Insert the adaptor of the beer line into the corresponding valve, and
the valve for the CO2 line onto the corresponding adaptor. Make sure 10
that the plug connections are as snug as possible so that no CO2 can
10 escape and no beer can leak. They must engage audibly.
Turn over for all the details on connecting the CO2 canister, setting the temperature and pouring a beer!
Connecting the CO2 Cartridge C
The CO2 cartridge may be very cold during / after use, and handling it during
or immediately after use may cause severe burns. After emptying the CO2
cartridge, wait at least ten minutes before replacing it. Never pull the CO2
cartridge out of the device during operation. Only remove the CO2 cartridge
when it is completely empty. DO NOT use any damaged or icy CO2 cartridges with
the device. The CO2 cartridges should be at room temperature for use. Only
insert the CO2 cartridge when the CO2 pressure regulator has been turned to
the “OFF” position. Otherwise, the contents of the CO2 cartridge will empty
into the device! DO NOT transport the device with an inserted and pierced CO2
cartridge.
A 16 g CO2 cartridge is required to draw beer. One cartridge is generally
sufficient for one beer keg. 11 Make sure that the CO2 pressure regulator is
turned to the “OFF” position , and the device is switched off (i.e. the 12
switch is in the “O” position).
If a CO2 cartridge has already been inserted, make sure that it has been
completely emptied before attempting to 13
remove it (see page 18 of the instruction manual).
Fold out and unscrew the cartridge sleeve on the inside of the lid. 14
Insert a CO2 cartridge into the cartridge sleeve, removing the used one before
hand if necessary. 15
Screw the cartridge sleeve with the inserted CO2 cartridge onto the mount in
the lid.
NOTE: Make sure that the cartridge sleeve has been fully tightened so that no
CO2 can escape! The gas can now 16
flow towards the keg.
Fold the cartridge sleeve into the lid. 17
Close the lid until it engages with an audible click. 18
Turn the CO2 pressure regulator anti-clockwise for approx. five seconds as far
as possible, this allows the gas
to flow into the keg and you should hear a hissing sound, and then turn it
clockwise towards the “OFF” as far as 19
possible. NOTE: Please note that the pressure will not change immediately but
will gradually adjust over time. The line marking is a symbol of which
direction to turn for the gas to release, this is not an indication of
variable pressure.

D Setting the Temperature
Plug the appliance into an appropriate wall socket and turn the on / off switch (on the side of the machine) to the “on” ( I ) position. You can then adjust the temperature (using the temperature buttons) by either:
20
Selecting a preprogrammed target temperature: Six target temperatures are stored in the device. They are displayed in the following order:
4 °C >> 8 °C >> 9 °C >> 10 °C >> 11 °C >> 12 °C
Press the “” button and hold it down. The preprogrammed temperatures will appear one after the other
21 on the display.
Let go of the “” button when the temperature you want appears on the display.
The device will then start
cooling until it reaches this new target temperature.
Setting the target temperature manually:
Briefly press the “” button. The device will enter setting mode.
22 Press the “” or “+” button to reduce or increase the target temperature in one degree increments. The
device will then start cooling until it reaches this new target temperature.
E
Pouring a Beer
Wait until the beer has reached the set target temperature. 23
Hold the glass tilted at an angle below the tap. Ensure that the glass does not touch the spout. 24
Pull the tap handle towards you at about a 45° angle and keep it there. Let
the beer flow down the inside of the
glass. If the beer comes out of the spout too slowly, you might need to
increase the pressure. Turn the pressure 25
regulator anti-clockwise all the way for about five seconds then return it to
the “OFF” position.
Gradually tilt the glass upright while pouring. 26
Close the tap once the foam reaches the top of the glass by moving the tap handle back to the vertical position. 27
