Dear Customer,

Congratulations on the purchase of your beer dispenser. You will now be able to enjoy cool, draught beer in the comfort of your own home.

There are numerous beers to choose from available in 5 litre party kegs.

Before using the dispenser, please read the instructions for use and safety information.

Installation

WARNING!

Before fitting or removing any parts, always disconnect the plug from the mains socket!

1. Remove the beer dispenser from the packaging.
2. Place the beer dispenser on a stable, horizontal, level and non-slip surface. Ensure that there is at least 10cm of space around the dispenser for optimal operation.

1. Fit the collecting tray/drip tray. Ensure that the collecting tray/drip tray does not protrude beyond the surface.

1. Fit the silicon ring in the threaded part of the tap. Screw the tap tool below the dispensing unit.

1. Attach the tap handle. When fitting the handle, ensure that the hole in the bottom of the handle fits exactly on the metal pin on the top of the tap.

2. Clean the dispensing unit as described in the instructions in Chapter "Dismantling and cleaning the beer dispenser".

3. Check that the main switch at the back of the dispenser is set to "0" and plug the plug into the main socket.
4. Set the main switch to "I".
5. Check the LED indicator to ensure that the dispenser is on.

Preparation

1. Any standard 5 litre party keg can be used.

ATTENTION!

If the keg has been shaken (transport, etc.), the beer must be allowed to stand for a suffi cient time prior to use.

1. Cool the 5 litre party keg prior to use. The optimal drinking temperature is about 6 - 8^ .The beer from a warmer keg is less refreshing. Heavy foaming can also result. To cool the keg in the beer dispenser, it is recommended to place it in the connected dispenser the day before. At a keg temperature of about 23^, it is recommended to wait 16 hours before pulling the first glasses of beer.

i NOTE:

• The cooling time in the refrigerator is between 6 and 12 hours depending on the brand and capacity due to the sophisticated cooling technology. This allows the cooling to process to be accelerated. Storing the 5 litre party keg in a refrigerator offers the advantage of always having a second keg ready to use.

ATTENTION!

• Never cool the party keg in a freezer as it can burst. Shock cooling can impair the quality of beer.

• Depending on the 5 litre party keg stopper, it may be necessary to use the supplied tools for removing the stopper and the supplied universal adapter. Described in the following is when the use of tools is necessary and how these should be used.

ATTENTION!

Before removing the stopper, always first vent the keg as stated on the keg and allow to stand for a sufficient period so that the foam does not escape from the vent opening.

3.1 Rubber stopper

Kegs with rubber stoppers are easy to tap. Rubber stoppers do not require the use of any tools or adapters.

3.2 Combination stopper

The combination stopper is identical to the conventional aerator stopper. The advantage of this stopper shows just before tapping.

The combination stopper must first be aerated and subsequently removed by firmly pulling on the stopper cover. The combination stopper can be easily tapped after removing the stopper cover as described under Item 4 of this chapter. No tools or adapters are required.

3.3 Aerator stopper

Like the combination stopper, the aerator stopper cover must initially be removed.

The procedure is then as follows. Once the aerator stopper has been identified as such, the aforementioned auxiliary tool must be used. Proceed as described below.

3.4 Plastic aerator stopper

The plastic aerator stopper can be recognised, as with the rubber stopper, on purchasing the keg. However, the plastic aerator stopper cannot be tapped without using the auxiliary tool. Remove the stopper cover and proceed as described below in order to make the keg ready to use.

To remove the stopper, apply the auxiliary tool below the sealing ring and squeeze the two handles together until the stopper is cut through.

I NOTE:

The lower half of the stopper which falls into the beer is tasteless and harmful.

Once the stopper has been removed, the supplied universal adapter can be inserted into the bunghole in the keg and the following carried out.

ATTENTION!

Do not dispose of the universal adapter after emptying the keg, but remove and clean with warm water and a small amount of mild washing up liquid and retain for reuse.

Remove the adapter by gripping the edge of the rubber ring and pulling firmly towards you. Hold the keg firmly with the other hand to ensure that it does not tip over.

1. Take the dispensing unit and place it on the 5 litre beer keg, which should have been allowed to stand for minimum one hour so that no beer sprays out off the bunghole when the keg is tapped.

For this purpose, the tap located at the bottom of the dispensing unit must be moistened with water.

Subsequently place it vertically on the tap opening of the stopper/universal adapter and push it downwards firmly and evenly into the keg.

First attach the dispensing unit to the back of the keg. Push down on the front of the unit until it clicks in place. The dispensing unit is now ready to use.

i NOTE:

After tapping the keg, the beer can be used for one week. A precondition is that the keg remains in the dispenser; the dispenser must remain on with a full CO2 cartridge fitted.

ATTENTION!

Before using the 5 litre party keg, always check the best before date!
- Ensure that the keg lid is not dented so that the clamps of the dispensing unit can grip under the edge of the lid.

1. Open the dispenser lid by pressing the lid open button.

1. Lift the dispensing unit (including keg) into the cooling chamber of the dispenser (using the handle provided.

1. Attach the end of the dispensing unit to the CO2 feed valve.

ATTENTION!

Never fi II liquid into the CO2 feed valve.

1. Close the dispenser lid so that it locks with a click. This opens the CO2 feed.

1. Open the CO2 chamber cover. The CO2 cartridge holder swings out automatically from the dispenser.

1. Screw the CO2 cartridge holder in place.

1. Place a 16g CO2 cartridge in the CO2 cartridge holder.

ATTENTION!

When a C02 cartridge is fitted in the dispenser, only close the lid when the 5 litre party keg is in the dispenser or the pressure regulator is set to "0" otherwise the entire C02 will empty into the dispenser.

1. Screw the CO2 cartridge holder quickly, evenly and tightly on to the CO2 cartridge holder. This opens the CO2 cartridge.

i NOTE

The C02 cartridge holder does not need to be fully tightened after being screwed in place. Subsequently push the C02 chamber cover shut.

1. Select the pressure appropriate for the beer at the pressure regulator. As different beer varieties are carbonated to a differing extent, different pressures (saturation pressure) are required to ensure the quality of the respective beer. If a beer is dispensed with insufficient pressure, for example, it can make the beer taste fl at, whilst too much pressure can make it too fi zzy. If the beer should be too fi zzy or fl at, simply adjust the pressure accordingly. To be noted is that the CO2 content in the beer initially changes over the course of time. The following table serves for adjusting the beer dispenser to the type of beer you have chosen and your personal taste.

Pressure regulator setting

Beer type

C02 content in %

Pilsner about 0.5

Kolsch about 0.5

Altbier about 0.5

Wheat beer

about 0.6 -0.8

Required pressure in bar (at about 5^ )

about 0.8 -0.9

about 0.8 -0.9

about 0.8 -0.9

about 1.2 -1.8

Operation

ATTENTION!

Before switching of the beer dispenser, always ensure that no 5 litre party keg is present in the dispenser as the beer in the keg becomes warm and is no longer fresh.

1. Preparing glasses

Wash the glasses in hot water with a small amount of washing/up liquid. Rinse the glasses thoroughly each time before dispensing with cold, clear water.

Ensure that all grease and residues are removed completely to avoid impairing foam formation.

i NOTE:

The best results can be achieved by using glasses exclusively for beer to ensure that no residues from fat containing drinks (e.g. milk) are present.

2. Dispensing beer

Hold the glass under the beer tap at an angle. The tip of the outlet tube should not come into contact with the glass as this can impair the foam formation.

i NOTE:

The foam produced when dispensing beer can be influenced by changing the angle of the glass.

Pull down the tap handle in one motion.

i NOTE:

If the tap is only partly open, the beer may foam excessively as it is not able to flow out freely.
- The tap locks in position when the tap is fully open. This enables several glasses of beer to be dispensed simultaneously.

Allow the beer to run down the inside of the glass and slowly straighten the glass while dispensing until it is upright towards the end.

When the foam reaches the rim of the glass, close the beer tap by pushing back the beer tap handle.

Place the glass on the drip plate and wait (about 1 minute) until the foam has settled. Ensure that the glass is not located directly under the beer tap so that no drops fall into the bear foam.

Repeat the dispensing process until the beer and foam are in the correct proportion. This is the case when the head is about two fingers's breadth high and slightly over the rim of the glass.

Dismantling beer dispenser

To clean the beer dispenser and/or to replace the keg, it is necessary to remove the dispensing unit from the dispenser. The procedure for this is as follows:

1. When the installed keg is empty, first remove the CO2 cartridge from the CO2 chamber by opening the same and unscrewing the CO2 cartridge holder.

CAUTION FROSTBITE:

• A residual amount of CO2 may still be present in the cartridge, which suddenly empties and results in the formation of ice.

i NOTE:

It is recommended to initially fit the CO2 cartridge when preparing the next keg so that the cartridge cannot accidentally empty if the dispenser lid is closed without a 5 litre party keg being present in the dispenser.

1. Press the lid opener.
2. Detach the end of the dispensing unit from the CO2 feed valve and remove the keg together with the dispensing unit using the handle provided.

i NOTE

The silicon sealing ring for the CO2 feed valve is a wearing part. If excessive CO2 losses are noticed during use, replace the silicon sealing ring with the supplied spare seal.

Remove the clamps from the rim of the keg and pull the dispensing unit out of the keg quickly and evenly. As the beer tap may not be moist during extraction, removal may take some effort.

The dispensing unit can now be cleaned as described in the chapter "Cleaning" and subsequently installed on a new keg as described in the chapter "Preparations".

ATTENTION!

Never remove the dispensing unit from the keg when pressurised. To change the keg before it is empty, remove the keg together with the dispensing unit from the dispenser. Position it in such a way that the beer is able to flow out into a suitable container and pull the tap handle until no more beer is dispensed.

Cleaning

In order to keep the quality of the dispensed beer at a consistently high level, it is important to clean the dispenser thoroughly. The cleaning intervals are specified in the following.

ATTENTION!

Never use scouring pads, aggressive scouring agents, acetone, benzine, acids, thinner, vinegar or similar for cleaning purposes.

Cleaning after each use

Both the collecting tray and drip tray should be cleaned after each use of the dispenser to ensure perfect hygiene.

For this purpose, remove both the collecting tray and drip tray from the dispenser and pour the collected beer into the drain. Subsequently clean both parts with hot water, using a small amount of washing/up liquid if necessary.

ATTENTION!

The parts are not dishwasher proof.

It is recommended to also clean the tube at the front of the beer tap after each use.

For this purpose, remove the cover at the front below the beer tap and remove the tube. Subsequently rinse out the tube with warm water.

ATTENTION!

If no beer is dispensed over several days, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the tube. The supplied cleaning balloon should be used for this purpose as follows:

Position the tube so that the liquid
is able to flow out while cleaning.
- Insert the tip of the cleaning balloon into the tube in the arrowed direction and place the end of the opposite tube in a suitable container with warm water.

• Thoroughly rinse out the tube repeatedly by firmly squeezing the balloon.
• Refi t the tube and close the cover.

i NOTE:

It is recommended to use hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. In this case, the tube should be rinsed again with clear, warm water in order not to prevent impairment of the taste and foam formation.

Cleaning after emptying a 5 litre party keg

Each time a keg is emptied, the dispensing unit must be thoroughly cleaned in addition to the collecting tray, drip tray and tube. The cleaning balloon should be used for this purpose.

• Position the dispensing unit so that the liquid is able to flow out while cleaning.

• Remove the cover located at the front below the beer tap.

• Open the beer tap and fi x it in this position by pulling the tap handle until it locks.
• Insert the tip of the cleaning balloon into the dispensing tube in the arrowed direction and place the end of the opposite tube in a suitable container with warm water.
• Thoroughly rinse out the dispensing tube by firmly squeezing the balloon.

i NOTE:

It is recommended to use hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. In this case, the dispensing tube should be rinsed again with clear, warm water in order not to prevent impairment of the taste and foam formation.
- Disinfectant cleaners in powder form for beer and drinks systems are available from off-licences, which are ideal for cleaning the beer dispenser.

ATTENTION!

• The dispensing unit is not dishwasher proof.
  If the dispenser is not used for an extended period, it should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand.

Regular cleaning

Regularly clean the cooling chamber and all surfaces of the dispenser with a moist cloth and small amount of mild washing-up liquid.

ATTENTION!

• Before cleaning the dispenser, always disconnect the plug from the mains socket and never immerse the dispenser in water!
• The cooling chamber must not be filled with liquid as this can cause permanent damage!
