INSTALLATION

The beer dispenser must be installed in a clean and well ventilated room. The temperature of the room must be between 10^ and 32^ . Beyond this temperature range, a decrease in the performance of the device could be observed.

The appliance must be placed on a flat and clean surface.

The beer blower fan is located on the back of the unit. To avoid the risk of overheating, you must leave a minimum distance of 10cm at the rear of the unit to allow air to circulate freely.

INSTRUCTION TO USE

IMPORTANT!

The beer dispenser allows you to keep a 5L beer keg at a temperature (between 3^ C and 6^ C). It is compatible only with 5-liter stand-alone drums equipped with a manual beer draft handle. Without the manual pull handle sold with the drum, the beer dispenser could not be used.

A. 2 Electrical connections :

1) Power outlet (220-240V~)

Plug the power cable (9) into the socket (10) and then put the voltage source selector (13) on position 220-240V. Then plug the plug into a wall socket. Press the AC ON/OFF button to turn on the device.

2) Cigarette lighter (12 V)

Plug the power cable (8) into the socket (11) and then put the voltage source selector (13) on the 12V = position . Then plug the plug into a cigarette lighter socket. If you want to turn off the device, put the voltage source selector (13) on DC OFF.

Remark :

Since the beer blower fan is located on the back of the appliance, you must leave a minimum distance of 10cm at the rear of the appliance to allow air to circulate freely.

B. Brewing the beer cask before use

To obtain perfect quality beer at ideal temperature, the drum must be kept cool for several hours. For this, you must put the beer keg to the refrigerator compartment for the time indicated on the drum (Follow the recommendations on the drum).

If you do not have a refrigerator, you can consider cooling the keg directly in the beer dispenser for a minimum of 48 hours. In this case, please note that the beer drawn will not be optimized, for example no foam or reduced

amount of foam.

ATTENTION

Never cool the drum in the freezer. The drum being under pressure, it may explode!

C. Installation of the pull mechanism (4)

The tube attached to the manual pull handle sold with the beer barrel is not suitable for the draw mechanism of your beer dispenser. It is necessary to replace this tube with one of the extension tubes (6) supplied with your appliance or sold separately.

IMPORTANT!

To avoid the risk of bacterial contamination, it is imperative to use a new extension tube (6) with each new drum.

• Put the keg of beer flat on the bottom of the base (1) of the beer dispenser.
• Rinse the manual draft handle sold with the beer barrel, and then install it on the top of the barrel (see the installation instructions on the barrel).
• Install the pull mechanism (4) on the top of the beer barrel. The tab on the manual pull handle must be inserted into the manual pull mechanism. For this you must follow the following steps:

a. Raise the top of the manual pull handle.

b. Insert the tab inside the pull mechanism.

c. Clip the pull mechanism into the drum collar.

Press both buttons at the same time.
Put the mechanism on the collar of the drum then release the buttons.

Check that the pull mechanism is securely installed.

Mechanism properly fixed

Mechanism not properly fixed

Put on the cover of the device.

Hermetically sealed lid

Non-hermetically sealed lid

Check that the lid is perfectly installed and that the appliance is

tightly closed. Improper installation of the drum inside the beer dispenser will not allow a tight seal, which would affect the performance of the appliance.

D. Draft beer

Check that the drum is at the correct temperature before use. If this is not the case, a total absence of foam or a large amount of foam could be observed.

When you serve the first glass of a new barrel of beer, this glass will be composed mainly of foam. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs with all types of draft beers.

Preparation of service glasses

Start by wetting the inside of the glasses in which you will serve the beer with cold water. Without this trick, the beer will not foam.

Draft beer

Tilt the previously wet glass at 45^ under the handle in the normal position (1).

Operate the beer draft handle by pulling it toward you halfway (45°, position 2) to run the beer. The flow is at its maximum when the handle is fully pulled (90°, position 3).

At the end of filling, raise the glass upright and release the pull handle. It automatically returns to position 1. The beer stops flowing.

E. Change of barrel

• Unclip the pull mechanism.

Press both buttons at the same time.
Remove the mechanism from the barrel collar and release the buttons.

• Put in place a new extension tube.
• Install the new drum by following the steps detailed at the beginning of this chapter.

F. Cooling function

The beer dispenser can cool the beer keg. Before installing the pull mechanism, let it cool in the beer dispenser for about 48 hours.

To ensure an optimal temperature inside the beer dispenser, the cap must be put in place.

When a beer barrel is not used, your beer blender could be used to cool pre-packaged drinks. The beer drafting mechanism must be removed.

The refrigerated compartment of the beer dispenser can hold up to 3 bottles of 30~cm height or 10 cans of drink 33cl.

ATTENTION

Do not pour water or any other liquid inside the appliance.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Food hygiene guidelines

Beer is a natural product that can degrade on contact with the air; the beer dispenser must therefore remain clean to maintain an excellent level of beer quality and prevent the growth of mold or bad odors.

IMPORTANT

Before starting a new keg of beer, check its expiry date and the expiry date after opening written on the keg of beer. Exceeding these dates may expose you to the risk of food poisoning.

Always clean the outside of the beer dispenser, the drip tray and the grill after each use with a damp cloth.

Clean the accessories of the beer dispenser after each use.

For hygiene reasons, the extension tube must be rinsed after each use and must be changed at the installation of each new drum.

If the beer dispenser does not work properly, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide below. You will find a list of small problems that can be easily solved.

For other cases, please contact the after-sales service.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Some malfunctions can be easily solved. Before calling for service or a repairer, please refer to the following table:

The temperature in the drum is too high (the best temperature is between 3°C and 5°C). 3. The beer barrel was shaken before use. 4. The cask is almost empty.	1. Open the faucet completely and quickly. Find the best distance between the faucet and the glass (between ¾ and the full height of the glass). Check the color and concentration of the foam: it should be dense and cream-colored. 2. Cool the beer to 3°C -5°C. 3. Rest the drum until the foam disappears. 4. Place a new keg of beer in the dispenser.
The flow of beer is too low.	1. The pressure in the drum is too low. 2. Extension tube or manual pull handle is leaking.	1. Check the condition of the tube. 2. Check the condition of the manual pull handle.
