IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate wall outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance with all existing
local codes and ordinances.
• Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not clearly understood, or if
doubt exist as to whether your electrical wall outlets are
properly grounded.
FOR YOUR
SAFETY...
Pertaining to the risk
of Fire, Electric
Shock or Injury to
Persons.
1) Please observe the instructions and safety information located on the keg
2) Never shake the keg
3) Once opened, leave the keg in the dispenser or refrigerator so it remains cold
4) Do not freeze the keg or place in the freezer. The beer will be damaged if the keg is frozen
5) Do not expose the keg to direct sunlight or temperatures above 86°F (30°C), as there is a
risk of high pressure build-up
6) As with all beer purchases, always check the best-before date.
NOTE: Keeping the beer keg cold does not mean the beer keeps longer!
7) New and unopened kegs keep best when stored at a steady temperature of 37°F (3°C)46°F (8°C)

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.
IMPORTANT
• Please dispose of all old and unused appliances in
accordance with your local ordinances.
SETTING UP YOUR BEVERAGE DISPENSER
9
Find a suitable area for the dispenser. Do not place the dispenser outside, in direct sunlight, or in
any other location where the dispenser will be exposed to water or other harsh conditions. The
dispenser
should not be placed in environments where the ambient temperature drops below 65°F
(18°C)
or goes above 85°F (29°C). The ideal ambient temperature is 72° (22°C).
Affer the dispenser is in a suitable location, it is time to insert the
tap
handle into the dispensing tap and prepare the drip tray.
1. Insert the tap handle by lining up the metal tabs on the handle
with
the grooves in the dispensing tap. Pressing down firmly, turn
the
handle clockwise until the handle locks into place
(See
Figure 1
).
2. Remove the protective foil from the drip plate tray, and position
the
tray in front of the dispenser (See
Figure 1
)
POWER
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG THE DISPENSER INTO AN OUTLET
UNTIL
A 5 LITER MINI KEG OR THE CONTAINER IS
PROPERLY CONNECTED.
After
connecting a keg or the container to the unit, please refer to
“
Switching on the Power
” on page 15 for further instructions.

LOCATION OF THE BEVERAGE DISPENSER
The beverage dispenser is a free standing appliance, but can be installed next to counters and
walls- but do not place under a counter. For the dispenser to function properly, it is important to
have a clearance of at least 4” inches (101.6 mm) from the back of the dispenser to any surface
next to it. Also, there must be a clearance of at least 2” inches (50.8 mm) from the sides of the
dispenser
to any surface next to it.

USING THE YELLOW ADAPTOR
To connect the Yellow Adapter to a standard 5 liter mini
keg, follow these instructions.
NOTE: MAKE SURE ALL COMPONENTS ARE
PROPERLY SANITIZED PRIOR TO EACH USE.
PREPARING THE STANDARD 5 LITER MINI KEG
1. Screw the YELLOW RISING PIPE into the YELLOW
ADAPTER. Make sure there is an o-ring inside the RISING
PIPE. (See
Figure 2
)
2. Remove the plug from the top of the keg tap to ventilate
the keg. This releases the pressure build-up in the top of the
keg. The ventilation openings are designed differently per keg
type. Check the top ventilation opening to make sure the
opening is wide enough for the YELLOW RISING PIPE. If
there are parts in the way, such as a plastic edging, make
sure it is removed. It may be necessary to use a screwdriver
or pliers to do so.
3. Insert the YELLOW RISING PIPE (attached to the
YELLOW ADAPTER) into the top ventilation opening of the
mini keg. (See
Figure 3
)
4. If the YELLOW RISING PIPE does not fit into the tap, you
may be required to remove the plastic seal completely from
the ventilation tap using pliers. If this is required, insert the
provided BLACK RUBBER SEAL (See “
Parts & Accessories”
on page 7) into the keg before inserting the RISING PIPE.
This will create a tight seal between the keg and the RISING
PIPE. Keep a cloth or towel on hand, as the beverage could
spill.
5. Make sure the YELLOW ADAPTER fits completely down on
top of the mini keg and the sides of the ADAPTER snap and
lock into place around the edges of the mini keg. (See
Figure
3
)

DISPENSING TUBE FOR YELLOW ADAPTER
The DISPENSING TUBE will be pre-assembled, but if
assembling is required please follow these instructions:
DISPENSING TUBE WITH BLACK STOPPER
YELLOW MALE CONNECTOR
METAL CLIP
8. Place the CLIP over the end of the DISPENSING TUBE
9. Insert the YELLOW MALE CONNECTOR into the
opening of the end with the CLIP. Attach the CLIP so it
seals the MALE CONNECTOR into place under the TUBE.
(See
Figure 4
)
10. When finished, take the other end of the DISPENSING
TUBE (the side with nothing attached) and insert it into the
opening of the tap. (See
Figure 5
)
11. Pull the TAP HANDLE down so the DISPENSING TUBE
fits through the tap. To do this, you may have to push and
thread it through. Make sure the BLACK STOPPER fits
securely in the inlet just before entering the tap.
(See
Figure 5
)
12. The DISPENSING TUBE needs to go all the way
through the spout. The TUBE should be slightly exposed
below the bottom of the tap. (See
Figure 5
)

CONNECTING THE MINI KEG TO THE

13. Insert the 5 liter mini keg (with the ADAPTER
connected)
into the dispenser. Insert the YELLOW MALE
CONNEC
TOR attached to the AIR-CONNECT TUBE into
the
AIR IN opening of the YELLOW ADAPTER
(See
Figure 6
). Make sure you hear a “locking click”
14
. Take the YELLOW MALE CONNECTOR attached to the
DISPENSING
TUBE and insert that end into the
BEVERAGE OUT opening of the YELLOW ADAPTER
(See
Figure 6
). Make sure you hear a “locking click”
15
. Make sure there are no kinks in the TUBES. There
needs
to be an even air flow from the unit to the keg and
even liquid flow from the keg to the tap. Also make sure the
keg is centered in the cooling compartment of the unit. This
ensures
even cooling throughout.
TURNING ON THE AIR PRESSURE
16. Before closing the lid of the dispenser, you need to turn
on
the air pressure which will generate the power to
dispense
the beverage.
17
. In the upper left hand corner of the under side of the
lid,
there is a black switch, labeled AIR ON or AIR OFF,
which
can be moved up or down. Move the switch to the
AIR ON position (See
Figure 7
). Once you close the lid the
power will be activated to turn the air pressure on.
18
. When the dispenser is not being used, make sure the
switch is in the AIR OFF position.
CLOSE THE LID
To turn on the power, please refer to “
