PREPARING THE BEER KEG
• It can take up to 15 hours for beer at a
temperature of 22 – 24°C to cool down
to 3 – 12°C in the device. What is more,
a difference in temperature from the
ambient temperature of no more than
20°C can be achieved inside the device.
This is why on hot days in particular a
beer keg should be cooled in the fridge
first. This also allows you to have a sec-
ond beer keg on hand ready to be used
immediately.
• After a beer keg has been transported,
allow it to rest for around two hours be-
fore you vent and tap into it to prevent
excessive frothing.
• Vent a beer keg before the seal plug
is removed. This prevents excessive
amounts of froth escaping from the
ventilation opening.
Before the beer keg can be tapped into, the
plug must be removed.
Beer Kegs with Rubber Plugs
If the beer keg has a rubber plug, simply pull
it out.
Beer Kegs with Combi Plugs
The combi plug is black with a red lid (Pic-
tureS1, back fold-out page).
1. Vent the beer keg. To do this, flip up
the lid and turn it in the direction of the
arrow (PictureS2+3).
2. Allow the beer keg to rest for a mo-
ment.
3. Pull out the lid with a vigorous tug
(PictureS4).

If the plug is damaged, replace it
with the universal adapter that is
also supplied.
Beer Kegs with Vent Plugs
The vent plug is red with a black lid (Pic-
tureT1, back fold-out page).
1. Vent the beer keg. To do this, flip up the
lid and turn it.
2. Remove the plug with the associat-
ed tongs. Alternatively, release the
plug using a screwdriver and hammer
(PictureT2). PLEASE NOTE: The plug
which drops into the beer has no effect
on the taste and is harmless to health.
3. Insert the universal adapter that is also
supplied into the keg.
Fresh Keg
The fresh keg has an integrated valve on
the top of the keg. No seal plug needs to be
removed.
PREPARING THE DEVICE
Please Note!
■ Check the device and the connecting ca-
ble for damage each time before putting
it into operation. The device should only
be used when it is undamaged and in
working order.
■ There may still be some production resi-
dues on the device and the accessories.
To avoid harmful effects to your health,
clean all parts thoroughly before you first
use them (see the "Cleaning" chapter).
■ Set up and operate the device in a place
which is protected from direct sunlight.
■ Never place the device on a soft surface.
The ventilation openings on the bottom
of the device must not be covered.
■ Unwind the connecting cable fully be-
fore connecting up the device.
■ Only connect the device to a plug socket
that is properly installed. The plug socket
must also be readily accessible after con-
nection so that the connection to the mains
can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage
must match the rating plate of the device.
■ Do not use any cable extension reels or
extension cables that are longer than 3 m.
■ Make sure that the connecting cable
does not present a trip hazard.
■ Make sure that the connecting cable is
not squashed, bent or laid over sharp
