SETTING UP YOUR BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
How the Beverage Dispenser Works.  
IMPORTANT  
This appliance is a beverage cooler and dispenser. Standard  
5 liter mini kegs, and the Beverage Container are cooled  
• Ensure that all included  
to the desired temperature in the cooling compartment  
accessories are present and in  
of the appliance.  
good condition (see ‘Parts &  
Accessories” on page 7).  
• Make sure you have read and  
understood all important safety  
information on pages 4-5.  
With Standard 5 Liter Mini Kegs & 5L Beverage Container  
The beverage dispenser is compatible with different adapters that work with standard 5  
liter mini kegs and the provided beverage container. These adapters ensure that the  
kegs and container as specified in this manual can be used with the unit.  
This appliance uses compressed air to control the pressure of the standard mini kegs  
or the beverage container which allows it to dispense the beverage. Air is pumped into  
the standard mini keg or the container to force the beverage out and into your glass.  
Important Notice: Sanitation  
Handling mini kegs, containers, tubes, adapters, and pipes which come in contact with beverages  
requires special care and attention to sanitation. It is important to clean the tubes, adapters, pipes,  
and the beverage dispenser itself thoroughly before and after each use.  
Please comply with the following principles:  
• Clean all parts of the appliance that come in contact with beverages thoroughly after  
each use (refer to “Care and Cleaning” on page 18).  
• If in doubt, clean all parts before using.  
• Clean all parts when changing a mini keg or the container.  
DISPOSAL OF  
PACKAGING  
Please dispose of all old and unused appliances in  
accordance with your local ordinances.

Cooling the Beverage Dispenser  
It takes approximately 15 hours for the beverage dispenser to chill a standard  
5 liter mini keg from normal room temperature of 72°F (22°C) to a desired  
drinking temperature of 41°F (5°C).  
1. To cool the beverage dispenser, use the temperature regulator located in  
back of the unit and next to the power switch.  
2. To make the beverage dispenser warmer, turn the temperature adjustor to  
the + direction. To make the dispenser cooler, turn the temperature adjustor to  
the - direction (See Figure 18 ).  
+
Adjusting the internal temperature with the temperature adjustor will have a  
gradual effect on the temperature of the beverage. It should take at least 2-3  
hours for the beverage dispenser temperature to reach the desired  
temperature when a change is being made.  
+ = WARMER  
= COOLER  
Figure 18  
The internal temperature of the dispenser is displayed on the front of the unit.  
NOTE: The temperature displayed on the front of the dispenser is measured  
by the temperature on the outside of the keg or container. Consequently, the  
displayed temperature may sometimes vary from the actual temperature of the  
beverage. This depends on the length of time and temperature at which the  
keg and container were chilled.

OPERATING THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
Using The Dispensing Tap  
You can begin dispensing your beverage immediately after the 5 liter mini keg or the  
container has been connected to the dispenser. However, it is recommended that you  
wait until the beverage has reached the desired set temperature.  
Beer, in particular, can foam excessively if the temperature is too high.  
NOTE: Do not place glasses on top of the dispenser. It is an uneven surface, so  
glasses may fall.  
1. Take a clean glass and hold it at a slight 45° degree angle directly under the tap  
NOTE: To ensure proper cleanliness, make sure the tap is not immersed in the  
beverage being dispensed into the glass. Beer residue on the tap can impair foam  
formation.  
2. Pull the tap handle all the way down and fill the glass. Dispensing with the tap  
partially open can cause excessive foam.  
3. Gently release the tap handle to stop dispensing.  
Shelf Life Of 5 Liter Mini Kegs and Container  
Opened 5 liter mini kegs have a shelf life of 24 hours unless otherwise stated by your  
beverage manufacturer on the keg. Read all instructions on the keg carefully, or if in  
doubt, contact the manufacturer directly. Do not keep an opened 5 liter mini keg in the  
dispenser (even when switched ON) longer than 24 hours , for which you are to follow  
their noted shelf life instructions. After that length of  
time, the beverage will go flat.  
Do not store beverages in the beverage container longer than 24 hours.  
Always leave the dispenser switched ON when storing a mini keg or the beverage  
container inside the appliance. This ensures proper cooling.  
16  
OPERATING THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
Depressurize To Disconnect the Mini Keg & the Container  
It is very important to depressurize the mini keg or container when you are finished using them. If the  
pressure is not released, remaining high pressure could lead to spraying or spilling. Follow these  
directions to ensure proper depressurization.  
NOTE: 5 liter mini kegs are empty when only foam is being dispensed from the beverage dispenser. If  
necessary you can also disconnect partially full mini kegs.  
1. Switch OFF the dispenser.  
2. To depressurize the keg or container, pull down the tap handle to dispense all additional beverage  
which may be in the unit due to the pressure (ie. beverage that is in the RISING PIPE and ADAPTER).  
When the dispensing beverage stops, gently release the tap back to its resting position.  
3. Open the lid of the dispenser. If not already done, turn the air pressure switch to the AIR OFF position.  
4. Disconnect the tubes while holding the adapter in place:  
To disconnect

CARE AND CLEANING  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A DISHWASHER TO CLEAN THE BEVERAGE  
DISPENSER, SPARE PARTS OR ACCESORIES.  
NOTE: Handling beverages requires very special attention to cleanliness and  
hygiene. Clean the beverage dispenser, spare parts, and accesories thoroughly  
after each use.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
Always unplug the beverage dispenser before cleaning. Do not use a hard brush or  
sponge. Use a small amount of soap in water with a soft cloth. To dry, use a dry soft  
cloth or towel.  
Never immerse the beverage dispenser in water or other liquids. Do not let water or  
liquid get into the casing of the unit. Never use very hot water.  
Remember to rinse out the drip tray if it should be filled during use, and clean  
thouroughly after each use.  
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
Soak up all beverage or liquids that have spilled in the cooling compartment; Clean the  
cooling compartment with soapy water and a soft cloth.  
Clean and rinse the tap with a soft cloth and water  
CLEANING THE SPARE PARTS AND ACCESORIES  
Thoroughly clean all TUBES, ADAPTERS, and CONNECTORS with light soap and  
warm water. For the ADAPTERS to be properly washed and rinsed, the  
CONNECTORS and TUBES need to be attached. This will provide access to  
inaccessible areas within the ADAPTERS. Make sure to remove the “O-rings” in the  
ADAPTERS and CONNECTORS to clean inaccessible areas. Rinse thoroughly under  
warm flowing water to remove any residual soap and beverage residue.  
Repeat if necessary.  
Air dry all washed parts and accessories for 24 hours.  
NOTE: Do not pre-install the accessories. Store the accessories in a separate box or  
bag outside of the beverage dispenser.  
18  
CARE AND CLEANING  
DEFROSTING THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
If frost builds up in and around the beverage dispenser, that means there is too much  
humidity near the unit. Move the unit to a less humid location.  
NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEATER OR ANY SHARP UTENSILS TO REMOVE FROST  
OR CLEAN THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER  
Unplug the beverage dispenser and, once the frost melts, carefully wipe down the  
outside or inside of the unit. When dry, plug the unit back in.  
MAINTAINING THE UNIT  
Empty the drip tray when necessary and clean it with a damp cloth  
Occasionally wipe the outside of the beverage dispenser with a damp cloth to ensure  
cleanliness  
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE  
In the event of a power failure, do not remove the cover of the beverage dispenser too  
frequently to ensure the internal temperature remains the same. A slight and gradual  
increase in temperature could have an effect on the temperature of the beverage.  
If the ambient temperature is very hot, place the beverage dispenser in a cool  
environment.
