INTENDED USE The beverage cooler is intended to be used for the occasional cooling of beverages (e.g. in bottles or cans). The appliance is not designed for continuous use. The BEEZER

is designed for domestic use and is not suitable for commercial use. If the appliance is used for any purpose other than its intended use or if it is operated incorrectly, severe injuries may occur or the appliance may be damaged. All warranty and liability claims will be rendered null and void in this case. FUNCTIONS The BEEZER

beverage cooler can cool beverage contain- ers with a capacity of up to

takes 3 to 6 minutes to reach a temperature 12°C lower than the start temperature. The cooling process can be adjusted or repeated to lower the drinking temperature further. The BEEZER

can be operated using the 4 function buttons on the appliance or via BEEZER

Connect. The start button (5.1) turns the appliance on and o󰀨 and starts the cooling process. There are 3 further function but- tons below this, which are used to congure the following param- eters: rotation on/o󰀨, container size and cooling level (5.2–5.4). The colour of the LED ring (2) on the cooling chamber door (1) indi- cates the current mode in which the appliance is operating. LED ring The colour of the LED ring indicates the appliance’s current operating mode. The operating modes are listed in the following table: Ring colour Meaning (mode) White Ready for use Cyan Pre-cooling process/Auto- matic defrosting Blue Beverage cooling Purple Energy-saving mode Yellow Switching o󰀨 Red Door open Note: The LED ring is unlit as standard when the appliance is switched o. When controlling the BEEZER

Connect, you can activate the LED ring and use the appliance to provide ambient lighting by selecting your preferred ring colour. Function buttons Rotation In the standard conguration, the beverage container is rotated dur- ing the cooling process to ensure uniform cooling of the beverage. The rotation function can be deactivated by pressing this function button, e.g in the case of square bottles or containers with delicate labels or imprints. The rotation symbol indicates whether rotation is activated. Note: The cooling process is 20% slower if rotation is deactivated. Container size S 0.25 L M 0.5 L L 0.75 L Cooling level The 3 levels of cooling are indi- cated on the display by one, two or three bars. Cooling times The duration of the cooling pro- cess depends on which combina- tion of settings is selected. The table below shows the various pre-settings. Under normal conditions, the start temperature of the beverage is reduced by at least 12°C at a medium setting. Cooling time (in minutes) based on cooling level and container size (start tempera- ture of 21°C) (t in min)

Note: These pre-settings can be adjusted in the mobile app. Individual timers ranging from 1 to 60 minutes can also be selected and started. In addition, expert mode helps calculate the ideal cooling time to reach your desired temperature. The app also contains a table showing the optimal drinking temperatures for the most common drinks on the market. Cooling chamber door All processes that are currently running stop when the cooling chamber door is opened. The interrupted processes continue once the door is closed again. English16 If the door is not closed again, the appliance draws attention to this by emitting an acoustic signal (beeping). If the door is left open, this raises the temperature in the cooling chamber, which in turn results in the cooling process being repeated or taking longer to complete. Once defrosting has been completed after the appliance is switched o󰀨, the door must be opened to allow moisture to escape. This is indicated by the device producing an acoustic signal (beeping). Ideally, the door should remain open for at least 60 minutes. Drain hose The liquid produced during the defrosting process, by an unsealed bottle or due to a broken bottle can be drained manually using the drain hose (8) located on the rear of the BEEZER

To do this, take the drain hose (8) out of its holder and feed it into a su󰀩ciently large container or basin with a drainage outlet with the opening pointing downwards. Note: The volume of water produced by the defrosting process depends to a large extent on ambient air humidity. Water only needs to be drained via the hose if a large volume is produced due to very high air humidity. The BEEZER

also has an overow vent (10) on the rear of the appliance. If excess water accumulates in the interior of the appliance, e.g due to an excessive volume of condensate or a bottle breakage, it can drain through this vent. This presents no problems for the BEEZER

itself, but should be considered when choosing the surface on which the appliance is positioned.

FIRST TIME Preparation

• Carefully take the appliance out of the packaging and remove all packaging parts and protective lm.

• Keep all packaging parts together with the packaging in a safe place. When disposing of the packaging parts later, please observe the statutory regulations governing proper disposal. CAUTION, risk of explosion: Do not use the appliance if the system has been damaged! If this happens, the room must be well ventilated at all times and any potential ignition sources removed. Positioning the appliance

on a at, non-slip, water-resistant surface close to a mains socket. You should only ever lift the BEEZER

using the handles provided on the front and rear (6). Note: Never lift the BEEZER

using the door or other parts of the appliance other than the handles provided.

OPERATION Switching on and pre-cooling

• Ensure that the door is closed.

• Press and hold down the start button (5.1) to switch the appliance on. After the BEEZER

is switched on, an initial pre-cooling process must be completed, which lasts approx. 10 minutes. This process starts automatically. The LED ring on the BEEZER

lights up cyan and the display uses bars to indi- cate how the process is progress- ing. Once the pre-cooling process has nished, the LED ring colour changes from cyan to white. The appliance is now ready to start cooling beverages. Note: You can switch on the BEEZER

and start the pre-cooling process from anywhere using the mobile app. This means that the appli- ance will be ready to use as soon as you get home from shopping, for example. Cooling beverages

• Open the cooling chamber (1) by pulling on the nger-pull door handle (4). Place the beverage you want to cool in the cooling chamber (13). Ensure that the beverage container is tightly sealed.

• Close the cooling chamber door and use the function buttons to congure the settings (see FUNCTIONS).

• Press the Start button (5.1) to start the cooling process. The duration of the cooling process depends on which combination is selected (see FUNCTIONS).

• During the cooling process, the LED ring on the BEEZER

lights up blue, while the display uses bars to indicate how the process is progressing.

• The end of the cooling process is indicated by an acoustic signal (beeping) and the colour of the LED ring changes from blue to white. The beeping sound can be activated and deactivated in the app. Once the cooling process is n- ished, open the cooling chamber door and take out your cooled beverage. Ensure that the door is closed again afterwards. CAUTION, risk of injury due to breaking glass Never leave beverages lying in the cooling chamber after the cooling process has ended! Freezing a beverage may cause glass to break.18 Automatic defrosting Ice may form in the cooling cham- ber if the appliance is used for a long time and depending on the humidity of the air. To maintain a consistent cooling performance, the BEEZER

defrosts automat- ically. This happens by default after 90 minutes. The automatic defrosting process lasts approx. 5 minutes. During the defrosting process, the LED ring on the BEEZER

lights up cyan, while the display uses bars to indicate how the process is progressing. When automatic defrosting has been successfully completed, the appliance switches to pre-cooling mode and is ready for operation after a further 5 minutes. Note: The pre-settings for automatic defrosting can be adjusted in the app. Switching o󰀨

• Press and hold down the start button (5.1) to switch the appli- ance o󰀨. The defrosting process then begins automatically and lasts approx. 10 minutes.

• During the defrosting process, the LED ring on the BEEZER

lights up yellow, while the display uses bars to indicate how the process is progressing.

• Once defrosting has been completed after the appliance is switched o󰀨, the door must be opened to allow moisture to escape. This is indicated by the device producing an acoustic signal (beeping). Ideally, the door should remain open for at least 60 minutes.

• When the cooling chamber door is closed, the appliance is switched o󰀨 and ready to be switched back on again. Note: If the appliance is to remain unused for an extended period, you should rst ensure that the cooling chamber is completely clean and dry and that the cool- ing chamber door is left open to prevent mould from forming in the interior (see CLEANING). ENERGY-SAVING MODE If the appliance is ready for operation and has still not been used after a period of 10 min- utes, the BEEZER

switches to energy-saving mode. When the appliance is in energy- saving mode, the LED ring of the BEEZER

lights up purple. If the appliance is in energy- saving mode, it can be re- activated by pressing any function key. If the temperature in the cooling chamber is too high, another short pre-cooling process is started (see the instructions for pre-cooling the appliance). This process should last less than 1 minute, after which the appli- ance will be ready for operation. If it is not re-activated, the appli- ance automatically switches o󰀨 completely after 60 minutes as standard. Note: The pre-settings for energy- saving mode and automatic switch-o can be adjusted in the app. CLEANING The BEEZER

does not require cleaning after each use. How- ever, the cooling chamber of the BEEZER

can be cleaned as needed. Preparation

• Open the cooling chamber door (1). Carefully remove any foreign matter!

• Remove the rotating rail (11) from the cooling chamber (13). The underside of the rail is mag- netically attached and must be kept in a horizontal position when being pulled upwards to avoid it becoming jammed.

• Then pull out the strainer tray (12) located below the rotating rail. Regular cleaning

• Rinse the rotating rail (11) and the strainer tray (12) under clear water.

• Wipe the cooling chamber of the BEEZER

with a damp cloth. Cleaning of heavy soiling in the cooling chamber If the cooling chamber is heavily soiled (leaked liquid, fragments of glass or other foreign matter, e.g. due to the beverage con- tainer being damaged or not being tightly sealed), follow the steps below:

• Rinse the rotating rail (11) and the strainer tray (12) under clear water. Take care when removing foreign matter such as glass fragments or similar!

• Feed the drain hose (8) located on the rear of the BEEZER

into a su󰀩ciently large container or basin with a drainage outlet.

• Then clean the cooling cham- ber by rinsing it with plenty of water. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner! Note: The BEEZER

must not be tipped over! Note: After each cleaning, leave the cooling chamber door open (ideally for at least 60 minutes) to allow moisture to escape. English19 WARRANTY The BEEZER

beverage cooler from ritter comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, calcu- lated from the date of purchase and in accordance with EU warranty directives. Your legal warranty claims according to

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Explanation/Solution Beeping after switch-o󰀨 The defrosting process starts automat- ically when the appliance is switched o󰀨. Once it has ended, the BEEZER

emits an acoustic signal to remind you to open the cooling chamber door to allow moisture to escape. Rotation symbol is ashing Rotating shaft is faulty/defective; the BEEZER

can continue to be used without rotation. Solution: Switch o󰀨 the device and check whether the rotating shaft is jammed; if not, the BEEZER

can be switched on again and the rotation function should work. Broken glass Proceed as described under "CLEANING". CAUTION! Risk of injury due to breaking glass Required temperature is not reached Room temperature or start temperature of the beverage is too high. Select a higher cooling level. A lot of ice may form inside the cooling chamber of the BEEZER

. Use the app to start the defrosting process. Pre-cooling process is taking too long The pre-cooling process may take longer at very high room temperatures. Door beeps on opening To avoid raising the temperature within the cooling chamber, the door should only be opened briey when inserting the bottle. STORAGE/MAINTENANCE The BEEZER

must be trans- ported, stored and operated in an upright position. The BEEZER

is intended to be used at a room temperature of 16 C to 32°C. The BEEZER
