3.8 Inserting the keg into the appliance and connecting it
The pre-cooled keg is now ready to be inserted into the appliance. Proceed as follows:
Carefully guide the keg into the cooling bowl, making sure to keep it vertical.
The beer tube (L) must point exactly in the direction of the dispense tap and it must
be easy to insert into the retainer groove (Figure 18).
Remove the red protection cap from the beer spout (O) (Figure 19).
Bend the beer tube downwards until it is positioned entirely in the retainer
groove and the upper orange part of the valve (M) can be inserted into the
valve retainer (Figure 20).
Now use your thumb to firmly press the lower black part of the valve (M) into
the metallic valve holder such that the valve is not pressed back out after you
let go (Figure 21).
Flip up the tap cover (K) as far as it will go. This cover must remain in the end
position after you let go. If the cover springs forwards once again, this indicates
that the beer tube or the valve is not positioned correctly (Figure 22+23).

NOTE
I
t is essential to ensure that the in line dispensing valve is securely
positioned. If this is not the case, it will still be possible to open the valve
with the tap, but the valve will not close again once the tap handle (H)
is moved upwards. This will lead to an uncontrolled discharge of beer.
