COMPONENTS

QUICK START

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

• DO NOT attempt to remove regulator while the cap is still on the bottle
• DO NOT clean plastic components in dishwasher (bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe)
• DO NOT store or use with liquids over 120°F
• Excessive suspended particles may lead to clogs or leaks
• DO NOT fill past “FULL” line

MIXING YOUR DRINK

1. Add enough ice so that there is still some left after shaking. One or two handfuls of ice should be sufficient.
2. If you’re unhappy with how a recipe pours, try adding less sugar or replacing sugar with a different sweetener. Agave nectar or stevia are much less prone to foaming.
3. If you’d like more carbonation in your drink, try shaking for another 30 seconds. The drink will also naturally carbonate as it sits.
4. If you’d like to make teas or other infusions using leaves or solid materials, we recommend making the infusion first then filter and transfer to the Twist.

Quick Hard Seltzer Recipe
Add to TWIST:

1. Handful of ice 2. 3oz (2 shots) of vodka for
   Twist 24, 4.5oz (3 shots) for
   Twist 36

2. Add TWIST flavoring per label instructions

3. Top off with cold filtered water to “FULL” line

QUICK CLEANING

USING THE TWIST

1. The uKeg Twist should maintain adequate pressure to carbonate and dispense the entire contents for up to 8 hours. If you find the uKeg Twist unable to dispense:
   a. If there seems to be too low of pressure to dispense, try shaking the Twist for a few seconds then try again.
   b. If there still not enough pressure to dispense, you can remove the cap to pour the last of your drink.
   c. If pressure was still present in the bottle, the inlet filter may be clogged, follow the procedure outlined in the troubleshooting guide, section 2 for removing and  cleaning the filter.
   d. Be sure to check the cap seal, regulator seal and the cartridge seal. Worn or damaged seals can lead to premature loss of pressure in the uKeg Twist.

2.  There is a safety lock that prevents the Regulator from being unscrewed while the cap is on the bottle.
   If the Regulator cannot unscrew after the cap has been removed, use a small screwdriver or paper clip and push into the small hole beside the regulator. This will push  the lock down into the unlocked position.

3. A filter screen is included with your Twist. This screen should be used anytime you’re putting fresh fruits in the Twist.

MAINTENANCE

1. Always inspect the cartridge seal before use. If the cartridge seal looks warn or damaged, or if there is a small amount of gas leakage around the cap rim when the  cartridge is first pierced, replace the  cartridge seal before using.
   a. Squeeze the tabs on the Cartridge Seal Retainer and pull down.
   b. Remove and replace the Cartridge Seal. Be sure to install the seal in the correct orientation. (The smaller lobe should point outward)
   c. Push the Cartridge Seal Retainer into the Regulator until both tabs snap out and engage.

2. If using again right away…. Check that the cartridge seal is not crushed, run under warm water to quickly re-form seal.

3. Remove the Filter to clean after using fruit or other solids to flavor the uKeg Twist.
   a. Use a small screwdriver or other flat tool to pop the Filter out of the Restrictor.
   b. Clean the filter with small brush or sponge, let fully dry
   c. Replace Filter into the Restrictor by gently pushing around the edge until it clicks in place

4. When reinstalling the straw, for best performance push the straw in firmly to fully seal it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Gas, liquid and/or foam is released around the perimeter of the cap when the cartridge is pierced.| This is an indication the over-pressure release was activated. If the release stops quickly and everything works normally afterward, change the cartridge seal (see maintenance section) before next use. Replacement seals available at growlerwerks.com
If the release continues, follow these steps: 1- Turn the Twist upside down and release pressure by holding the Dispense  button. 2 – Remove Cap. 3 – Unscrew Regulator 4 – Replace the Cartridge Seal (see maintenance section) 5 – einstall the cap and try another cartridge 6 – If the issue persists, contact customer support. The main cap seal may be damaged.  Replacements available at growlerwerks.com
Cartridge well fills up with liquid when the cap  is screwed on.| There is debris stuck under the valve at the bottom of the cartridge well. Carefully clean under the rubber and push  rubber when with your finger while twisting.
The valve at the bottom of the cartridge well is missing or damaged. Replace before using.
There is no drink being dispensed, or drink is dispensing very slowly.| The cartridge may not have pierced. Try screwing the regulator another ¼ turn or so.
There may be a blockage at the filter. If drink is dispensing slowly use as normal, then remove and thoroughly clean filter.
If the Twist is not dispensing at all, try to remove the cap. If the cap comes off easily then the Twist ran  out of gas.
• Check all seals and replace any that show signs of damage.
• Retry with a  new cartridge. Sometimes cartridges are only partially filled
• If problem persists, contact customer service
If the Twist is not dispensing at all, and the cap is too tight to easily remove, then the filter has become completely  blocked.
• Turn the Twist upside down and press Dispense button. Gas should escape until the Twist is depressurized.
• Remove the Cap and Remove the Filter and Restrictor to inspect
• Clean any blockages and retry. The drink may contain too many small particles, in this case filter the drink through a  strainer and replace. Next time use a tea ball or infuser cage to hold solids.
There is a lot of air in the straw before the  drink comes out, having to use the button to drink properly.| The straw may not be properly seated. Clean the straw, make sure there is nothing inside the straw port, and push firmly  to seat.
There may be an issue with the valve diaphragm. Contact customer support.
It feels like you are continuously pulling air in while drinking. Or liquid seeps around the  Dispense button while serving.| There may be an issue with the valve diaphragm. Contact customer support. growlerwerks.com
All of the drink immediately dispenses when  the cartridges is pierced.| The drink valve is damaged or missing. Contact customer support for help.
The Spout seal is missing or damaged. Contact customer support
