Frequently Asked Questions - BeerTender C75 KRUPS

Why is my BeerTender not turning on?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is turned on. If still not working, contact Krups service.

Why is no beer dispensing?

Possible causes: the appliance is off, the DraughtKeg is empty, or no DraughtKeg is installed. Also ensure the tap handle is correctly installed and opened fully.

Why is there too much foam?

Ensure the DraughtKeg has reached the correct serving temperature (chill for 12-18 hours). Pull the tap handle firmly and quickly all the way down. Avoid shaking the keg; let it rest 4 hours if shaken.

How do I reset the volume indicator?

Turn on the power before inserting a new DraughtKeg. If already inserted, open the lid, lift the keg for 3-5 seconds, then replace and close lid. This resets the scale.

What should I do if beer flows too slowly?

Make sure the tap handle is opened all the way (pulled down to 90 degrees). If still slow, check if the keg is empty or the tube is blocked.

Why is ice forming in the cooling chamber?

A small patch of ice near the screws is normal. If excessive, move the BeerTender to a drier location. If fault persists, contact service center.

How do I clean the BeerTender?

Unplug and allow to cool. Empty and rinse the drip tray and grate (dishwasher safe). Hand wash the pour spout with warm soapy water. Wipe interior with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts dry before closing lid.

Can I use any beer keg with the BeerTender?

No, only Heineken® Liter DraughtKeg™ and Heineken Premium Light® Liter DraughtKeg™ are compatible. Do not use other containers.

How long does it take to chill a keg?

Inside the BeerTender: up to 18 hours. In a refrigerator: up to 12 hours. For best results, pre-chill the keg overnight.

What is the warranty period?

Krups offers a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. Proof of purchase required.

Child Safety Lock

* Make sure that children cannot play with the appliance. * Do not leave the materials used to pack the appliance within children's reach. * To prevent children from using the appliance, you can remove the tap handle. To remove the handle, make sure that it is in an upright position and pull upward.

Fire prevention

In the event of a fire, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers.

Do not use water or powder extinguishers.

Setup and Maintenance

* Install the BeerTender® in an upright position in a safe place. * To ensure that the BeerTender works correctly and efficiently, the following is strongly advised. * Place it on a perfectly level and stable surface; * Choose a clean, well-lit area with an easily accessible electric socket. * Keep the appliance at a minimum distance (4 inches) from the stove as shown in the diagram. * Keep the appliance at a minimum distance (2 ½ inches) from the walls. * Store the DraughtKeg™ at room temperature or in the refrigerator. * Make sure the BeerTender is not exposed to direct sunlight. * Do not use the BeerTender outdoors. * Do not place the BeerTender on very hot surfaces or near open flames, as these may melt or damage the casing. * Your BeerTender uses a technology that delivers ultimate cooling results when the ambient temperature is between 54°F and 86°F. At colder temperatures, the appliance cooling system could be damaged. At warmer temperatures, the cooling system will not be able to reach the temperature you program.

Warning! To avoid overheating, always keep the BeerTender appliance out of direct sunlight. To obtain good cooling performance, never install your machine in a room with an ambient temperature above 86°F.

KRUPS

5 - Using the BeerTender® System

* Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when lifting. * To obtain draught beer of optimal quality you should keep two basic factors in mind, the temperature of the beer and hygienic conditions. Follow these few simple steps for the ideal use of BeerTender.

A new draught beer tube should be used with each DraughtKeg™. An initial package of draught beer tubes is included with your machine. Additional draught beer tubes can be purchased from Heineken. Go to www.BeerTender.com for more information.

Chilling the DraughtKeg

1. Before pouring a draught beer, it is very important that the Heineken and Heineken Premium Light DraughtKeg reach the correct temperature.
2. Ensure DraughtKeg is sufficiently chilled before pouring a draught beer. Insufficiently chilled DraughtKegs will produce too much foam. It is ideal to purchase the DraughtKeg pre-chilled or pre-chill overnight before intended use. If the DraughtKeg needs additional chilling, there are 2 recommended options:

a. Inside the BeerTender – Depending on the temperature of the DraughtKeg, it will take up to 18 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature. b. In a refrigerator – Depending on the temperature of your refrigerator, it will take up to 12 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature.

Tip: We recommend that you always keep an extra DraughtKeg in your refrigerator to always have a chilled keg available.

Preparing the BeerTender

IMPORTANT: It is important that the BeerTender power switch is turned on before inserting the DraughtKeg. This allows the scale to reset and accurately measure the amount of beer left in the keg. If you remove a partially full DraughtKeg from an operating machine or open the lid while power is on, the scale will need to be reset.

Simply open the lid and lift up the keg for approximately 5-10 seconds before setting back into the machine and closing the lid.

* After setting up the BeerTender and before use, it is vital to clean the detachable pour spout – this is the only part of the appliance that will come into contact with the beer. The spout should be rinsed by hand. After cleaning, screw back into place.

* Before inserting the DraughtKeg into the BeerTender, simply snap the patented disposable draught beer tube (included) onto the DraughtKeg.

* Open the BeerTender cover by pressing in the release panel on the front of the machine.

* Open the tap spout cover by turning counter clockwise.

* Insert DraughtKeg into BeerTender and position the draught beer tube as shown on drawing.

* Close the tap by turning clockwise and snapping into place.

* Carefully close the lid.

* Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure the drip tray is properly fitted and positioned.

WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting on.

Control Panel

Your appliance features a large display providing you with important and useful information.

On the left side of the display:

a. Volume indicator

The BeerTender DraughtKeg volume is indicated with 4 levels.

The 4 levels are visible when the DraughtKeg is full.

They disappear progressively while emptying the

DraughtKeg. The last level starts to blink when only two glasses of beer (+ / - one) are left in the DraughtKeg.

On the right side of the display:

b. Temperature indicator

The temperature indicator goes from red, for a beer that is too warm, to orange when cooling of the beer is almost complete, to green when the perfect draught beer temperature has been reached.

Warning: never use your BeerTender with ambient temperature above 86°F. Above that level, the ideal serving temperature cannot be attained.

Pouring a beer from the BeerTender

* Before pouring a beer, rinse a clean glass in cold water which chills the glass and wets the inside to enable a perfectly smooth draught pour. Use of 8 oz glasses is recommended to maintain the ideal serving temperature.

Draught and Drink

* Be aware that the first glass you pour from every new DraughtKeg will contain mostly foam. This is typical of draught beer. Allow the foam to settle and continue to pour. * Tilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as you pour and adjust upright as the glass fills. * Ensure you pull the tap handle all the way down. Not opening the handle all the way will result in excessive foam. * For the optimal draught beer drinking experience, serve your beer with a foam head of 2 fingers in height (approximately 1.5").

Proper Care and Cleaning of your BeerTender

* The drip tray and grate should be emptied and cleaned after each use.

* Before cleaning the appliance, it is essential to turn off the ON/OFF switch and then pull the plug out of the socket. * Keep in mind that during use the drip tray will have to be emptied and rinsed regularly. The tray and grate are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand with a mild detergent. Dry completely. * Always wipe down the interior of the BeerTender after use. Beer is a natural product that can spoil. Therefore, you should always keep the appliance clean to maintain the quality of the beer dispensed and avoid unpleasant odors. * Rinse the pour spout between uses for optimal results. Handwash with warm soapy water. Do not wash in dishwasher. * To remove, unscrew turning counterclockwise from main unit. To re-attach, simply screw back in place turning clockwise. * You should never attempt to access internal parts of the appliance.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, ensure all parts of your BeerTender® have completely dried before closing the lid.

Storing the BeerTender®

* When the BeerTender is not being used for a long period of time, remove the DraughtKe and turn the control to "off". * Remove the plug from the power outlet. * Store the BeerTender at room temperature in a dry place out of children's reach. * Protect from dust and dirt.
