Tips for Best Results
1.For best results, use clean glasses. Rinsing the glasses with cold water prior to pouring can deliver better results (less foam).
2.Hold the glass at an angle under the dispenser. Do not touch the nozzle of the dispenser to the glass.
3.Pull the dispenser handle towards you to start the flow of beer. Open the dispenser up all the way to get the maximum flow rate (this will decrease foam).
4.Slowly tip the glass upright as it fills.
5.Gently ease the dispenser handle back to the “closed” position as the foam nears the lip of the glass.
6.Enjoy your beer!

Cleaning and Maintenance
You should clean the lines after every mini keg.
Cleaning the lines
Before tapping your first mini keg, and after each mini keg, clean the lines.
1.Fill the “Squeeze bottle” cleaning kit half full of water. Add a small amount of detergent, baking soda, white vinegar, or beer line cleaner. Mix the mixture thoroughly.
2.Attach the nozzle of the squeeze bottle to the beer line. Place a cup or bowl underneath the beer dispenser.
3.Squeeze the bottle while opening the dispenser all the way, forcing the cleaning mixture through the beer line and into the cup/bowl beneath the nozzle.
4.Once all the mixture has run through the line, rinse out the squeeze bottle.
5.Refill the squeeze bottle with water and repeat the above process with water until the lines are clear of cleaning solution.
Cleaning the Mini Kegerator
For cleaning the other parts of the unit, a damp cloth with a mild detergent solution is suggested.
