SETUP AND MAINTENANCE

nInstall the BeerTender®in an upright position in a safe place.

To ensure that the BeerTender®works correctly and efﬁciently, the following

is strongly advised:

nPlace it on a perfectly level and stable surface.

nChoose a clean, well-lit area with an easily accessible electric socket.

nKeep the appliance at a minimum distance (4 inches) from the stove as

shown in the diagram - ﬁg. 2.

nKeep the appliance at a minimum distance (2 ½ inches) from the walls.

nStore the DraughtKegTM at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

nMake sure the BeerTender®is not exposed to direct sunlight.

nDo not use the BeerTender®outdoors.

nDo not place the BeerTender®on very hot surfaces or near open ﬂames, as

these may melt or damage the casing.

nYour 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 pre-

programmed temperature - ﬁg. 3.

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.

USING THE BEERTENDER®SYSTEM

nAlways hold the appliance by the bottom edge when lifting - ﬁg. 4.

nTo 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.

A bag of 5 tubes is included with the BeerTender®appliance. To order

additional beer tubes, please contact www.beertender.com or call

1-888-KRUPS.

CHILLING THE DRAUGHTKEGTM

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

Heineken Premium Light®DraughtKegTM and Newcastle Brown Ale®

DraughtKeg™ reach the correct temperature.

2. Ensure DraughtKegTM is sufﬁciently chilled before pouring a draught beer.

Insufﬁciently chilled DraughtKegsTM will produce too much foam. It is ideal

to purchase the DraughtKegTM pre-chilled or pre-chill over night before

intended use.

If the DraughtKegTM needs additional chilling, there are 2 recommended

options:

a. Inside the BeerTender®– Depending on the temperature of the DraughtKegTM,

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 DraughtKegTM in your

refrigerator to always have a chilled keg available.

PREPARING THE BEERTENDER®

IMPORTANT: It is important that the BeerTender®power switch is turned

on before inserting the DraughtKegTM.

nAfter 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 - ﬁg. 5.

nBefore inserting the DraughtKegTM into the BeerTender®, simply snap

the patented disposable draught beer tube (5 tubes included) onto the

DraughtKegTM - ﬁg. 6.

nOpen the BeerTender®cover by pressing in the release panel on the top of

the machine and remove the tap spout cover - ﬁg. 7-8-9.

nPlace DraughtKegTM into BeerTender®- ﬁg. 10.

nPosition the draught beer tube as shown in drawing - ﬁg. 11-12.

nPut the tap spout cover back into place - ﬁg. 13.

nCarefully close the lid - ﬁg. 14.

nSet the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure

the drip tray is properly ﬁtted and positioned.

WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must

not jut out from the surface it is resting on.

notice_krups_beertender_nafta.indd 6 10/08/10 11:49:11

English

CONTROL PANEL

nYour appliance features a display providing you with important and useful

information.

nTwo LEDs on the top of the lid provide important indications:

- Green (ON/OFF) LED on the left of the panel: when lit, it indicates that the

appliance is operating - ﬁg. 15.

- Green beer-temperature LED on the right side of the panel: when the

DraughtKegTM has reached the ideal temperature the LED switches on and

the appliance goes into “stand-by” cooling mode - ﬁg. 16.

WARNING: never use your BeerTender®with ambient temperature above

86°F. Above that level, the ideal serving temperature can not be attained.

POURING A BEER FROM THE BEERTENDER®

nBefore pouring a beer, rinse a 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

- ﬁg. 17.

DRAUGHT AND DRINK

nBe aware that the ﬁrst glass you pour from every new DraughtKegTM will

contain mostly foam. This is typical of draught beer. Allow the foam to settle

and continue to pour.

nTilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as you pour and adjust

upright as the glass ﬁlls - ﬁg. 18.

nEnsure you pull the tap handle all the way down. Not opening the handle all

the way will result in excessive foam.

nFor 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®

nThe drip tray and grate should be emptied and cleaned after each use

- ﬁg. 19.

nBefore cleaning the appliance, it is essential to turn off the ON/OFF switch

and then pull the plug out of the socket.

nKeep 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.

nAlways wipe down the interior of the BeerTender®after use - ﬁg. 20. 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.

notice_krups_beertender_nafta.indd 7 10/08/10 11:49:12

English

nRinse the pour spout between uses for optimal results. Handwash with

warm soapy water. Do not wash in dishwasher - ﬁg. 21.

nTo remove, unscrew turning counterclockwise from main unit. To re-attach,

simply screw back in place turning clockwise.

nYou should never attempt to access internal parts of the appliance.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, ensure all parts of your BeerTender®have

completely dried before closing the lid.

STORING THE BEERTENDER®

nWhen the BeerTender®is not being used for a long period of time, remove

the DraughtKegTM and turn the control to “off”.

nRemove the plug from the power outlet.

nStore the BeerTender®at room temperature in a dry place out of children’s

reach.

nProtect from dust and dirt.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible causes Remedies

The appliance does not

come on. The appliance is not

connected to the outlet. Connect the appliance

to the outlet.

You cannot position the

tap cover correctly. You may have opened

the draught beer tube

(white plastic part at

the end of the serving

tube) by hand. If so, the

tap cover will not close

a risk for the beer to

ﬂow out.

Before installing the

draught beer tube

onto the BeerTender®

tapping mechanism,

make sure that the

draught beer tube is

closed.

The DraughtKegTM tap

or tube is not inserted

correctly.

If the draught beer

tube is not installed

properly in the tapping

mechanism or if the

tube is pinched, this

will affect the beer ﬂow.

Please refer to Section:

Using the BeerTender®
