4222.001.9361.3.indd 10			08-02-10 10:52

English 11

4Push down the blue locking levers until they are in horizontal position.

If you are unable to put the locking levers in horizontal position, you have not put the keg into the appliance in the right position.Take out the keg and follow steps 1 to 3 again.

,, After you have installed the keg (even the first time), the pump runs for a few seconds.

5 Close the doors.

Cooling

After you have installed the keg, the appliance automatically starts to cool the keg. 

Note:At an ambient temperature of 23°C, chilling an uncooled keg takes 12-15 hours.

Tip:If you want to pour beer shortly after placing the keg in the appliance, prechill the keg in upright position in the fridge for a while before you install it.

For more tips, see chapter ‘Troubleshooting’.

1Wait until the beer has reached a drinking temperature of 4°C or below.

,, The temperature is shown on the display in green (see section ‘LCD display’ in this chapter).

LCD display

,, The display shows the temperature of the beer, the beer level inside the keg and the freshness of the beer.

Temperature indication

Wait until the temperature of the keg has dropped below 4°C before you start to pour beer.The ideal drinking temperature is 3°C.

The colour of the temperature displayed tells you if the beer has reached the right drinking temperature.

-- Red = the beer temperature is not yet ideal for consumption (above 4°C).The beer head may be too large.

-- Green = the beer has reached the right temperature (4°C or below) for consumption.

Level indication

The yellow-orange level indication on the display shows the amount of beer left in the keg in eight steps.

4222.001.9361.3.indd 11			08-02-10 10:52

12 English

Note: If you use 20cl glasses, you can pour approx. 30 glasses of beer from one keg. If you use 33cl glasses, you can pour approx. 18 glasses.

Freshness indication

The freshness indication tells you how long the beer is still fresh. -- When you place a new keg in the appliance, the freshness

indication shows that the beer in the keg stays fresh for 30 days.The indication counts down from 30 to 0 days.

-- Once the keg has been opened, the beer stays fresh for 30 days if the keg is stored in the appliance

Make sure the appliance is switched on all the time.

-- When 30 days have passed, the display shows that the keg needs to be replaced.A dash and an exclamation mark appear on the display.

Adapting the freshness indication

-- If you want to switch off the appliance for a longer period (e.g. a holiday), store the opened keg in the fridge. Disconnect the tap unit, rinse the top of the keg, rinse the tube and store the tube with the keg in the fridge.

Always write down the date and the number of days that the beer inside the keg is still fresh on the keg (see number of days on the display).

-- When you reinstall the opened keg, you can set the freshness indicator to the correct number of days with the – and + buttons.

Tip: To calculate the correct number of days: compare the date with the one you have written on the keg and subtract the number of days the keg lay in the fridge from the number you wrote on the keg when you stored it.

Other indications

Besides the beer level and temperature, the display gives the following information:

-- Green dash with no level indication visible = the tap unit is not present on the keg.

-- Red dash with no level indication visible = no keg is installed.

-- Red or green dash with flashing yellow-orange background light = the tap unit and/or tube are not properly placed. Remove the keg and check if the tap unit and the tube are properly placed. See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, sections ‘Placing the tap unit onto the keg’ and ‘Placing the tube into the tap unit’. If this does not help, try another keg with a new tube.

Other indications

-- Red indicator light flashes = the tap unit and/or tube are not properly placed.

How to pour a perfect beer

Follow the instructions below to pour a perfect beer.

Cleaning beer glasses

Always use clean beer glasses when you tap beer.

1 Clean the glasses carefully in hot water with some washing-up liquid. 2 Rinse the glasses thoroughly with cold tap water.

4222.001.9361.3.indd 12			08-02-10 10:52

English 13

In this way you remove all grease and soap residues, which allows you to pour a beer with a good head.

3Hold the glasses upside down to the light to check if they are free of grease and soap residues.

The glasses are clean when the water runs down the surface evenly, without revealing any stains.

Tip: If you clean beer glasses in the dishwasher, do not use a rinse agent. Rinse agent residues may break down the foam head of the beer.

Pouring beer

1You get the best results if you pour the beer in a cool, clean and wet glass!

Note:A cool glass ensures a more stable beer head. It also keeps freshly poured beer fresh longer and helps to retain its sparkling quality. 

Note: For the best quality draft beer, always clean and rinse used glasses before you use them again.This prevents foam residues of previously poured beer from causing too much foam in freshly poured beer.

Note: When you have not poured beer for more than a week, it is recommended to let beer flow into the glass for 1 second.Then rinse the glass with cold water before you fill it with fresh beer.

2Hold the glass by the bottom or in the middle to make sure it stays clean.

3 Open the tap in one quick, smooth movement.

The beer only flows properly into the glass if the tap is completely open. If the tap is only half open, the beer is forced through the tap, causing it to foam more strongly.

Let the beer to flow down the inside of the glass.

4To vary the size of the beer head, vary the angle at which you hold the glass under the spout and vary the distance between the glass

and the spout.

The more upright and the closer to the spout you hold the glass, the more foam you obtain.

Note: Do not let the end of the spout touch the beer glass, the beer or the beer head.Any beer residues present on the spout affect the forming of the beer head.

5 Slowly move the glass to vertical position while you pour your beer. 6 Fill the glass until the foam almost flows over the rim of the glass. 7 Close the tap in one smooth movement.

Note: The pump may go on.

8Europe (except Germany and the UK): For the best end result, remove excess foam from the glass by moving a skimmer over the rim of the glass at an angle of 45° in one smooth movement.

4222.001.9361.3.indd 13			08-02-10 10:52

14 English

Note: Never leave the skimmer lying on the worktop, but put it in a clean glass with fresh, cold water or rinse it right away. Only pass the skimmer over the glass once, as further skimming has a negative effect on the quality of the beer head.

,, You now have a perfect draft beer.

Serving a freshly poured beer

1 Dry the bottom of the glass by passing it over a cloth. 2 Use a clean beer mat for your guest.

3Pick up the glass in the middle and serve the beer on the beer mat. Make sure the beer brand logo (if present on the glass) faces your guest.

Das Gerät

,, Ist das Netzkabel defekt, darf es nur von einem Philips ServiceCenter oder einer von Philips autorisiertenWerkstatt durch ein Original-Ersatzkabel ausgetauscht werden, um Gefährdungen zu vermeiden.

,, Prüfen Sie vor Inbetriebnahme, ob die Spannungsangabe auf der Unterseite des Geräts mit der örtlichen Netzspannung übereinstimmt.

,, Benutzen Sie das Gerät nicht, wenn das Netzkabel, der Netzstecker oder das Gerät selbst beschädigt ist.

,, Halten Sie das Gerät außerhalb der Reichweite von Kindern. Der Zapfhahn lässt sich als zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahme abnehmen.

,, Stellen Sie das Gerät auf eine waagerechte, ebene und stabile Unterlage. Für eine optimale Leistung sollte um das Gerät herum mindestens 10 cm Platz frei bleiben.

,, Bei einer Umgebungstemperatur von 23°C dauert es etwa 12 bis 15 Stunden, bis ein ungekühltes Bierfass auf die idealeTrinktemperatur von 3°C gekühlt ist. Bei höheren Umgebungstemperaturen dauert die Kühlung des Fasses entsprechend länger.

,, Wenn Sie das Gerät beiTemperaturen von über 32°C benutzen, steigt die Biertemperatur unter Umständen auf über 3°C an. Geht die Umgebungstemperatur unter 32°C zurück, fällt auch die Biertemperatur wieder auf 3°C.

,, Setzen Sie das Gerät nicht direktem Sonnenlicht aus.

,, Reinigen Sie das Gerät, bevor Sie es für einen längeren Zeitraum wegstellen.

,, Heben Sie das Gerät nicht am Zapfhahn an.

,, ZurVermeidung von Überhitzung sollten Sie das Gerät nicht abdecken (z. B. mit einem Handtuch).

Das Bierfass

,, Lesen und beachten Sie die Anweisungen und Sicherheitshinweise auf dem Bierfass, bevor Sie es in das Gerät einsetzen.

,, Schütteln Sie das Fass nicht.

,, Lassen Sie das geöffnete Fass im eingeschalteten Gerät, damit es die richtigeTemperatur behält.Wenn Sie das Gerät ausschalten, weil Sie beabsichtigen, es über einen längeren Zeitraum (z. B. während des Urlaubs) nicht zu benutzen, sollten Sie das Bierfass herausnehmen und im Kühlschrank aufbewahren. Ein geöffnetes Bierfass ist 30Tage lang haltbar.

,, Bewahren Sie das Fass niemals imTiefkühlfach auf! Das Einfrieren würde dem Fass erheblichen Schaden zufügen.

,, Um das Risiko einer Explosion zu vermeiden, sollten Sie das Bierfass weder direktem Sonnenlicht nochTemperaturen über 30°C aussetzen.

,, Achten Sie beim Kauf und vor dem Einsetzen des Bierfasses immer auf das darauf abgedruckte Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum.

,, Benutzen Sie das Fass nicht, wenn die Oberseite defekt ist. Bei beschädigter Oberseite lässt sich die Zapfeinheit nicht montieren.

,, Ungeöffnete Bierfässer halten am längsten, wenn sie bei gleichbleibenderTemperatur gelagert werden. Je kühler Sie das Fass aufbewahren, umso besser.

,, Das Bierfass steht unter Druck. Entfernen Sie die Oberseite nicht; stechen Sie auch kein Loch mit einem spitzen Gegenstand in das Fass.

,, Maximaler Betriebsdruck: 1,5 bar.

,, Verwenden Sie das Fass ausschließlich für die PerfectDraft Modelle HD3620/HD3600. Setzen Sie das Fass in kein anderes Gerät.

,, Verwenden Sie ausschließlich Fässer der in dieser Bedienungsanleitung genannten Hersteller (siehe Kapitel “Fasshersteller”).

,, Verwenden Sie keine defekten Bierfässer, um Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden. Geben Sie ein beschädigtes Bierfass gleich in dem Geschäft zurück, in dem Sie es gekauft haben.

,, Die Fässer lassen sich nicht stapeln.

3Kippen Sie das Fass mit der darauf montierten Zapfeinheit leicht nach vorne und stellen Sie es in das Gerät.

-- Stellen Sie das Fass zuerst auf die Kühlplatte des Geräts.

-- Richten Sie dann das Fass auf, indem Sie die Zapfeinheit zwischen die blauenVerschlusshebel schieben.

4Drücken Sie die blauenVerschlusshebel nach unten, bis beide waagerecht stehen.

Wenn es nicht möglich ist, dieVerschlusshebel waagerecht zu stellen, haben Sie das Fass nicht richtig in das Gerät gestellt. Nehmen Sie es heraus und folgen Sie anschließend erneut den Schritten 1 bis 3.

,, Nachdem Sie das Fass eingesetzt haben (auch beim ersten Mal), läuft die Pumpe einige Sekunden lang.

5 Schließen Sie die Klappen des Geräts.

LCD-Display

,, Im Display werden die Biertemperatur, der Füllstand im Fass und der Frischegrad des Biers angezeigt.

Temperaturanzeige

Warten Sie mit dem Zapfen, bis das Bier kälter als 4°C ist. Die ideale Trinktemperatur liegt bei 3°C.

Die Farbe der angezeigtenTemperatur gibt Auskunft darüber, ob das Bier die richtigeTemperatur erreicht hat.

-- Rot = Die Biertemperatur ist noch nicht ideal zumTrinken (über 4°C). Das Bier schäumt unter Umständen noch zu stark.

-- Grün = Das Bier hat die richtigeTemperatur (4°C oder weniger) zum Trinken erreicht.

Füllstandsanzeige

Die gelb-orange Füllstandsanzeige im Display zeigt die im Fass verbliebene Biermenge in achtfacher Unterteilung an.

Hinweis:Wenn Sie Gläser mit einem Fassungsvermögen von 20 cl benutzen, können Sie ca. 30 Gläser Bier aus einem Fass zapfen. Bei 33 cl Gläsern reicht ein Fass für ca. 18 Gläser Bier.

Frischeanzeige

Anhand der Frischeanzeige sehen Sie, wie lange das Bier noch frisch bleibt. -- Wenn Sie ein neues Fass in das Gerät gestellt haben, gibt Ihnen die

Anzeige an, dass das Bier im Fass noch 30Tage lang frisch bleibt. Danach zählt die Anzeige von 30 auf 0Tage zurück.

-- Nach dem Öffnen des Fasses bleibt das Bier 30Tage lang frisch, sofern das Fass im Gerät aufbewahrt wird.

Das Gerät muss die ganze Zeit über eingeschaltet bleiben.

-- Nach 30Tagen zeigt die Anzeige an, dass das Fass ausgewechselt werden muss.Auf der Anzeige sind ein Gedankenstrich und ein Ausrufezeichen zu sehen.

Die Frischeanzeige einstellen

-- Wenn Sie das Gerät für einen längeren Zeitraum ausschalten möchten, z. B. während Sie im Urlaub sind, sollten Sie das geöffnete Fass im Kühlschrank aufbewahren. Nehmen Sie die Zapfeinheit ab, spülen Sie das Fass oben ab, spülen Sie den Schlauch durch und bewahren Sie ihn mit dem Fass im Kühlschrank auf.

Vermerken Sie auf dem Fass immer das Datum und die AnzahlTage, die das Bier im Fass noch frisch bleibt (= AnzahlTage auf der Anzeige).

-- Wenn Sie dann das geöffnete Fass wieder in das Gerät stellen, können Sie die Frischeanzeige über dieTasten - und + auf die richtige Anzahl vonTagen einstellen.

Tipp: So berechnen Sie die verbleibendenTage richtig:Vergleichen Sie das aktuelle Datum mit dem, das Sie auf das Fass geschrieben haben, als Sie es in den Kühlschrank stellten, und ziehen Sie davon dieTage ab, die das Fass im Kühlschrank gestanden hat.
