Frequently Asked Questions - Passau Klarstein

What type of keg should I use with the Klarstein Passau cooler?

Only use sealed 6-liter universal kegs. Make sure they are not damaged and the beer is not expired. Keep the keg in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before installing.

How do I install a new beer keg?

Remove the protective cover and hose from the keg. Align the outlet valve vertically with the keg connector and press it down until it clicks. Place the keg in the appliance. Connect the quick air connector and the beer outlet connector. Close the lid and turn on the appliance.

How long does it take to cool the beer?

It takes 16 to 21 hours to bring the beer to 3-4 °C in a 22-24 °C room. For faster cooling, place the keg in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before use.

How to adjust the temperature?

Press the + or - buttons on the control panel to adjust the temperature between 3 and 12 °C. The display shows the current temperature; after 3 seconds, it returns to the actual temperature. Press + and - simultaneously to switch to Fahrenheit.

What does the 'OP' code on the display mean?

The 'OP' code indicates that the beer keg is not inserted or removed correctly. Check that the infrared detection LED inside the cooling chamber is clean and unobstructed, and that the keg is properly in place.

Why is there too much foam when I pour beer?

Possible causes include: beer temperature too high (ideal 3-5 °C), tap not fully open, keg shaken, or glass too warm. Open the tap fully, tilt the glass, and let the beer rest before serving.

How to clean the beer line and tap?

Press the button on the back of the tap to remove the hose assembly. Clean the hose and valve device with hot water. Do not put parts in the dishwasher and do not use abrasive cleaning products.

How long does an open keg last?

An open keg can be stored for up to 30 days in the appliance, as long as it is turned on. If you need to turn off the appliance, remove the keg and place it in the refrigerator.

What to do if beer does not flow or flows slowly?

Check that the beer hose is properly connected, that the keg is not empty, and that the quick air connector is correctly installed. If flow is slow, clean or replace the outlet hose.

Can I use another type of tap or keg?

No, only use the supplied tap and 6-liter universal kegs. Other taps may damage the appliance. Do not exceed an operating pressure of 1.5 bar.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Note: This is a household beer cooler with exquisite, high-quality tap and housing with beautiful and unique design. An air pump is used to squeeze out the beer and has the functions of cooling and preservation. The beer cooler brings the beer to the best temperature for cold storage (3 °C to 4 °C) within 16 - 21 hours. However, it is recommended to first chill the beer keg in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before placing it in the beer cooler.

• Read the entire instruction manual carefully before use.
• Remove all packaging material and carefully check the beer cooler for proper condition. Make sure that there is no damage to the cooler, the mains cable or the plug.

BARREL SELECTION

• Only use sealed 6 litre universal drums.
• Pay close attention to the safety and storage instructions on the barrel.
• Before buying, make sure that the keg is not damaged and does not contain expired beer.
• Protect the top of the barrel from damage. Otherwise, access to the suction pipe could become difficult.
• Store the barrel in a rather cool but not too cold place (e.g. refrigerator) for 12 hours until the next use.
• The shelf life of the opened beer keg is 30 days. Make sure that the device is in operation when you place the beer keg in the machine. If you want to take the device out of operation for a longer period of time, place the beer keg in the refrigerator to cool it.
• Do not put the beer keg in the freezer. Freezing would destroy the beer keg.

1. Check if the infrared detection LED (as shown in figure 3) on the top left and right of the inside of the unit's cooling drum is dirty or damaged. If the beer keg is not inserted in the cooling keg or is removed, the device cannot operate normally and the code "OP" is displayed on the control panel.

1. Remove the protective cover and the beer hose of the beer keg.
2. Align the beer outlet valve device vertically with the connection part of the beer keg in the middle of the top of the beer keg and press it into the beer keg immediately. When you hear a click, it means that the tap valve device has been correctly attached to the beer keg (see figure 4). Place the beer keg in the cooling keg of the appliance after installing the valve device.

4
	Note: After installing the valve device, hold the suction pipe in the direction of the middle groove of the two handles of the barrel. Keep the bottom of the cooling keg and the beer keg free of dirt and other substances, otherwise the cooling effect may be impaired.

1. Plug the quick release connector at the end of the beer line on the beer valve device into the air inlet connector. As soon as you hear a slight click, this indicates that the connection has been successfully established (see figure 5).

1. Insert the beer outlet connector at the end of the beer line of the tap into the centre of the metal connection opening of the beer valve device and turn it clockwise to fix it (see figure 6).

1. Cover the top cover (see the inscription on the top cover for more information). Set the power switch to the "-" position. The unit will then start operating (set the power switch to the "o" position to cut off the power supply to the unit) (see figure 7). CAUTION: Make sure your hands are dry before pressing the power switch.

1. It takes 19-21 hours to cool the beer to 3-4 °C at 22-24 °C ambient temperature. At this ambient temperature, the temperature can be maintained. However, it is recommended to chill the beer keg in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before placing it in the beer cooler, especially if the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C.

2. Function of the control panel (as shown in figure 8).

• Storage days: When you place a new keg of beer in the device, the device starts recording the number of days the beer is stored in the device. A daily countdown from 30 - 0 begins. When the number reaches 0, it means that the barrel must be replaced. Be sure to note the days of beer storage. If you want to reinsert an opened keg of beer, you can increase the number of days by pressing + for 3 seconds or decrease the number of days by pressing - for 3 seconds.
• Make sure the device is turned on during storage. (If you want to switch off the device during storage, remove the beer keg beforehand and place it in the refrigerator to cool).
• Temperature adjustment: The temperature of the refrigerator corresponds to the previously set temperature. The cooling temperature can be adjusted by pressing the + or - button on the control panel. Each time you press the + button, the temperature increases by one degree. Each time you press the - button, the temperature decreases by one degree. The screen displays the current temperature of the beer in the keg. Press any button to display the set temperature and return to the current temperature after 3 seconds. If you press the + and - buttons at the same time, you can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. The cooling temperature of the beer cooler is adjustable between 3 -12 °C (37-54 °F).

• The beer cooler has a switch-off memory function. Press any button to check the set temperature before switching off.

• When the tap handle is closed vertically (as shown in the "closed" position in figure 9), pull the handle forward 45 degrees to let the beer out of the tap (as shown in the "open" position in figure 9).

	Caution: Before drinking the beer, rinse the glass with cold water. If the temperature of the glass is very high, many bubbles will form. If the temperature of the beer is too high, many air bubbles will form.

1. When tapping beer, tip the glass towards the outlet of the tap and open the tap handle completely. If the handle is not fully opened, many bubbles will appear. It is best to first tap half a glass of beer and then pause for a while before tapping again. Note: The beer outlet must not be immersed in the glass filled with beer, otherwise strong bubbles will form. Turn off the tap when you have finished the process.
2. It is normal to have more bubbles when pouring the first 3 beers.
3. It is normal for a short stream to come out of the tap's mouth when the beer in the keg has been used up. Release the handle of the tap and turn the tap off.

REPLACING THE BEER KEG

1. Open the top cover of the beer cooler.
2. Push down the quick connector at the end of the beer line on the tap, at the same time turn the connector anticlockwise from the engagement position of the tap valve and then pull out the connector (as shown in figure 10).

1. Press and hold the white button of the air inlet socket (as shown in figure 12).
