE

■ The drip tray and grate should be cleaned after every use. Remove the grate before emptying out the drip tray. The grate must be set back in place during normal use of the BeerTender - fig. 23. i Note: You can wash the drip tray with warm water and a mild detergent. The drip tray is also dishwasher safe. !WARNING! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol.

CLEANING AFTER INSTALLATION OF A NEW BEERTENDER KEG

- When you install a new BeerTender Keg you must clean the dispensing spout. The spout is the only part of the appliance that comes into contact with the beer - fig. 24.

It is essential to wash the spout either normally by hand or in a dishwasher.

Note: the dispensing spout comprises plastic and metal parts that are permanently joined together and do not pose any problems of hygiene. Do not attempt to separate these parts.

■ The beer dispensing mechanism must be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild detergent - fig. 25.

Note: use a piece of cotton to thoroughly clean all the parts - fig. 26.

!WARNING! Do not attempt to clean the mechanism using hard and/or sharp objects: it is a precision component and you will risk damaging it.

ROUTINE CLEANING

■ Clean the appliance cooling chamber on a regular basis using a damp cloth and mild detergent - fig. 27. ! WARNING! Do not fill the cooling chamber with water as this may result in permanent damage. Never use aggressive agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol. ■ The tap cover can be removed. Clean it with warm water and a mild detergent. ! WARNING! Do not wash the tap cover in a dishwasher, as it could be damaged and lose its shine. Never use aggressive agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol.
