BEER KEG SEALANT

All 5 Liter beer keg with the below various appearance sealants can apply to the beer cooler, however, you should follow the information as below *The sealants with code No. 20 and 21 can be pierced simply by the cooler piercing pin.

*The sealants with code No. 22 need to be removed off the marking ring from

the sealant and pierce the keg by cooler piercing pin.(Show as figure 1)

*The difference between code No 23 and 24 is the safety clasp quantity. Pull up the safety clasp carefully, turn around and take it out from the

keg; replaced it by the sealant (like code No 2 sealant) provided in the beer cooler, attach it to the beer keg, and pierce it by cooler piercing pin. (Show as Figure 3).

Figure 1

(Important: Before replacing the sealants or piercing the cooler kit, you must always follow the instructions marked on the keg to eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the keg has rested long enough to avoid foam coming out through the cooler piercing pin /tap faucet. And it is no need to release the gas and replace the seal rubber if you use Heineken keg, because Heineken keg has its own CO2 pressure inside, and no need to be provided from outer CO2 pressure system.

Notice:

*Turn off the C02 knob when cooling the beer

*Turn off the CO2 knob when the beer flow is paused

*Turn off the CO2 knob when changing the CO2 cartridge

When the beer cannot be tapped out (there is still beer in keg), or beer foams are not enough, turn the knob to +" position for 5 seconds, then turn off it again.

1. Close the top cover of the beer cooler; When pouring out the beer, the turn the knob on the top cover to “+” position to release the CO2, and turn it to “-”position when pause or stop pouring beer to close the CO2. Please refer to the notice label on the top cover.

Press and hold “+” button, the unit can achieve conversion between

Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Figure 20

a. Adjust the CO2 pressure regulator knob to “+” position, to pour the beer out by pulling down the tap mechanism about 45^ , and you can adjust the pressure regulator knob to control the beer flow rate and beer bubble; (Figure 13)

d. There will be a sharp and high-speed jet when pouring the last cup of beer from keg.

Please adjust the CO2 pressure regulation knob to “-” position to close the CO2 supplying and save the CO2.

9. Heineken Keg

Heineken kegs are pre-charged with CO2, and do not require the use of regulator, no need to install the CO2 cartridge. And the knob on the top cover does not work.

CO2 connector position
Figure 21

1. The Heineken connector that comes with your beer cooler can work with all Heineken 5 liter kegs. However you must use a flat head screwdriver to remove the green base from the keg in order to install the new connector, provided with the beer cooler.
