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 ½inches) 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 pre-programmed temperature.

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.

ENGLISH

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-

HEINEKEN.

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. Insufficiently chilled

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

keg available.

Preparing the BeerTender

IMPORTANT: It is important that the BeerTender power

switch is turned on before inserting the DraughtKeg.

ENGLISH

* 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 DraughtKegTM into the

BeerTender, simply snap the patented disposable

draught beer tube (5 tubes included) onto the

DraughtKeg.

* Open the BeerTender cover by pressing in the release

panel on the top of the machine.

* Place DraughtKeg into BeerTender.

* Remove the tap spout cover by lifting it up.

* Position the draught beer tube as shown in drawing.

* Put the tap spout cover back 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.

ENGLISH

WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level

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

on.

Control Panel

Your appliance features a display providing you with

important and useful information.

Two 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.

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.

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

* Before 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.

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. Not

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”).
