General instructions and precautions
Safety instructions:

Respect the basic safety instructions
given by the manufacturer. This cooling
equipment is designed for ow type cooling
of beverages dispensed from kegs. Any other
use is considered inaccessible, and therefore
dangerous. The supplier shall not be liable
for damages caused by improper use.

CAUTION: Before connecting the main
power supply check if the voltage and
frequency match the data shownon the
device.

CAUTION: Always make sure the power
socket to connect the cooler is eqipped with
sucient circuit breaker (16A depending on
the type) according to ČSN 33 1500.

CAUTION: Before any intervention on
the device, eg cleaning and machine
maintenance, ALWAYS disconnect the
appliance from the electrical supply: set the
thermostat to the „O“ position and pull out
the plug.

CAUTION: Never put tools or other objects
into the propeller fan.

CAUTION: Never touch the electrical parts
with wet or damp hands.

DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSES THAN
WHAT IT IS INTENDED FOR BY MANUFACTURER!

General safety rules

The supplier shall not be liable for damages
caused by activities performed on this devi­ce without following the instructions below!
This appliance can be used by children aged
8 years and older people with reduced phys­ical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, should under supervision, or
have been instructed about using the appli­ance safely and understand any potential
hazards.

Children should not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance of the appliance

Built-in air compressor

Only for models with built-in air compressor PYGMY 20/K, PYGMY 25/K, PYGMY 30/K pro,
KONTAKT 40/ K, KONTAKT 40/K pro and models GREEN LINE PYGMY 25/ K, KONTAKT
40/K, KONTAKT 70/ K, KONTAKT 155/ K.

The mini air compressor is built into the cooling system. Automatic pressure control is
set to 2.8-3.2 bar. For Kpro models there is the possibility of continuous pressure control
in the range of 1.0-3.4 bar. The set pressure value is displayed on the manometer in bars.
The compressor can be switched o by the switch itself. The air outlet from the cooler is
closed by a DM 5/16 (8mm) fast tting and marked AIR. The air compressor is maintenan­ce-free, equipped with a molecular air intake lter.

Connection and regulation of KONTAKT 155/R to CO2 bottle

1. Screw the plastic ttings onto the keg coupler (see picture 5. and 6./ page 4 a 5).

2. Insert the hose 3/8 and 5/16 into the plastic ttings on the keg coupler
(see picture 8. and 9./ page 5).

3. Connect the hose 3/8 and 5/16 with the plastic ttings placed on the cooling machine
according to the description on the label. The label is located above the ttings.

4. Attach the high pressure hose to the CO2 bottle using a cap nut (7.).

5. Put the coupler on the beverage keg and make sure the coupleris in the closed position
(upper position).

6. Open the shut-of valve on the CO2 bottle and set the desired pressure for both lines
using the srews on the top of the machine (No.3). (The pressure setting is displayed on
the manometer of the front side of the cooling machine).

7. Connect the keg using the keg coupler.

Then use the dispense head, bump a keg
and pressure the keg up to 1.0-3.4 bars and
then by dispense tap pull a drink. lf there

Electrical connection:

The machine has to be connected to a power
supply of 220-240V 50Hz with 16A circuit
breaker. Power plug circuit installation must
comply with applicable regulations DIN,
EN and ISO. lf the power cord is damaged,

How to work with the fittings:

12.
Push the tube into the tting rmly (about 1.5 cm). The tube
must be cut straight to avoid any imperfect connections. lf
you can‘t insert the tube in, you need to moisten theend.

Disconnection:

13.
Hold the gray ring towards the body of the tting and pull
out the tube.

CAUTION:

lf you don´t hold the gray ring while pulling the tube, the
tting will cut even more intothe tube.

or a qualied person in order to prevent
dangerous situations.

Waste sorting

This product must not be disposed of with any household
waste. Packaging allows the recycling and reuse of used
products and packaging materials. Reduse of recycled
materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces
the demand for raw materials. Local regula tions may provide
for separate collection of household appliances in local
outlets or the point of purchase.

Maintenance:

After each use, rinse the beverage tube with
pressured water (see Sanitation with water
below). For easier sanitation use a sanitary
adapter according to the type of your keg
coupler. It is necessary to sanitize chemica­lly once every two months (see Chemical
sanitation below). You can sanitize either
yourself using a special sanitizing plastic
keg or you can get it done by a professional.
It is also necessary to check the cleanness of
the capacitor every 2 months and to blow
o any impurities with air pressure or just
easily dust o otherwise you will be risking
reduction of the cooling power or even da­mage to the cooler.

TO AVOID BAD AIR CIRCULATION, DO NOT PLACE ANY OBJECTS
ON THE COOLER.

Chemical sanitizing (using a sanitizing bottle):

Use chemical gloves when doing chemical
sanitization!

Unscrew the head from the sanitizing bottle
and pour clean water inside. Screw the head
onto the sanitizing keg, then connect the
keg coupler and pressurize the same way
you would with beer or other beverages.
Pull the draft tap towards you and wait
until the water runs clear. Then pour the
diluted solution into the sanitizing bottle
in the specied ratio (usually 1:80), pull
through the system and let it sit for about 20
minutes. After about 20 minutes disconnect
the keg coupler and wash it thoroughly with
clean water. Connect the keg coupler back
onto the sanitizing bottle and thoroughly
rinse with at least 5 litres of clean water. To
complete the sanitizing properly, also use
the sanitizing balls. Place the sanitizing balls
into the tube (behind the keg coupler) and
let it run through the system.

Cleaning with water (using a cleaning adapter):

Connect the cleaning adapter to the water
supply using the hose.

CAUTION!
The maximum water temperature should
not exceed 25 °C.

When you nish the keg, connect the keg
coupler into the sanitation adaptor the
same way you would do with the beer keg.
Pull the draft tap towards you and wait until
the water runs clear (you will ush out all
the remains of the beverage and also some
sediment). Then we recommend to squeeze
out any remaining water from the beer line
by air pressure.

Do not forget:

Disconnect the dispensing tap and remove
the sanitizing ball. When sanitizing do not
forget to also sanitize the dispensing tap
and the keg coupler. You need to disassem­ble them, then soak in a chemical solution
and clean thoroughly to remove any resi­due left by the beer.

Disassembly of the compensator from the tap:

14.
Unscrew the cap nut on the dispensing tap (it will stay on the
cooler) and remove the dispense tap from the cooler)

15.
Unscrew the cap (1.) of the body of the compensator (2.)
remove the entire piece. This will release the compensator (3.)
