CAUTIONARY NOTES

USING THE BEERTENDER SYSTEM

To obtain draft beer of optimal quality you should keep two basic factors in
mind, the temperature of the beer and hygienic conditions.
1. Pre-chill the beer keg to prevent excess foam. Always use a chilled keg.
If you fail to chill the keg sufficiently too much foam will be produced
when you start to pour your beer.
2. Always clean the appliance after use. Beer is a natural product that
can spoil. Therefore, you should always keep the appliance clean to
maintain the quality of the beer dispensed and prevent unpleasant
odours (see "Cleaning"). The dispensing spout should be cleaned
before a new keg is installed and the drip tray and grate should be
emptied after every use - fig. 3.
You should also follow these other rules when using the BeerTender system:
■
1. Do not attempt to chill a BeerTender Keg in your freezer. Just like glass
bottles, a keg may burst when placed in the freezer. Moreover, freezing
diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29.
2. Use your BeerTender in a place where the temperature is between
12°C and 30°C. At colder temperatures the appliance cooling system
could be damaged, whereas at warmer temperatures the system will
not be able to reach the ideal beer dispensing temperature. Store the
beer keg at room temperature - fig. 4.
WARNING!
direct sunlight - fig. 30.
3. Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when lifting it - fig. 5.
WARNING!
- fig. 31.

USING THE KEG

Make sure that you chill the keg before using it. If you fail to chill the keg
■
sufficiently too much foam will be produced when you start to pour beer.
Please also be aware that the first glass that you pour from every new keg
■
will contain mostly foam. Draught beer in a bar behaves in exactly the same
way!
The BeerTender Keg "Compatible BeerTender" features a patented system
■
for storing and dispensing beer. It guarantees beer of higher, long-lasting
quality and a BeerTender system that is very easy and pleasant to use - fig. 6.
IMPORTANT: before installing a keg inside the appliance, check the "best
before end" date shown at the bottom of the keg. This date is a reliable
indication if the keg has been stored at room temperature.
To avoid overheating, keep the BeerTender Keg out of
Do not use the handle or power cord to lift the BeerTender
