Frequently Asked Questions - THBD47718 THOMSON

What types of kegs can I use with this beer dispenser?

The dispenser is compatible with sealed 5-liter pressure kegs. Make sure they are not damaged or expired.

How long does it take to cool the beer?

It takes 19 to 21 hours to reach a temperature of 3 to 6 °C at an ambient temperature of 22 to 24 °C. To speed up, pre-cool the keg in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

How do I adjust the temperature of the dispenser?

Use the « + » and « - » buttons on the front panel. The LCD display shows the actual temperature. Press « + » for 1 second to adjust; the set temperature flashes for 3 seconds. Long press « - » to choose from 6 presets (4 to 12 °C).

Why is there excessive foam when dispensing?

Possible causes: glass too warm, beer not cold enough, keg shaken or beer at end of keg. Solution: cool the beer between 3 and 6 °C, tilt the glass and fully open the tap. Wait for foam to settle if the keg was shaken.

How do I clean the tap mechanism?

Use the provided cleaning kit: connect the cleaning bottle, open the tap, and circulate hot water through the tube at least 3 times. Disassemble the tap to clean it. Do not put in dishwasher and do not use detergent.

What if the beer does not flow?

Check that the dispensing tube is properly connected and that the keg is not empty. If the problem persists, inspect the connections and contact a repair center.

How do I drain the water from the cooling cavity?

Open the drain control (horizontal position) so that the water flows into the drip tray (capacity 450 ml). Close the control and fill the cavity with 800 ml of fresh water. Replace the water once a week.

Can I use the dispenser without water?

Yes, it can operate without water, but for best performance, it is recommended to fill the cavity with 800 ml of water.

How do I replace the beer tube?

Place the beer lever in service position. Remove the removable tap, the pinch clip, and the quick connector. Replace with a new tube and reassemble in reverse order. Caution: do not touch other screws to avoid leaks.

What if the dispenser does not cool enough?

Check the ventilation space (at least 10 cm around), that the water cavity is filled, and that the ambient temperature is not too high. If the problem persists, contact a repair center.

1. It takes 19-21 hours to cool the beet to 3 - 6^ C at a surrounding temperature of 22 - 24^ C . You can shorten the cooling time by pre-cooling the keg in advance.

2. Temperature can be pre-set by pressing the buttons (+ and - next to the temperature display) on the front panel. The temperature can be set from 2^ C to 12^ C (36°F to 54°F).

There are 6 pre-set temperatures. The LED shows the real temperature of the beer. The temperature can be set by pressing “+” button by 1 second. It will show the set temperature for 3 seconds and re-show the actual temperature of the beet.

By pressing and holding the “-” button, you can choose a certain preset temperature: 4°C (40°F), 8°C (46°F), 9°C (48°F), 10°C (50°F), 11°C (52°F) and 12°C (54°F) by press the “-” button.

Pressing and holding “+” button can change the temperature unit between °C and °F.

The beertender has a memory function. It will keep the same temperature set last time when you turn on the beertender.
