Frequently Asked Questions - 10030663 Klarstein

How long does it take to cool the beer?

It takes 19 to 21 hours to reach an ideal temperature of 0-4 °C (for an ambient temperature of 22-24 °C). It is recommended to place the keg in a cool place at least 12 hours before installation.

What types of kegs can I use?

The appliance accepts 5-liter kegs with universal cap (models 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) as well as Heineken kegs (with included adapter). For Heineken kegs, no CO2 cartridge is needed.

How to install a CO2 cartridge?

Detach the cartridge holder, insert a 16 gram cartridge, screw until it clicks (piercing the seal), then replace the holder in the lid. Check the seal.

What to do if the beer does not flow or foams too much?

Check the tap connection, CO2 level, pressure (set to « + »). For foam: ensure the beer is at 3-5 °C, the keg has not been shaken, and reduce pressure if necessary.

How to clean the appliance?

Use the included cleaning kit: fill it with hot water, connect it to the piercing point, circulate water through the beer hose. Never clean parts in the dishwasher or with chemicals.

How often to change the cooling reservoir water?

Change the water once a week. To drain, open the siphon duct: the water flows into the drip tray (450 ml). Then fill with 800 ml of clean water.

How to replace an empty keg?

Close the CO2 regulator to « - », lift the lid, lower the handle to release residual gas. Disconnect the hoses, remove the keg, clean the mechanism, then install a new keg following the instructions.

Can I use kegs other than Heineken or universal?

Only kegs with a cap compatible with the illustrated models (no. 20-24) or the Heineken system are suitable. Check compatibility before use.

What to do if the beer hose leaks?

Replace the hose or the sealing ring. To replace the hose, detach it from the fittings by pressing the lock, then install a new one. Check the seal of the rings.

Is the appliance guaranteed?

The manual does not mention a specific warranty period, but the manufacturer (Chal-Tec GmbH) is subject to European directives. In case of defect, contact customer service.

Installation and Operation

Installation

1. Take out the beer cooler from its package. Place the beer cooler on a steady and horizontal surface, and make sure the beer cooler is at least 5 inches/10 cm away from other appliances or wall on each side so as to allow correct ventilation on the appliances to get better performance.

2. Set the water drip tray into the notch provided.
3. Plug the beer cooler.

Note: Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet. Before use it, make sure the voltage is conformity with plug mark, and check whether the power cord is well connected or not; if not, please don't use it, and call service center;

1. Put 800ml water into the cooling cavity or pour the water to the max mark (It can work without water, but it can't display the best performance).

Note: Make sure the drain switch is at "Off" position, and no extra objects in the cooling cavity

How to select a keg

• Sealed 5L universal keg and Heineken keg applies only
• Pay close attention to safety and storage messages about the keg / on the keg.
• Check the keg is neither damaged nor beer out-of-date before purchasing.
• Protect the top surface from being damaged. Otherwise it could be difficult of accession for the suction tube.
• Keep the keg in a rather cold for 12 hours but not too cold place (e.g. refrigerator) until next use.
• Never shake the keg before use.
• Never put the beer keg under the sunlight.

Beer keg sealant

All 5 litre beer kegs 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.

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 20 sealant) provided in the beer cooler, attach it to the beer keg, and pierce it by cooler piercing pin.

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.

KLARSTEIN

Universal 5L beer keg

1. Before piercing the plug on the top of the keg, 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 tap faucet.
2. Uprightly direct the piercing pin against the sealant on the upper centre of the keg (maybe you need to tear off the marking ring or change a proper sealant), press the piercing pin/keg lifter to poke the sealant and then push the piercing pin all immerse in the keg quickly. To assemble the tap mechanism until you hear a cling sound that will indicate the tap mechanism fixes on the beer keg.

1. Open the beer cooler with 30-40N strength and place the well-assembled keg into the cooling cavity; Connect the CO2 connector tube and beer outlet tube with the keg lifter tube connector.

NOTES: make sure all connection of tap mechanism is well connected, and without damage. And make sure tap valve is on close status, and the CO2 pressure regulator knob is at "Off" status.

1. Loosen the CO₂ bottle sheath (Show as figure 15), insert a 16gram CO₂ cartridge in the sheath), and screw the sheath tightly until you will hear a "Click"(Figure 17), which indicates that the cartridge seal has been pierced and the CO₂ gas can flow into the keg freely. Make us the bottle sheath is fixed tightly to avoid the CO₂ leakage. Then put CO₂ bottle sheath into the top cover.

Note:

• Turn off the CO_2 knob when cooling the beer.
• Turn off when the beer flow is paused.

• Turn off when changing the CO_2 cartridge.
  If the beer cannot be tapped out (there is still beer in the keg), or beer foams are not enough, turn the knob to ^+ position for 5 seconds then turn it off again.

• 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.

The LED will default display the real temperature of beer. You can see the set temperature by pressing "+" button 1 second, it will display the set temperature, and 3 seconds later, it will recover and display the real temperature.

1. Adjust the CO _2 pressure regulator knob to "+" position, to pour the beer out by pulling down the tap mechanism, and you can adjust the pressure regulator knob to control the beer flow rate and beer bubble.

Note: Clean the glass before pouring beer out; if the beer or beer cup/glass is in high temperature or the beer is not cool enough, there are many bubbles when pouring beer out.

1. When taping the beer, lean your beer glass against the pouring spout and slowly straighten it up with the beer rising, then open the tap mechanism completely to avoid much bubble; It is advisable to pour half-glass, make a short pause before continuing the rest.

To save time and money, before you call for service, check the Troubleshooting Guide. It lists cause of minor operation problems that you can correct yourself.

Trouble Cause Solution
The tap does not work / can't pour beer out	1. The pouring tube is in poor connection or CO2 supplying is cut off2. No keg or no beer in the keg;3. No gas in the CO2 cartridge4. The CO2 pressure regulator knob is close	1. Well connect the pouring tube and CO2 supplying2. Change a new keg3. Change a new CO2 cartridge4. Turn the CO2 pressure regulator knob on “+” position
Too much bubble pouring out	1. Use a wrong way to pour beer out2. The beer temp is high (better at 3-5 °C)3. The keg is shaken before usage4. Almost no beer in the keg5. Too much pressure in the keg	1. Use the right way to pour beer out2. Cool the beer down to 3-5 °C3. Put the beer keg aside a while till no bubble inside4. Change a new keg5. Adjust the pressure knob to “-” direction to decrease the pressure or close the knob
Beer flows out too slowly	1. Inside CO2 pressure isn’t high enough2. The connection tube or pouring tube has leakage	1. Adjust the pressure knob to release much CO2 pressure or replace a new one.2. Check whether the tube is leakage or not, if so replace the tube
