DISPENSING BEER

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Beer is easily available with Danby's new Keg Cooler Refrigerator, however, it is not intended to be avail- able to people under the legal age to consume beer. One of the options Danby offers is a lock so that access to the ice cold beer can be limited. Danby does not assume liability for the unlawful use or con- sumption of the beer. PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

•Keep beer keg refrigerated at all times.

•Never let beer lines empty or allow them to dry out.

•Rinse the beer glass with fresh cold water before pouring.

•Hold glass at a 45º angle, hold steady, when 2/3 full start to straighten glass and top it off.

•When beer is dispensing through the faucet, condensation may form on the outer surface of the faucet. This is a normal condition and cannot be avoided. This is caused by temperature differentials between cold beer flowing across the warmer ambient surfaces of the inner faucet.

•Always make sure the faucet handle is pushed fully back (closed) to prevent excess dripping.

•A beer faucet lock kit for the purpose of limiting access, is readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department at 1-800 26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629)

CLEANING BEER LINES

Why do dispensing lines have to be cleaned?

Beer lines have to be cleaned because a scale called calcium oxalate, commonly referred to as "beer- store" forms on the fittings, lines and taps.

"Beerstore", if not completely removed in a cleaning process will leave an unsanitary surface that can har- bour microorganisms.

Line cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of 'beerstore" protecting the integrity of the product.

Microorganisms or bacteria will grow very quickly if a sanitary environment is not maintained, causing "off- flavours" or shorten the shelf life of beer.

Regular cleaning assures that bacteria does not have the opportunity to reach levels which affect the quality/taste of the beer.

Line cleaning should be done on a regularly scheduled basis.(approximately every 6 weeks) A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings.

Line cleaning kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department. For more information please call 1-800 26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629)
