Installation

WARNING:

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

1. Place the beer dispenser on a stable, horizontal, level and non-slip surface. Ensure that there is at least 15 cm of space around the dispenser for optimal operation.
2. Place the drip tray on the collecting tray. Now, slide the collecting tray to the front of the appliance until it clicks into place. Make sure the collecting tray does not protrude beyond the base.
3. Attach the tap handle. The flattened side of the handle points forward. Ensure that the silicone ring is in the right place. Make sure the handle is fully seated on the tap.
4. Dispensing unit: Make sure the silicone ring has been inserted into the threaded part of the keg tap. Then put the fitting through the barrel holder. Make sure the lug on the fitting is seated in the recess of the keg holder. Screw the keg tap onto the fitting. Now the keg holder is sitting between the fitting and the keg tap.

Preparation

Preparing the Beer Keg

1. Buy a standard 5 litre party keg of your choice.

CAUTION:

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

1. Cool the 5 litre party keg prior to use. The optimal drinking temperature is about 6 - 8 °C. 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 °C, it is recommended to wait 16 hours before pulling the first glasses of beer.

NOTE:

Use your domestic refrigerator to pre-cool the keg. 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.

CAUTION:

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

1. The commercially available 5-liter party kegs are equipped with different stoppers. Depending on the stopper the party keg is provided with, it may be necessary to remove the keg stopper and insert one of the universal adapters. The various stoppers are described below.

CAUTION:

• 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.
• Also observe the instructions on the respective keg regarding the handling of the different stoppers.
  • Heineken kegs are described in a separate chapter.

You may use kegs with the following stoppers in this appliance:

The Rubber Stopper

Rubber stoppers do not require the use of any tools or adapters. Kegs with rubber stopper can simply be pierced with the keg tap as described in the chapter "Piercing the Beer Keg".

The Combination Stopper

The combination stopper is equipped with a red stopper lid. No tools or adapters are required. See the adjacent figure. When buying

a keg with this cover, make sure it is provided with the sealing member that has been circled in the middle.

For the combination stopper, you first need to vent the keg and then remove the stopper lid with a powerful jerk. You may then pierce the keg as described in chapter "Piercing the Beer Keg".

The Aerator Stopper

The aerator stopper is equipped with a black stopper lid. Kegs with this type of stopper must first be vented, as it is necessary with the combination stopper. After that, you may use a tool to remove this stopper, if necessary.

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

CAUTION:

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.

Piercing the Beer Keg

(Exception: Heineken kegs)

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.

2. Subsequently place it vertically on the tap opening of the stopper / universal adapter and push it downwards firmly and evenly into the keg. You may need to knock in the keg tap.

3. Attach the dispensing unit to the keg: First, hook one side of the keg holder at the edge of the keg. Then push the other side of the keg holder down until it clicks into place.

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 CO_2 cartridge fitted.

Connecting the Beer Keg to the Appliance (Exception: Heineken kegs)

1. Open the dispenser lid by pressing the lid open button.
2. Use clean, cold water to fill the tank of the appliance up to the MAX mark.
3. On the back of the beer tap you will see a button located below the beer hose. Press this button to release the cover (4). Lift the cover and bend the beer hose to the side.
4. Place the keg with the mounted dispensing unit into the tank of the appliance.
5. Put the beer hose back into the guide of the beer tap. Close the cover by first inserting the lug into the recess on the beer tap.
6. Attach the beer hose to the beer connection valve of the dispensing unit (10). You may slightly turn the keg, if necessary. The click connection must audibly engage.

CAUTION:

• Check the beer connection valve and ensure it is properly attached to the dispensing unit before proceeding with the preparation.
• Turn the pressure regulator to the “—” position.

Inserting the Carbon Dioxide (CO _2 ) Cartridge (Exception: Heineken kegs)

1. Remove the holder for the CO_2 cartridge (6) from the clamps of the lid. Turn and remove the holder.
2. Insert an unopened 16 g CO _2 cartridge (with the round bottom first) into the holder.

3.

WARNING for frostbite:

When screwing it onto the thread, do not cover the ventilation opening of the holder with your bare hand. Use gloves to protect your hands. This will help to avoid cryogenic (cold) burns, if carbon dioxide accidentally escapes.

CAUTION: Pressure

• Check the position of the pressure regulator! It should be in the “—” position!
• Screw the holder with the CO _2 cartridge quickly and firmly onto the thread, so that no pressure escapes.

Operation

CAUTION:

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.

Close the lid of the appliance. It must audibly snap.

Electric Connection

1. Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the specifications of the appliance. The specifications are printed on the type label.
2. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed wall outlet.

Turning the Appliance On/Off

• Set the switch to the "I" position to turn the appliance on.
• The appliance is turned off when in the “O” position.

Temperature Adjustment

NOTE:

The appliance saves the most recently set cooling temperature while switching it off.

After switching the appliance on again, the display will show the current temperature of the inserted beer keg and the last set cooling temperature.

• You can choose a cooling temperature ranging from 2^ to 12^ .
• In order to display the set temperature, you may briefly press the ⏻ or ⏻ button.
• Press and hold the Ⓗ button to adjust the temperature setting.

Pressure Regulator for Carbon Dioxide (Exception: Heineken kegs)

Use the pressure regulator to select the appropriate pressure for your beer. 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 flat, whilst too much pressure can make it too fizzy. If the beer should be too fizzy or flat, simply adjust the pressure accordingly. To be noted is that the CO_2 content in the beer initially changes over the course of time.

NOTE:

Make sure the pressure regulator is always in the “—” position when

• the beer drawing procedure is interrupted.
- you replace the CO_2 cartridge or the keg.

- In case you can no longer draw beer, even though there is still beer in the keg, or foaming requires too much time, slowly turn the pressure regulator towards “+” for

5 seconds. Then set the pressure regulator back to the “—” position.

Drawing Beer

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.

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.

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.

NOTE:

If the tap is only partly open, the beer may foam excessively as it is not able to flow out freely.

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 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 finger's breadth high and slightly over the rim of the glass.

Replacing the Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Cartridge (Exception: Heineken kegs)

WARNING for frostbite:

• Do not remove the CO_2 cartridge before it is completely emptied.
• A residual amount of CO_2 may still be present in the cartridge, which suddenly empties and results in the formation of ice.

Once no beer can be drawn, even though the pressure regulator is in the “+” position and there is still beer in the keg, replace the CO_2 cartridge.

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

3. Turn the pressure regulator to the “—” position.

4. Use the button to open the lid of the appliance.

5. Remove the CO_2 feed valve from the connector on the fitting. To do this, press the white release button labeled "PRESS" that is located on the fitting.
