7. Tap the keg using the keg coupler.

• WARNING: Check that all joints are sufficiently leak-tight after connection.
• If everything is in order, check the thermostat settings (in off position). Connect the cooler to the power mains. Then use the keg coupler to tap the keg, set the desired pressure (1.0-3.4 bar) and use the tap lever to pour out some of the beverage. If the cooler contains remnants of sanitation solution or water, keep the tap lever in open position until only beverage pours out of the tap. Set the desired beverage temperature on the thermostat.

HOW TO WORK WITH SPEED FITTINGS

Speed Fitting Installation

• Grasp the speed fitting and insert the hose all the way inside the speed fitting body (ca. 20 mm). The end of the hose must be straight so that it plugs fully into the coupling. If the hose will not go in, moisten the end of the hose.

Speed Fitting Removal

• Hold the grey ring tight against the body of the speed fitting and pull out the hose.
• WARNING: If you do not hold the grey ring but pull at the hose, the speed fitting will cut even deeper into the hose.
• WARNING: Hoses must not be pressurised during removal.

TEMPERATURE AND ADJUSTMENT

• The temperature of the cooled beverage is controlled by a mechanical thermostat in temperature range of 2 °C to 8 °C.
• The thermostat has a numerical scale of 1-7.
• WARNING: If you are using the cooler to cool non-alcoholic beverages, set the thermostat knob to 5 at the most, otherwise, there is a risk of the beverage freezing in the cooler’s tubing and damaging the device.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION

1. Interconnect air supply and beverage supply.

2. Set the thermostat to 0 position.

3. Connect the cooler to the power mains.

4. Tap the keg in accordance with point 16.

5. Turn on the air compressor using the switch and pressurize to the required pressure.

6. Check that all the joints and connections are sufficiently tight.

   • WARNING: If a leakage is found, untap the keg according to point 16 and turn off the device. Fix any leaks found on the tubing. If a leak is found inside the device or you are unsure how to proceed, contact a service centre.

7. Use the dispensing tap to let out some of the beverage and check that there is no water in the device.

   • WARNING: Never set the device to maximum cooling if there is water in the device. May
     cause freezing of the beverage tubing and damage the device.

8. Set the desired temperature on the thermostat – see point 15.

9. The beverage is now cooling; once cooled (ca. 5-10 minutes) you can start pouring the first drink.

TABLE OF MALFUNCTIONS

• NOTE: If the defect persists even after the above steps are taken, contact a service center.

Do not forget to specify the following:

• type of defect
• product type
• production year
• product’s serial number (found on the machine plate)

Ordering Components

• ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL COMPONENTS. The manufacturer or supplier bears no responsibility for non-original components or components not recommended by the manufacturer.

SPARE PARTS

• When ordering spare parts, always provide the following:
• product type
• production year
• product’s serial number
• full name of the spare part and its number

SANITATION BY WATER

(Sanitation Adapter)

• Connect the sanitation adapter (not included) to the water mains using a hose.
• WARNING! Maximum water temperature must not exceed 25 °C.
• NOTE: Sanitation adapter is not included. Can be purchased as an accessory for the cooler.

Sanitation Procedure

• Once you have finished a keg, connect the keg coupler to the sanitation adapter the same way as if you were tapping a keg. Once connected, turn the bar tap lever to the open position and keep it open until clean water flows out of the tap (all beverage residue and partial sediments flush out). For better sanitation of the cooling device, place cleaning balls into the hose beyond the keg coupler and use pressurized water to clean out the beverage tubing.
• NOTE: Remember to dismount the tap and remove the cleaning balls.

MAINTENANCE

Flush the beverage tubing of the cooler after each use with pressurized water (see Sanitation by Water). To make flushing easier, use a sanitation adapter according to your type of keg coupler (not included in standard accessories). The cooler must be sanitized once every 14 days by a person with chemical engineering qualifications. The condenser must be checked for cleanliness every month. Any dirt found must be cleaned with compressed air or wiped off. Otherwise, there is a risk of reduced cooling output or damage to the cooler.

INSPECTION BEFORE EVERY USE

1. Visual check.
2. Lead-in cable check.
3. Condenser cleanliness check (in case of excess pollution of the condenser, clean more frequently than 1x a month).

WARNING: Do not use the device if defects or malfunctions are found.

PERIODIC CHECKS

• 1x a week: check that the lead-in cable is undamaged and that the plug is firmly in the socket.
• 1x a week: check that the device is not exposed to radiant heat.
• 1x a week: check that air circulation is not obstructed.
• 1x a month: check the cooling unit’s condenser and clean it regularly.
• 1x a year: have an engineering inspector check the electrical safety of the device.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste Sorting

• This product must not be disposed of in communal waste. Electrical waste in the Czech Republic is disposed of within the Rema System (www.remasystem.cz).
• In countries other than the Czech Republic, waste sorting is subject to local regulations.
• Sorting waste allows recycling and reusing of used products and packaging materials. The reuse of recycled material helps protect the environment from pollution and reduces resource consumption. Local regulations may regulate the method of disposing of household ap-pliances at local collection points or at the point of sale.
