Fire prevention

In the event of a fire, use carbon dioxide (CO2)

extinguishers.

Do not use water or powder extinguishers.

Setup and Maintenance

* Install the BeerTender® in an upright position in a safe

place.

* To ensure that the BeerTender works correctly and

efficiently, the following is strongly advised:

* Place it on a perfectly level and stable surface.*

Choose a clean, well-lit area with an easily accessible

electric socket.

* Keep the appliance at a minimum distance (4 inches)

from the stove as shown in the diagram.

* Keep the appliance at a minimum distance

(2 ½ inches) from the walls.

* Store the DraughtKegTM at room temperature or in the

refrigerator.

* Make sure the BeerTender is not exposed to direct

sunlight.

* Do not use the BeerTender outdoors.

* Do not place the BeerTender on very hot surfaces or

near open flames, as these may melt or damage the

casing.

* Your BeerTender uses a technology that delivers

ultimate cooling results when the ambient temperature

is between 54°F and 86°F. At colder temperatures, the

appliance cooling system could be damaged. At

warmer temperatures, the cooling system will not be

able to reach the temperature you program.

Warning! To avoid overheating, always keep the

BeerTender appliance out of direct sunlight. To obtain

good cooling performance, never install your machine in

a room with an ambient temperature above 86°F.

5 - Using the BeerTender®System

* Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when

lifting.

* To obtain draught beer of optimal quality you should

keep two basic factors in mind, the temperature of the

beer and hygienic conditions. Follow these few simple

steps for the ideal use of BeerTender®.

A new draught beer tube should be used with

each DraughtKegTM

An initial package of draught beer tube is included

with your machine. Additional draught beer tubes

can be ordered from Heineken. Go to

www.BeerTender.com for more information.

Chilling the DraughtKeg

1. Before pouring a draught beer, it is very important that

the Heineken and Heineken Premium Light

DraughtKeg reach the correct temperature.

2. Ensure DraughtKeg is sufficiently chilled before

pouring a draught beer. DraughtKegs will produce too

much foam. It is ideal to purchase the DraughtKeg

pre-chilled or pre-chill over night before intended use.

If the DraughtKeg needs additional chilling, there are 2

recommended options:

a. Inside the BeerTender – Depending on the

temperature of the DraughtKeg, it will take

up to 18 hours to chill to the ideal serving

temperature.

b. In a refrigerator – Depending on the

temperature of your refrigerator, it will take up to

12 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature.

Tip: We recommend that you always keep an extra

DraughtKeg in your refrigerator to always have a chilled

DraughtKeg available.

Preparing the BeerTender

IMPORTA T: It is important that the BeerTender power

switch is turned on before inserting the DraughtKeg. This

allows the scale to reset and accurately measure the

amount of beer left in the keg. If you remove a partially

full DraughtKeg from an operating machine or open the

lid while power is on, the scale will need to be reset.

1-Beertender one way B95 US.qxd:1-B95 oneway Am terdam_UK.qxd 7/01/08 10:43 Page 7

E GLISH

Simply open the lid and lft up the keg for approximately

5-10 seconds before setting back into the machine and

closing the lid.

* After setting up the BeerTender and before use, it is

vital to clean the detachable pour spout – this is the

only part of the appliance that will come into contact

with the beer. The spout should be rinsed by hand.

After cleaning, screw back into place.

* Before inserting the DraughtKeg into the BeerTender,

simply snap the patented disposable draught beer

tube (included) onto the DraughtKeg.

* Open the BeerTender cover by pressing in the release

panel on the front of the machine.

* Open the tap spout cover by turning counter

clockwise.

* Insert DraughtKeg into BeerTender and position the

draught beer tube as shown on drawing.

* Close the tap by turning clockwise and snapping into

place.

* Carefully close the lid.

* Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the

appliance. Make sure the drip tray is properly fitted

and positioned.

WAR I G! The drip tray must be positioned on a level

surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting

on.

Control Panel

* Press the “C” button on the lefthand side of the display

panel. This resets the 30 day calendar and will

countdown from the day you reset with each new

Draughtkeg.

* Adjust to the desired temperature by pressing the

thermometer button on the righthand side of the

display panel.

* The top temperature readout reflects the

temperature inside the Draughtkeg.

* The bottom temperature next to the thermometer

image reflects your desired temperature.

* Wait for your ideal temperature to be reached

before pouring a beer.

* Volume indicator – the barrel on the lefthand side of

the display screen reflects the volume left in your

DraughtKeg™.

* There are 4 volume levels – when down to the

bottom level, the panel will flash indicating your

DraughtKeg is almost empty.

* ever immerse the appliance in water.

Pouring a beer from the BeerTender

* Before pouring a beer, rinse clean glass in cold water

which chills the glass and wets the inside to enable a

perfectly smooth draught pour. Use of 8 oz glasses is

recommended to maintain the ideal serving

temperature.

Draught and Drink

* Be aware that the first glass you pour from every new

DraughtKeg will contain mostly foam. This is typical of

draught beer. Allow the foam to settle and continue to

pour.

* Tilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as

you pour and adjust upright as the glass fills.

* Ensure you pull the tap handle all the way down. ot

opening the handle all the way will result in excessive

foam.

* For the optimal draught beer drinking experience,

serve your beer with a foam head of 2 fingers in height

(approximately 1.5”).

Proper Care and Cleaning of your BeerTender

* The drip tray and grate should be emptied and

cleaned after each use.

* Before cleaning the appliance, it is essential to turn off

the main power switch and then pull the plug out of the

socket.

* Keep in mind that during use the drip tray will

have to be emptied and rinsed regularly. The tray

and grate are dishwasher safe or can be washed

by hand with a mild detergent. Dry completely.

* Always wipe down the interior of the BeerTender after

use. Beer is a natural product that can spoil.

Therefore, you should always keep the appliance

clean to maintain the quality of the beer dispensed and

avoid unpleasant odors.

* Rinse the pour spout between uses for optimal results.

Handwash with warm soapy water. Do not wash in

dishwasher.

* To remove, unscrew turning counterclockwise

from main unit. To re-attach, simply screw back

in place turning clockwise.

* You should never attempt to access internal parts of

the appliance.

IMPORTA T: After cleaning, ensure all parts of your

BeerTender have completely dried before closing the

lid.

Storing the BeerTender

* When the BeerTender is not being used for a long

period of time, remove the DraughtKegTM and turn the

main switch to off.

* Remove the plug from the power outlet.

* Store the BeerTender at room temperature in a dry

place out of childrenʼs reach.

* Protect from dust and dirt.
