Chilling the DraughtKegTM

1.Before pouring a draught beer, it is very important that the Heineken®, Heineken Premium Light® DraughtKegTM and Newcastle Brown Ale® DraughtKeg™ reach the correct temperature.

2.Ensure DraughtKegTM is sufficiently chilled before pouring a draught beer. Insufficiently chilled DraughtKegsTM will produce too much foam. It is ideal to purchase the DraughtKegTM pre-chilled or pre-chill over night before intended use.

If the DraughtKegTM needs additional chilling, there are 2 recommended options:

a.Inside the BeerTender® – Depending on the temperature of the DraughtKegTM, it will take up to 18 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature.

b.In a refrigerator – Depending on the temperature of your refrigerator, it will take up to 12 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature.

Tip: We recommend that you always keep an extra DraughtKegTM in your refrigerator to always have a chilled keg available.

Preparing the BeerTender®

IMPORTANT: It is important that the BeerTender® power switch is turned on before inserting the DraughtKegTM.

nAfter setting up the BeerTender® and before use, it is vital to clean the detachable pour spout – this is the only part of the appliance that will come into contact with the beer. The spout should be rinsed by hand. After cleaning, screw back into place - fig. 5.

nBefore inserting the DraughtKegTM into the BeerTender®, simply snap the patented disposable draught beer tube (5 tubes included) onto the DraughtKegTM - fig. 6.

nOpen the BeerTender® cover by pressing in the release panel on the top of the machine and remove the tap spout cover - fig. 7-8-9.

nPlace DraughtKegTM into BeerTender® - fig. 10.

nPosition the draught beer tube as shown in drawing - fig. 11-12.

nPut the tap spout cover back into place - fig. 13.

nCarefully close the lid - fig. 14.

nSet the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure the drip tray is properly fitted and positioned.

WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting on.

Control Panel

nYour appliance features a display providing you with important and useful information.

nTwo LEDs on the top of the lid provide important indications:

-Green (ON/OFF) LED on the left of the panel: when lit, it indicates that the appliance is operating - fig. 15.

-Green beer-temperature LED on the right side of the panel: when the DraughtKegTM has reached the ideal temperature the LED switches on and the appliance goes into “stand-by” cooling mode - fig. 16.

Warning: never use your BeerTender® with ambient temperature above 86°F. Above that level, the ideal serving temperature can not be attained.

Pouring a beer from the BeerTender®

nBefore pouring a beer, rinse a clean glass in cold water which chills the glass and wets the inside to enable a perfectly smooth draught pour. Use of 8 oz glasses is recommended to maintain the ideal serving temperature - fig. 17.

Draught and Drink

nBe aware that the first glass you pour from every new DraughtKegTM will contain mostly foam. This is typical of draught beer. Allow the foam to settle and continue to pour.

nTilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as you pour and adjust upright as the glass fills - fig. 18.

nEnsure you pull the tap handle all the way down. Not opening the handle all the way will result in excessive foam.

nFor the optimal draught beer drinking experience, serve your beer with a foam head of 2 fingers in height (approximately 1.5”).

Proper Care and Cleaning of your BeerTender®

nThe drip tray and grate should be emptied and cleaned after each use - fig. 19.

nBefore cleaning the appliance, it is essential to turn off the ON/OFF switch and then pull the plug out of the socket.

nKeep in mind that during use the drip tray will have to be emptied and rinsed regularly. The tray and grate are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand with a mild detergent. Dry completely.

nAlways wipe down the interior of the BeerTender® after use - fig. 20. 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 avoid unpleasant odors.
