INTRODUCTION
This is a household beer cooler, equipped with a CO2 cartridge
pressure system to keep the beer fresh. It brings the beer to the
best temperature for cold storage (0 to 4℃) within 19-21 hours.
The beer cooler will keep the 5L Keg cool for an almost indefinite
period. We do, however, suggest that you initially cool your beer
keg for at least 12 hours in your refrigerator before placing it into the
beer cooler.

HOW TO SELECT A KEG
1. Sealed 5L universal keg and Heineken keg applies only
2. Pay close attention to safety and storage messages about the
keg / on the keg.
3. Check the keg is neither damaged nor beer out-of-date before
purchasing.
4. Protect the top surface from being damaged. Otherwise it could
be difficult of accession for the suction tube.
5. Keep the keg in a rather cold for 12 hours but not too cold place
(e.g. refrigerator) until next use.
6. Never shake the keg before use
7. Never put the beer keg under the sunlight
BEER KEG SEALANT
All 5 Liter beer keg with the below various appearance sealants can
apply to the beer cooler, however, you should follow the information
as below:
*The sealants with code No. 20 and 21 can be pierced simply by
the cooler piercing pin.
*The sealants with code No. 22 need to be removed off the marking
ring from the sealant and pierce the keg by cooler piercing pin.
(Show as figure 1)
*The difference between code No 23 and 24 is the safety clasp
quantity. Pull up the safety clasp carefully, turn around and take it
out from the keg; replaced it by the sealant (like code No 20
sealant) provided in the beer cooler, attach it to the beer keg, and
pierce it by cooler piercing pin. (Show as Figure 3).
Figure 1
Important: Before replacing the sealants or piercing the cooler kit,
you must always follow the instructions marked on the keg to
eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the keg has rested long
enough to avoid foam coming out through the cooler piercing pin
/tap faucet. And it is no need to release the gas and replace the
seal rubber if you use Heineken keg, because Heineken keg has its
own CO2 pressure inside, and no need to be provided from outer
CO2 pressure system.

The PCB has the memory function, when you power on the cooler,
it memories the set temperate of last time.
The LED will default display the real temperature of beer, shows in
figure 20. You can see the set temperature by pressing “+” button 1
second, it will display the set temperature, and 3 seconds later, it
will recover and display the real temperature.
Figure 20
9. To pour the beer out by pulling down the tap mechanism, and
you can adjust the pressure regulator knob to control the beer
flow rate and beer bubble;
Note: Clean the glass before pouring beer out; if the beer or beer
cup/glass is in high temperature or the beer is not cool enough,
there are many bubbles when pouring beer out;
10. When taping the beer, lean your beer glass against the pouring
spout and slowly straighten it up with the beer rising, then open
the tap mechanism completely to avoid much bubble; It is
advisable to pour half-glass, make a short pause before
continuing the rest.
NOTES: Never immerse the pouring spout into the beer glass to
avoid much bubble; Remember to lock the tap after finishing
pouring.
11. It is normal to have more bubbles when pouring the first 3 cup
of beer.
12. There will be a sharp and high-speed jet when pouring the last
cup of beer from keg.
Please adjust the CO2 pressure regulation knob to “-” position to
close the CO2 supplying and save the CO2.
C. HEINEKEN KEG
Heineken kegs are pre-charged with CO2, and do not require the
use of regulator, no need to install the CO2 cartridge. And the knob
on the top cover does not work.
Figure 21
1. The Heineken connector that comes with your beer cooler can
work with all Heineken 5 liter kegs. However you must use a flat
head screwdriver to remove the green base from the keg in
order to install the new connector, provided with the beer
cooler.
2. When install the new connector to the Heineken keg, you must
firstly install the clear beer tube one end to the connector, one
end to the tap mechanism, then install the connector to the
Heineken keg.
