CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Electricity can be dangerous! Therefore you must always scrupulously abide by the safety
rules.
„
The appliance must be plugged into a suitable, properly installed electric socket.
„
The voltage of the appliance has been set in the factory. Check that the mains voltage
matches the voltage indicated on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance.
„
Switch on the appliance by inserting the plug into a socket with the correct voltage -
fig. 10
.
The appliance will immediately start cooling the inner chamber as soon as the plug is connected

INSERTING A BEERTENDER
®
KEG
„ Note: the Beertender
®
may only be used with Beertender
®
Kegs “Compatible Beertender
®
”
containing beer sold by the Heineken group.
„ The appliance can only be used if it contains a Beertender
®
Keg and only if the power plug
is connected to the socket.
„ The light indicator on the front of the machine, when illuminated, tells you that the appliance is
switched on and is cooling the inner chamber.
„ You can open the appliance by pulling the handle on top of the lid. When the handle is
released, you can lift the lid up - fig. 11-12 .
Note: do not force the lid beyond the set opening position as this could damage it.
„ When the lid is completely open, insert a Beertender ® Keg (with the beertube fixed on it) as
shown in the figure - fig. 13 .
„
Remove the upper part of the dispensing head (5) by lifting it upwards as indicated in the
illustration - fig. 14 .
Note: this cover can be removed for cleaning.

„ Ensure that the upper part of the dispensing head is positioned in the beer pump mechanism
before closing the lid.

GETTING THE BEERTENDER
®
READY
FOR YOUR OWN AND OTHERS’ SAFETY, PLEASE KEEP METICULOUSLY TO
THE “SAFETY RULES”.
COOLING THE BEERTENDER
®
KEG
„
Beertender
®
kegs must be chilled before use.
„
Using a Beertender
®
keg that is too warm will result in too much foam.
„
There are two ways to chill the Beertender
®
Keg:
1. inside the Beertender
®
(see “Using the Beertender
®
”). It will take about 15 hours to
cool the keg down if the Beertender
®
Keg and the appliance are stabilized at a room
temperature of 20°C.
2. in a refrigerator. This will take about 12 hours depending on the cooling capacity of your
refrigerator.
Tip: we recommend that you always keep an extra Beertender
®
Keg in the refrigerator. That
way you will always have a chilled keg available.
We also recommend that you switch the appliance on at least one hour before intended use to
get full benefit from the pre-cooling of the keg.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to chill the keg in a freezer. The kegs are at risk of exploding if
they are frozen. Moreover, freezing diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29 .
INSTALLING THE BEERTENDER
®
APPLIANCE
„ The original packing is designed and made to protect the appliance. It is recommended that
you keep it for future transport.
„ Remove the Beertender
®
appliance from the packaging and place it on a dry, clean, level,
stable surface that is sufficiently large to accommodate it.
„ Remove all packaging, stickers or various accessories both inside and outside the product.
Install the serving handle. - fig. 1
„ The temperature of the room must be between 12°C and 30°C. At temperatures above 30°C,
the system will not be able to sufficiently cool the beer. -

.
„
Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure the drip tray is
properly fitted and positioned.
„
Do not install the appliance near sources of heat or in places exposed to direct sunlight. -
fig.2
Note:
keep in mind that during use the drip tray will have to be emptied and rinsed regularly.
When the Beertender
®
system is not in use, you can remove the drip tray and place it
elsewhere to save space.
Note: The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must not jut out from the surface
it is resting on.
„ After installing the Beertender
®
appliance you must clean the dispensing spout; this is the
only part of the appliance that will come into contact with the beer - fig. 8 .
„
It is essential that you wash the dispensing spout before using the appliance for the first time
and at least every time a new keg is connected inside the Beertender
®
system. The nozzle is
dishwasher-safe - fig. 9 .
„ To clean the spout, remove it from its housing by turning it clockwise. After washing the spout,
screw it back into place - fig. 8 .
