GENERAL INFORMATION
REPAIRS / MAINTENANCE
In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from a fall, immediately remove the plug from the
power socket and alert the service provider or specialized technician. Never attempt to operate it if it is faulty.
Please report any fault to your service provider. Only the service provider and/or technician may carry out
servicing operations and repairs on DRNX SLM, unless otherwise informed. Any repair of the dispenser must
be done only when it is switched o and it is ascertained that there is no electric current. All spare parts must be
obtained from your service provider. Follow the service and maintenance instructions in this operation manual.
USE
DRNX SLM pulls any filtered liquid from an unpressurized container. It chills the liquid to 2°C and infuses it with
atmospheric nitrogen.
VISCOSITY OF LIQUID
Ensure that your beverage has been filtered in order not to clog the pre-filter or if that has been bypassed, not
to clog the machine. Thick liquids risk slowing down the liquid pump inside. DRNX SLM comes with a pre-filter
that is already fitted onto the beverage tube. If the pre-filter is not attached, you can risk damaging components
inside.
BEVERAGE CONTAINER
Any non-pressurized container can be used depending on what is required. We recommend using the designated
BROOD container (sold separately).

1. Switch on the main ON/OFF button at the bottom of the machine.
2. Place your cup beneath the stout at an angle for the best pour.
3. Priming: When connecting to a beverage container for the first time, it is
important to keep pouring until the beverage from the spout is flowing
normally. Expect a small spurt of air that might come from the spout during
this process. Keep the glass raised high and close to the spout to contain it.
4. To pour a NITRO beverage, press “INFUSION”.
To pour a STILL beverage, de-press “INFUSION”.
Please note, if the last pour was nitro cold brew and the operator wants the
next pour to be still cold brew, there will be less than 5 mL (0.34 oz) of
nitro cold brew in the tap that will come out. Every subsequent still cold brew
pour will come out fully still, until the next nitro cold brew pour.
5. Press the black capped button, or pull the tap handle down to start pouring,
and release it when the pour has been completed.

Pouring Issue
Any issue related to a bad pour is due
to a restriction in the tubes. This can
be isolated to either the beverage
tube going into the machine, or
inside the machine itself.
1. Can the pump be heard
running, but nothing, or very
little comes out of the spout?
If YES, there is a restriction in the beverage line going into the machine.
A) If using a keg, ensure it’s not pressurized.
B) Check for kinks in the beverage tube where it connects beneath the
machine. Ideally, have the beverage tube come from behind the machine
around the back leg.
C) Inspect the pre-filter for blockage by unscrewing it and cleaning the
stainless-steel mesh inside. Alternatively, bypass the pre-filter by
disconnecting the tube from the pre-filter and placing it in a container of
water. If the machine pours normally, the pre-filter is likely the issue.
D) Ensure the pre-filter isn’t reversed; it is directional, with a small arrow
indicating the flow.
E) Check that the white elbow connecting to the machine is fully inserted and
clipped in place.
F) Check that the white elbow connecting to the container is fully inserted and
clipped in place.
2. Does the pump shut o the
moment the pour button
is pressed?
If YES, there’s a blockage after the pump. To troubleshoot:
A) Turn o the machine for 4 hours to defrost any ice in the line (if present).
B) Unscrew the spout tip to check for blockage. Try pouring with the spout o.
C) Pour a cleaning solution through the machine and let it soak overnight to
lubricate and dislodge any buildup in the Module.
D) If the issue persists, reverse flush the Nitro Infusion Module. Please follow
this link for instructions on how to reverse flush the Nitrogen Infusion Module.
3. Is the flow on the NITRO
setting normal, but
lacking foam?
If YES, the Nitrogen Infusion Module requires cleaning. To troubleshoot:
A) Pour a cleaning solution through the machine and let it soak overnight to
lubricate and dislodge any buildup in the Module.
B) Unscrew the spout tip to check for blockage. Try pouring with the spout o.
4. Is the beverage spraying out of
the spout?
If the beverage sprays from the spout, it indicates a bloackage. To address this,
unscrew the cap and rinse it thoroughly.
5. Does liquid continuously drip out of
the spout?
If the liquid is dripping from the spout, it indicates that either the
Bag-in-Box (BiB) or container is empty, or the BiB/Container is positioned
above the machine.
Too many large bubbles Beverage tube is not pushed
in firmly.
Release the elbow fitting by pushing the spring underneath DRNX and
reconnect. If using a keg or a Bag-in-Box make sure that the coupler is
secured firmly.
Product is not cold enough. The temperature setting is
too high.
Check to see if the main switch underneath the machine is on. Follow the
instructions in the manual to change the temperature setting.
The cold brew in the container is too hot. The variance between the cold brew in your container and at the tap is 20°C.
This means if your cold brew is 22°C (room temperature), then the nitro cold
brew at the tap will be 2°C.
Pause for a moment betweenpours. If pouring more than 1.5 litres (48oz.) continuously and without stopping, then
it might be necessary to pause for a few minutes for the exhaust fan to turn o
until pouring a subsequent drink.

FAQ
Q. I JUST RECEIVED MY DRNX SLM, HOW DO I SET IT UP?
A. Please follow the instruction manual that comes with DRNX SLM. It is easy to set up!
Q. WHERE DO I PUT MY COLD BREW COFFEE OR TEA?
A. DRNX SLM can pull cold brew from any container. DRNX SLM comes with a beverage tube that clips into the
dispenser from underneath. The other end is loose so that an operator can drop it into any container. Alternatively, an
operator can attach a keg coupler, bag-in-box adaptor, or an elbow fitting to the other end of the beverage tube in order to
connect it to a keg, bag in-box, or BROOD container respectively. Please watch our instructional video on our website.
Q. I AM GETTING LARGE BUBBLES IN MY NITRO COLD BREW, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A. Make sure all the tubes are pushed in firmly and there is no air seepage. Observe if there are any air bubbles flowing
through the beverage tube. Air that seeps into the tubes will ultimately come out at the tap in the form of air bubbles.
This will also happen if your beverage tube is sucking in air from a loose connection. The quality of the cold brew also has a
marked eect on the size of the bubbles in the final head of the drink. The more filtered the cold brew, the smoother the
surface of the head.
When pouring, make sure that cup is always at an angle and the stream from the spout hits the inner wall of the cup.
Q. MY BEVERAGE IS NOT COLD ENOUGH, HOW DO I MAKE IT COLDER?
A. Follow the instructions in section “Temperature Control” on page 6 to decrease the temperature.
Q. DRNX SLM IS NOT POURING COLD BREW, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A. There are several reasons why this may happen. All of them are easily remedied. Please follow our troubleshooting guide
in this instruction manual.
Q. WHEN I POUR MANY GLASSES OF NITRO COLD BREW CONTINUOUSLY, THE FOURTH ONE IS
SOMETIMES SLIGHTLY LESS CHILLED THAN THE FIRST ONE. WHY IS THAT?
A. We recommend pouring for 45 seconds which is about 1 litre (32oz.) and then pausing for a few moments until the
exhaust fan switches o. This means the cold brew inside the fridge has been chilled to your desired temperature.
Q. DRNX SLM HAS A SOUND THAT COMES AND GOES, WHY?
A. This is the sound of the exhaust fan. When this sound is heard it means that the fridge is cooling down to the pre-set
temperature. When the sound stops this means that the compressor has also stopped as the desired temperature has
been reached.
Q. I HAVE THE FRIDGE SET AT THE COLDEST POSSIBLE TEMPERATURE, BUT THE BEVERAGE IS NOT
COLD ENOUGH, WHY IS THIS?
A. The variance between the cold brew in your container and at the tap is 22°C. This means if your cold brew is 24°C (room
temperature) then the nitro cold brew at the tap will be 2°C. Never use cold brew or any other liquid that is warmer than
room temperature.
Q. DO I NEED TO KEEP A GAP AROUND THE VENTS ON THE TOP OF DRNX SLM?
A. Yes, never cover the exhaust located on top of the machine. If covered, it may damage the compressor.
