Electrical Connection
Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock.
If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti
Products service center.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the
power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-
prong ground. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet by a qualified technician.
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Installation of Your Mini Pub
-
Take the appliance out of its packaging (do not allow children to play with plastic parts, as this can cause a possible choking hazard).
-
Place your Mini Pub on a steady and horizontal flat surface, leaving at least 5 inches / 10 cm on either side so as to allow correct ventilation of the appliance.
-
Set the drip tray into the notch provided.
-
Install the dispenser handle on the dispensing head, making sure that both endpieces perfectly fit together.
-
Connect the appliance to the 115V AC or 12V DC power supply (cigarette-lighter adapter supplied).
-
The dispensing unit supplied with your Mini Pub is preassembled at the factory, in the event you encounter problems with the assembly of the dispensing unit please check that the following are true.
-
Screw the piercing pin into the dispensing unit. Make sure that the transparent seal is properly located on the pin before screwing, otherwise, fit it correctly.
Preparing the keg
Your 5L Mini Pub will keep your 5L Keg cool for an almost indefinite period. We do, however, suggest that you initially cool your chosen mini-keg for at least 12 hours in your refrigerator before placing it into the Mini Pub. Once a pre-chilled keg has been inserted into the running Mini Pub, it will maintain a nice, cool temperature. Remember to keep your Mini Pub out of direct sunlight and away from any other direct sources of heat.
This appliance is designed for most 5-liter kegs.
Your Mini Pub can cool a 5-liter keg from 25°C to 5°C (77º to 41ºF) in 9
hours.
You can also place the keg in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours to expedite
cooling.
Your Mini Pub is designed to refrigerate a 5-liter keg down to a 6 °C (43ºF)
temperature within 10 hours.
Never put a keg into the freezer. The beer might freeze and the keg could
burst.
IMPORTANT:
Before piercing the plug on the top of the keg, you must always follow the
instructions marked on the keg to eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the
keg has rested long enough to avoid foam coming out through the tap faucet.
a) Heineken keg:
When using the Heineken type keg:
Remove the spout that is supplied with the keg. Remove the adaptor from the
keg.
Using the Heineken keg adapter supplied with your Mini-Pub attach to the
dispensing end of the spout. Proceed to install the spout and adapter as
instructed by the instructions on your keg.
b) Keg with rubber plug:
This type of plug allows you to pierce the keg simply using the dispensing
kit.
c) Keg with combined plug:
This type of plug requires the excess air to be vented from the keg by
complying with the instructions indicated on the keg. Then, this part must be
removed by vigorously pulling it so as to reveal the second part of the plug
which can be pierced as in example b).
d) Keg with vent plug:
Since both plugs are visually similar, it is impossible to differentiate
between a vent plug and a combined plug.
With the vent plug, proceed as with the combined plug (see example c): open
the plug and allow the air to vent out (Follow the keg manufacturer’s guide as
printed on the keg).
Then, you must remove the vent plug as follows:
Using a flat head screwdriver, place the screwdriver underneath the locking
ring and lift up the plug. A part of the plug will fall into the keg. This is
normal and will not alter the beer’s flavor.
Then, fit the all-purpose plug (orange keg seal) provided with your appliance
into the opening where the original plug used to be.
d) Other types of kegs:
Remove the plug’s cover then cut the vent plug with the pliers or other tools. Then, fit the all-purpose plug (orange keg seal) provided with your appliance into the opening where the original plug used to be.
For the last two types of kegs, fit the orange all-purpose plug delivered with your appliance in the existing keg hole further to cutting the plug.
CAUTION: allow the beer to rest before piercing the plug so as to avoid
projections.
When the keg is empty, remove the orange all-purpose plug and clean it with
dishwashing liquid.
Carefully rinse the plug. It is then ready for use with another keg.
f) Piercing pin:
For easier installation of the dispensing unit and the piercing pin, place it
under running water so that it is wet at the time of insertion.
Fit the bit vertically and drive it vigorously into the keg.
Then, secure the dispensing head on the keg, pull the locking latch outwards
then release it. A click should be heard, indicating that the dispensing head
is correctly secured on the keg.
IMPORTANT:
Once the keg is pierced, the beer contained must be consumed within 28 days,
provided that it remains refrigerated.
Setting up the keg
- Open the door by depressing the push button located over the door on the right.
- Place the keg on the refrigerating stand, making sure that the female plug of the dispensing head is on the right.

DRAUGHT BEER TROUBLE GUIDE
CLOUDY BEER
When beer in glass appears hazy, and not clear.
- Over chilling beverage cooler and/or beverage lines.
|
- Excessive low temperatures may cause hazy, cloudy beer, particularly when beer lies in cold coil for long periods of time. Make certain that lines are thoroughly cleaned, and then raise temperature slightly.
---|---
- Contaminated air source. If possible change to CO2 gas as a pressure source.
- Defective Thomas or tongue vents.
|
-
See flat beer, correction #7
-
Always draw fresh air from an outside source to compressor. Attach hair felt filter to the outside intake, in addition to filter in line.
-
Bacteria growth may result from beer backing up through defective vents in air line, air pressure will then carry this into beer barrel.
-
Check and replace defective vents frequently, and thoroughly clean air line.
-
General beer. conditions causing cloudy
|
- See wild beer corrections #2, #5, #6, and #7, and flat beer corrections #5, #7, and #8.
FLAT BEER
Foamy head disappears quickly: beer lacks usual zestful brewery fresh flavor.
- Greasy glass
|
-
Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have contained milk or any other fatty substance. Lipstick is a fatty substance.. Make sure it is removed from glass.
-
Excess amount of germicides build up and leave a fatty film on glass, which may cause flat beer.
It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses where health laws permit. -
Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent.· Do not use soap.
-
Do not dry-wipe glasses. Permit glasses to air- dry by placing them on wire or corrugated metal.
-
Rinse in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass.
---|---
- Improper drawing of beer into glass.
|
-
Open faucet quickly and completely.
-
Check and find the correct distance to hold glass from faucet when drawing. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head, and the collar on the average glass should be ¾” to 1” high.
-
Beer drawn without head has appearance of being flat.
-
Not enough pressure.
|
-
Increase pressure if beer runs too slowly. Correct flow is to fill
-
Defective Thomas and Tongue Vents.· Pressure is shut off.
|
-
Check all washers frequently, particularly the air vents. A clogged vent will obstruct the flow of air or Co2.· Check source of pressure. Check power source when air compressor is used. Air compressor should never be connected to light switch. Make certain to have a separate electric plug outlet for the compressor.
-
Check CO2 tank, if empty, replace (See inside cover for proper procedure).
-
When barrel is tapped, and proper pressure applied, pressure must always remain on until barrel is empty.
-
If beer is started without first applying pressurebeer will be wild at the start, and flat towards the end.
-
Pre-color, or beer system, too cold.
|
-
With an accurate the rmometer, check temperature in pre-cooler or box.
-
Temperature at the faucet should always be colder by at least two degrees than at theprecooler or box.
-
Sluggish pressure regulators.
|
-
A regular seat, or the regulator diaphragm, may require replacing.
-
Also, check the same as you would for Corrections 3 & 4.
-
Contaminated air source.
-
Oil or grease fumes.
|
-
Filter all air after it leaves compressor.
-
Oil fume from compressor, of kitchen grease fumes, pumped into beer, will cause Flat Beer.
-
If possible CO2 gas should be used as a pressure source.
-
Rapid movement of air.
|
- An air fan, or exhaust blower drawing air, or blowing air, across the bar where beer is drawn, may cause the dead of foam to fall quickly. Fans or blowers should be located so that air movement is not directly across from wherebeer is drawn.
LOOSE FOAM
- Large soap-like bubbles (sometimes called fish eyes). Foam settles quickly.
|
- This is generally a Flat Beer condition: the Causes and corrections for Flat Beer should be followed.
---|---
OFF-TASTE BEER
Often bitter and bitey, sometimes completely odor, carrying an unpleasant taste.
Beer lines should be flushed after each barrel is empty. Maintain fresh, Clean, sanitary conditions at bar. Smoke, kitchen odors, fly sprays, and disinfectants will harm the tast and flavor of beer, making it unpalatable. These conditions, as described, may come from an air source, or from actual contact with the glass at bar.
- Contaminated Air Line. Defective Thomas or Tongue Bents.
|
- Air hoses, air lines and vents, should be examined, and if contaminated, replaced.
- Dirty air lines should be washed with a good cleaning compound, normally used for cleaning coils, and then rinsed clean.
---|---
- Hose will absorb and retain odors.
|
- Rubber hose will absorb and retain odors. An approved Vinyl tubing is best for air since it does not absorb moisture, and is not affected by oily substances.
- A fresh, outdoor, air line is imperative when air is the source of pressure.
SOUR BEER
May taste and smell extremely yeasty, or moldy.
- Contaminated Air Line.
|
- See Cloudy Beer, Correction #3
- See Off-Taste Beer, Correction #2·
- See Flat Beer, Correction #7
---|---
- Improper transportation of barrels of beer, Beer delivered on open truck, during high summer temperatures, may be the cause for starting secondary fermentation.
|
-
If at all possible, deliver beer barrels in closed body, refrigerated truck. If open staked body truck is used, cover barrels with a tarpaulin for protection against summer heat, and circulating warm air.
-
Truck should never be loaded the night before morning delivery, unless beer is refrigerated in truck.
-
No refrigeration, and improper rotation.
|
- The rule is first barrel in, first tapped.
- Refrigeration must be left on winter or summer.· Sour beer is generated as a result of secondary fermentation, above 45 degrees. Retail outlets that do not have refrigeration should ice up barrels, or at least cover barrels with tarpaulin or burlap bags.
- Best temperature for barrels is 38° to 40°.
WILD BEER
Beer, when drawn, is all foam, or too much foam, and not enough liquid beer.
TAIL END BEER
Beer draws well at the beginning of the barrel. Towards the end of the
barrel the beer is flat. This is more likely to occur when beer turnover is
slow.
