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 ( ) 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. f the cover springs forwards once again, this indicates
that the beer tube or the valve is not positioned correctly (Figure 22+23).
■
■
■
■
■
NOTE
t is essential to ensure that the in line dispensing valve is securely
positioned. f 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.

4.4 Optimum dispensing
To ensure optimum dispensing, perform the following steps:
When dispensing, avoid the spout will touching the beer or foam in order to
prevent residues affecting the quality of the head.
Fully open the tap in one continuous movement, otherwise too much foam will
form in the glass.
Dispense the beer and close the tap when glass is full.
CHEERS!
The volume gauge is set to full when a new keg is installed and indicates the amount of
beer remaining. The flow time is measured via a microswitch and the corresponding
amount is deducted from the full volume.

4.6 Handling partially empty kegs
Partially empty kegs must not be unlocked and must remain in the appliance – which
must itself remain switched on – to ensure that the correct pressure and cooling is
maintained. Once a keg has been opened, the correct internal pressure and cooling
must be maintained in order to prevent an escape of carbon dioxide that would impair
the taste of the beer and increase the formation of foam when dispensing.
4.7 Removal partially empty kegs
When removing the partly empty keg, perform the following working steps:
Disconnect the keg from the appliance by turning the switch (C) upwards to
set the keg locking to “Unlock“ ( ). The indicator light (D) flashes red for around
10 seconds and the locking mechanism audibly move backwards (Figure 41).
Follow the instructions described in chapter 4.5 Removing or replacing the
empty keg.
4.8 Switching off the appliance
When no keg is installed and the switch (C) is locked ( ) the indicator light (D) flashes red
(Figure 42).
Turn the switch (C) upwards to set the keg locking to “Unlock“ ( ) (Figure 43).
Switch off the empty appliance without a keg using the ON/OFF switch (B) on
the right of the appliance (Figure 44).
NOTE
Avoid the unlocking of a keg which is still partly full unless you want to
change it.

NOTE
Be careful when you remove the inline dispensing valve (M) from the holder
of the dispense tap (F). The partially empty keg has a slight overpressure.
An open dispensing valve will lead to an uncontrolled discharge of beer.
Please handle it with care!
