Tube spout TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Voltage rating See plate under appliance Power rating See plate under appliance Insulation class II Cooling class N Dimensions (l x h x d) in mm 455x235x326 (without drip tray) Weight 6.8 kg Power cord length 0.9 m Operating conditions 80% relative humidity min: 12 °C, max: 32 °C Safety mechanisms Pressure switch in air circuit Thermal protection Electrical protection (fuses) KR_MACHINE A BIERE_THE SUB_NC00120880_NC00120880 27/08/13 10:35 Page1718 INSTALLATION THE SUB should be used indoors at a room temperature of between 12°C and 32°C. The original packaging has been designed to protect the appliance. We recommend that you keep it for future transport. Take THE SUB out of its packaging, along with the drip tray and the tap handle, and place them on a flat, dry surface that is clean and large enough (1-2). Do not install THE SUB near heat sources or in places that are directly exposed to sunlight. Fit the drip tray (depending on model) and the drip grate to the front of THE SUB. On certain models, a magnet is in place to attach the drip tray to THE SUB. Plug THE SUB into a suitable socket and press the ON/OFF button (3). Check that the red temperature indicator lights up. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR Red: THE SUB is connected to the power supply. The cooling process is in progress. Green: the beer is at optimum temperature and ready to serve. NOISE THE SUB is fitted with a cooling system that regulates the temperature of THE TORP. It is usual for this technology to generate some sound, particularly during the cooling phase. THE SUB is also fitted with a pump to keep THE TORP under pressure. During use, the pump will start up automatically, generating a sound that will stop after a few seconds.

IMPORTANT: before inserting a TORP into THE SUB, check the Use By Date indicated on the side of THE TORP. Do not use THE TORP if it has passed this date. To reduce the cooling time, we recommend storing THE TORP in the refrigerator for a few hours before use. See the instructions on THE TORP. Do not store THE TORP at a temperature of more than 32° C or at temperatures below zero, and do not expose it to direct sunlight. Do not shake or drop it. Tip: We recommend connecting THE SUB to the power supply at least one hour before installing a TORP.

2 – SERVING THE BEER

Tip: we recommend always keeping a spare TORP in the refrigerator. In this way, you will always have a chilled TORP available.

For an optimum temperature, only serve the beer when the temperature indicator has changed to green. In THE SUB: cooling of the beer to a temperature of 2° inside THE SUB takes around 10 hours if THE TORP and the appliance are at room temperature (22°C). In the refrigerator: this time may be reduced by several hours if THE TORP has been stored in the refrigerator the day before. The temperature of the beer in THE TORP has a direct impact on the level of foam: the beer should be served sufficiently cold, when the temperature indicator is green. IMPORTANT: never store a TORP in the freezer as this could cause leakage due to freezing of the beer.

INSTALLING THE TORP IN THE SUB

Loosen the cover of THE TORP (4). The tube is housed inside the cover; remove it. Place the tube connector in the opening of THE TORP until you hear a click. THE TORP (5) is now ready to use. You can place it in THE SUB by following these steps (6): - Open the door of THE SUB by turning the handle 45° anticlockwise (7). - Open the door completely (8). - Open the tap cover. - Push THE TORP into the cooling chamber (9). - Slip the tube through the tap and insert the tube spout into the tap (10 - 11). - Close the door of THE SUB. Turn the handle clockwise until it is completely closed (11). - Close the tap cover (12). THE TORP is correctly installed, the temperature indicator is red marking the start of the cooling phase. When it is green, the beer is ready to be served (13). When you close the door, THE SUB checks the pressure inside THE TORP and activates the pump each time the pressure is insufficient. IMPORTANT: do not unload a TORP until it is completely empty. A TORP that has been unloaded from THE SUB is depressurized. Therefore, the beer quality is no longer guaranteed.

To pour the perfect beer, it is essential to use a clean cold glass. Rinse your glass in fresh, cold water before serving the beer. This prevents the liquid warming up in the glass as well as the formation of too much foam. We recommend you use the special glasses available at www.the-sub.com.

- Incline your glass at an angle of 45° with respect to the tap. - Pull the handle quickly forward as far as it will go. Then gradually straighten the glass as it fills (14-15-16). When broaching a TORP, there is more foam in the first glass than in the following glasses. To limit the formation of foam in the first glass, we recommend pouring 2 centimeters of foam, then clean this glass and restart pouring the beer. KR_MACHINE A BIERE_THE SUB_NC00120880_NC00120880 27/08/13 10:35 Page1920 For the other glasses, hold the tap handle in forward position until the glass is filled. IMPORTANT: If you pull the handle too slowly you will generate extra foam. You can consult all the information about serving the perfect beer at www.the-sub.com.

CLEANING AFTER DAILY USE

Clean the drip tray (depending on model) and the drip grate after each use. Note: the drip grate (I) can be washed in hot water with a mild detergent (17). It can also go in the dishwasher. The drip tray (J) (according to models) cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher. Warning! Never use harsh detergents, such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol. CLEANING DURING INSTALLATION OF A NEW TORP Clean away all traces of beer that have built up on the tap. The tap mechanism should be cleaned with a damp cloth and some mild detergent (18). Warning! Do not attempt to clean the mechanism with hard and/or sharp objects. Clean the cooling chamber of THE SUB using a soft dry cloth (19).
