Control display
Your appliance features a large display providing you
with important and useful information.
On the left side of the display:
a. Volume indicator
The BeerTender Keg volume is indicated with 4
levels. The 4 levels are visible when the keg is full.
They disappear progressively while emptying the keg.
The last level starts to blink when only two glasses
of beer (+ / - one) are left in the keg. This gives you
the possibility to prepare in advance a new keg to be
insereted in the appliance.
b. Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator goes from red, for a beer
which is too warm, to orange when cooling of the
beer is almost complete. The perfect draught beer
temperature is attained when the indicator is green.
Warning: never use your BeerTender with ambient
temperature above 30°C. Above that level, the 3°C set
regulation temperature can not be attained and the
temperature indicator will never reach the green level.
Sound emitted by the BeerTender appliance
The cooling function of the BeerTender produces sound.
The BeerTender features a cooling system which
controls the temperature of the BeerTender Keg. There
are two cooling modes:
1. Stand-by cooling, which is used in normal
operating conditions. In this mode the cooling fan
produces a barely audible noise;
2. Active cooling, which is triggered when temperature
inside the cooling chamber is too high. As soon as the
cooling chamber reaches the right temperature, the
appliance will switch back into the stand-by mode.
7 Dispensing beer
Note: always check the "best before end" date shown
at the bottom of the BeerTender Keg. Do not use the
BeerTender Keg beyond this date.
Note: the beer must be dispensed into suitable
containers; the dispensing funtion is started and
stopped manually by the user.

Step 1 - Preparing a glass
In order to obtain perfect draft beer, it is essential to
start with a clean, cool glass.
Rinse the glass in cold water before dispensing beer
(the colder the glass the better).
Tip: we recommend using your beer glasses for drinking
beer alone. Some beverages, like milk, leave a small
residue in the glass which will reduce the head on your
beer.
Step 2 – Dispensing beer
Tip: verify on the control display that the beer has
reached the right drinking temperature.
Position a glass beneath the tap, holding it at an angle
of 45 degrees (see picture).
Avoid contact between the dispensing spout and the
glass. This could cause excessive foaming.
Firmly and quickly pull the handle down as far as it will
go. Let the beer run into the glass.
Avoid contact between the dispensing spout, glass and
beer already in the glass.
Note: Every time you install a new keg in the
BeerTender, the first glass of beer will fill up with too
much foam. When this occurs, allow the glass to stand
on the drip tray. As soon as the foam has settled, fill up
the glass.
Note: Too much foam will also be generated if the tap
handle is opened just slightly or slowly, several beers
can be dispensed in sequence when the tap handle is
open. The beer will flow out more slowly after the first
glass has been filled.
Step 3 – Beer in the glass
Place the glass of beer on the grate and wait for the
foam to settle.
