GETTING THE BEERTENDER
FOR YOUR OWN AND OTHERS' SAFETY, PLEASE KEEP METICULOUSLY TO
THE "SAFETY RULES".
COOLING THE BEERTENDER
„ Beertender ® kegs must be chilled before use.
„ Using a Beertender keg that is too warm will result in too much foam.
®
„ There are two ways to chill the Beertender
1. inside the Beertender (see "Using the Beertender
®
cool the keg down if the Beertender
temperature of 20°C.
2. in a refrigerator. This will take about 12 hours depending on the cooling capacity of your
refrigerator.
Tip: we recommend that you always keep an extra Beertender
way you will always have a chilled keg available.
We also recommend that you switch the appliance on at least one hour before intended use to
get full benefit from the pre-cooling of the keg.
Do not attempt to chill the keg in a freezer. The kegs are at risk of exploding if
