HOW TO OPERATE
Before you begin, determine whether you are tapping a pressurized keg,
non-pressurized keg, or the included 5L Growler Keg.
Follow the steps below for each type of keg.
To replace the CO2 O-Ring (pictured), take a small screwdriver
or tweezers and dig underneath the ring and lift upward
to pop it out. When putting in the new O-Ring, the ring will
need to be pushed into the space and adjusted to fit.
DISPENSING FROM 5L STANDARD NON-PRESSURIZED KEGS
1.
Chill the keg for 10-12 hours in the refrigerator, or for 4-6 hours in an ice bath.
2.
Find a stable, waterproof surface near an electrical outlet to set the unit. Make sure the cord
is away from any water source.
NOTE: When moving the keg, take care not to shake or jostle the keg
as it may cause your beer to pour with too much foam.
3.
Check that the Drain Tab is in the closed position (up position),
and there are no extra objects in the Cooling Cavity.
4.
Add 3 cups (800 ml) of water into the Cooling Cavity. Be sure water levels do not exceed
the MAX line found inside the Cooling Cavity. The water works to keep the keg cool.
5.
Set the LED Temperature Display to your desired temperature by pressing the "-" and "+"
buttons.
NOTE: It may take several hours to reach your desired temperature.
This is why it is important to chill your keg beforehand.
6.
Turn the Power Switch to ON (I).
7.
Follow the steps under KEG LIFTER ASSEMBLY for STANDARD NON-
PRESSURIZED KEGS, and secure the Keg Lifter Assembly to your keg.
8.
Turn the CO2 Regulator Knob to the OFF position (turn dial all the way clockwise).
9.
Making sure the keg is upright, carefully place your keg into the Cooling Cavity.
NOTE: Make sure the Suction Cup is securely fashioned to the bottom of
the Cooling Cavity. The Suction Cup ensures the keg will not float.
10. Connect the Keg Adapter to the CO2 Line and Beer Line.
11. Tilt the CO2 Holder out from the Top Cover and
unscrew the CO2 Sheath. Screw in the CO2
cartridge into the CO2 holder and then screw the
CO2 Sheath back on, covering the CO2 cartridge.
NOTE: When the CO2 cartridge has been
pierced, you should hear a short burst
of CO2 escape from the cartridge.
12. To pour a beer, slowly turn the
Regulator Dial counterclockwise
to increase the CO2 pressure within the keg. When you hear the CO2
begin to flow, you may want to pause to try pouring a beer.
•
If the beer does not have enough foam for your liking, slowly increase the CO2
pressure. DO NOT increase the CO2 pressure too quickly or your beer may dispense too
quickly and with too much foam.
PRO TIP: When the regulator is open, CO2 will continue flowing into the keg. This may
