the bottom of the rigid tube to meet the YELLOW adaptor.
4. You will need to decompress the keg, removing any pressure from inside it, before putting
it into the appliance.
N.B.: always check the instructions on how to eliminate excess gas on the keg itself.
It is essential that the keg be kept upright and not shaken for several hours before use.
Otherwise, an excessive amount of froth will form when the keg is tapped.
a. Depressurise the keg.
- Place the 5L keg on a table.
- Pull out the built-in tap on the keg (located in the lower front part of the keg) and half-
fill a glass.
b. Ventilate the keg
- Remove the plastic plug from the keg (located on top of the keg) to allow air into the
keg.
- Using pliers, remove the ring from around the cap. Make sure that you have sufficient
space to slide the rigid tube into the keg.
5. Insert the end of the rigid yellow tube into the hole on top of the keg and push the tube
in until the flexible black ring clips tightly into the hole on top of the keg. The ends of
the YELLOW adaptor will clip onto the ends of the keg.
6. Put the keg into the machine.
7. Wipe up any spillage.
8. Install the outlet tube by lowering the handle of the tap and inserting the tube into
the opening located at the back. The tube must reach the outlet of the tap and the
clamp (black rectangle) must automatically lock to hold the tube in place.
Check that the clamp is correctly positioned in the designated space.
9. Connect the outlet tube with the YELLOW adaptor to the ‘BEVERAGE OUT’ nozzle of the
YELLOW adaptor.
10. Attach the air inlet tube to one of the metal ‘air’ or ‘CO2’ connectors located in front of
the lid hinge.
The air pump is required for unpressurised kegs. Unpressurised kegs have a small amount
of internal pressure which must be released. They are then pressurised by the air pump
or the CO² cartridge.
Should you wish to use the air pump on the machine:
- Locate the flexible air or CO2 inlet tube.
N.B.: The flexible air or CO2 inlet tube is equipped with a ‘backstop valve’. The red arrow
on the valve, indicating the direction of connection, must be directed towards the YELLOW
adaptor. In the event of poor connection, the beverage will leak into the pump, resulting
in the machine having to be returned to our technical department for examination and
repair at your expense.
- Place the flexible tube over the metal ‘AIR’ nozzle and fasten the retaining spring over the
top of it to ensure the connection is perfectly airtight.
