Care and Cleaning
1. Pull up on pressure release valve ring (Fig. A, page 2) to release any remaining gas in keg.
2. Unscrew tap assembly and remove it from keg. Pour out any remaining coffee.
3. Pull silicone tube off the barbed fitting and dispensing spout off spout connector.
4. To flush coffee out of the barbed fitting, run water through the spout connector while pressing down the tap.
5. Wash keg, silicone tube, tap head, dispensing spout, and collapsible funnel in warm water. Use small brush to thoroughly clean
inside both ends of the dispensing spout.
IMPORTANT:
Do not wash any of the coffee dispenser parts in the dishwasher. Also avoid using harsh detergents, degreasers,
abrasives, or acidic cleaning agents.
Note:
For a more thorough cleaning, fill keg with hot water and 1 tablespoon baking soda and soak for 10 minutes. Use large keg
brush to clean inside keg, reaching the entire bottom and top inside rim. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Allow keg to dry upside down. Do not reattach tap head or keg cap until keg is completely dry.
7. Over time, O-rings on spout and tap head may tear or become damaged. If this occurs, one set of replacement O-rings is included.
Remove worn O-ring(s) with your fingernail, the end of a paper clip, or carefully cut with an X-acto* knife. Discard and replace
with new O-ring(s).
Questions and Answers
I did not hear a “whoosh” sound when I attached the cartridge holder to the cartridge valve. Why?
1. The cartridge may not be positioned correctly in the cartridge holder (Fig. D, page 2). Reposition it and try again.
2. The cartridge holder is not screwed on far enough. Turn it until you hear a “whoosh”.
3. The cartridge may have already been used or is defective. Try again with a new cartridge.
When I charged the coffee dispenser, coffee sprayed out of the unit and an excessive amount of gas released. What caused this?
You used more than 48 ounces of coffee. When you overfill the keg, there is not enough room for the injected gas, causing a brief
release of the excess gas and coffee. If this occurs, remove the tap assembly and empty the coffee into a container. Remeasure the
coffee and repeat the steps on page 2; do not use more than 48 ounces of coffee.
There is no foam on my coffee or cascading. What am I doing wrong?
The coffee may have lost some gas during storage. Charge it with another cartridge.
Sometimes when I dispense the coffee, very little comes out. Why does this happen?
1. Sediment in the keg may have blocked the tap head due to inadequately filtered homemade coffee. Refilter the coffee and then
recharge it.
2. The coffee may have lost some gas during storage. Charge it with another cartridge.
