Step 4 – The quality of a glass of beer
An excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:
1. A head of about 3 cms;
2. A head evenly distributed around the wall of the
glass and adhering to the surface of the beer;
3. A crystal clear colour, with bubbles of carbon
dioxide escaping from the sides and bottom of the
glass;
Note: to prevent excessive foam from forming, always
use a pre-chilled BeerTender Keg and a clean glass
rinsed in cold water.
8 Cleaning
In addition to routine cleaning, the BeerTender should
be cleaned after daily use and when you install a new
BeerTender Keg.
Warning! Do not dry the appliance and/or its
components in a microwave and/or conventional oven.
Keep clean the ventilation grid at the back of the machine.
Cleaning after daily use
The drip tray and grate should be cleaned after every
use.
Remove the grate before emptying out the drip tray.
The grate must be set back in place during normal use
of the BeerTender.
Note: You can wash the drip tray with warm water and
a mild detergent. The drip tray is also dishwasher safe.
Warning! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such
as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol.
Cleaning after installation of a new BeerTender Keg
When you install a new BeerTender Keg you must clean
the dispensing spout. The spout is the only part of the
appliance that comes into contact with the beer.
It is essential to wash the spout either normally by hand
or in a dishwasher.

Note: the dispensing spout comprises plastic and
metal parts that are permanently joined together and do
not pose any problems of hygiene. Do not attempt to
separate these parts.
The beer dispensing mechanism must be cleaned using
a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Note: use a piece of cotton to thoroughly clean all the
parts.
Warning! Do not attempt to clean the mechanism using
hard and/or sharp objects: it is a precision component
and you will risk damaging it.
Routine cleaning
Clean the appliance cooling chamber on a regular basis
using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Warning! Do not fill the cooling chamber with water
as this may result in permanent damage. Never use
aggressive agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or
petrol.
The tap cover can be removed.
Open the cover and remove it. Clean it with warm water
and a mild detergent.
Warning! Do not wash the tap cover in a dishwasher,
as it could be damaged and lose its shine. Never use
aggressive agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or
petrol.
9 Children's safety
To prevent children from using the appliance, you can
remove the tap handle.
To remove the handle, make sure it is in an upright
position and pull it upwards.
