INTRODUCTION
This is a household beer cooler, equipped with a CO2 cartridge
pressure system to keep the beer fresh. It brings the beer to the best
temperature for cold storage (0 to 4°C) within 19-21 hours.
The beer cooler will keep the 5L Keg cool for an almost indefinite
period. We do, however, suggest that you initially cool your beer keg
for at least 12 hours in your refrigerator before placing it into the beer
cooler.

49℃/120F. Failure to do so can result in explosion or death.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the beer
cooler.
This device is not intended for use by persons with reduced
capacity on the physical, mental or sensory or lack of experience

HOW TO SELECT A KEG
Sealed 5L universal keg and Heineken keg applies only
Pay close attention to safety and storage messages about the
keg / on the keg.
Check the keg is neither damaged nor beer out-of-date before
purchasing.
Protect the top surface from being

Never shake the keg before use
Never put the beer keg under the sunlight
BEER KEG SEALANT
All 5 Liter beer keg with the below various appearance sealants can
apply to the beer cooler, however, you should follow the information
as below
*The sealants with code No. 20 and 21 can be pierced simply by the
cooler piercing pin.

*The sealants with code No. 22 need to be removed off the marking
ring from the sealant and pierce the keg by cooler piercing pin.
(Show as figure 1)
*The difference between code No 23 and 24 is the safety clasp
quantity. Pull up the safety clasp carefully, turn around and take it out
from the keg; replaced it by the sealant (like code No 2 sealant)
provided in the beer cooler, attach it to the beer keg, and pierce it by
cooler piercing pin. (Show as Figure 3).
Figure 1
(Important: Before replacing the sealants or piercing the cooler kit,
you must always follow the instructions marked on the keg to
eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the keg has rested long
enough to avoid foam coming out through the cooler piercing pin /tap
faucet. And it is no need to release the gas and replace the seal
rubber if you use Heineken keg, because Heineken keg has its own
CO2 pressure inside, and no need to be provided from outer CO2
pressure system.

3. Open the beer cooler with 60-80N strength and place the
well-assembled keg into the cooling cavity; Connect the CO2
connector tube and beer outlet tube with the keg lifter tube
connector.
NOTES: make sure all connection of tap mechanism is well
connected, and without damage. And make sure tap valve is on
close status, and the CO2 pressure regulator knob is at “Off” status.
Figure 13 Figure 14
4. Loosen the CO2 bottle sheath (Show as figure 15), insert a
16gram CO2 cartridge in the sheath (Figure 16), and screw the
sheath tightly until you will hear a “Click”(Figure 17), which indicates
that the cartridge seal has been pierced and the CO2 gas can flow
into the keg freely. Make us the bottle sheath is fixed tightly to avoid
the CO2 leakage. Then put CO2 bottle sheath into the top cover.

7. It will take 19-21 hours to cool the beer to 2-4℃at 22-24℃
ambient temperature. And it can keep the temperature as set and
displayed on the LED. We do, however, suggest that you initially
cool your beer keg for at least 12 hours in your refrigerator before
placing it into the beer cooler, especially when the ambient
temperature is higher than 25℃.
8. You can set the temperature to fit your taste, by pressing the
buttons on the front plate. The temperature can be set from 36℉to
54℉(2℃to 12℃), using the temperature adjusting button (+ and -)
located aside the temperature display.
The PCB has the memory function, when you power on the cooler, it
memories the set temperate of last time.
The LED will default display the real temperature of beer. You can
see the set temperature by pressing “+” button 1 second, it will
display the set temperature, and 3 seconds later, it will recover and
display the real temperature.
Preset Temperature
The beer cooler has 6 preset temperatures.
Press and hold “-” button, it enter the 6 preset temperatures, then
you can press “-” button to choose a certain preset temperature, 40
℉(4 ℃), 46℉(8℃), 48℉(9℃), 50℉(10℃), 52℉(11℃) and 54℉(12℃).
Press and hold “+” button, the unit can achieve conversion between

9. Adjust the CO2 pressure regulator knob to “+” position, to pour the
beer out by pulling down the tap mechanism about 45°, and you can
adjust the pressure regulator knob to control the beer flow rate and
beer bubble; (Figure 13)
Note: Clean the glass before pouring beer out; if the beer or beer
cup/glass is in high temperature or the beer is not cool enough, there
are many bubbles when pouring beer out;
10. When taping the beer, lean your beer glass against the pouring
spout and slowly straighten it up with the beer rising, then open the
tap mechanism completely to avoid much bubble; It is advisable to
pour half-glass, make a short pause before continuing the rest.
NOTES: Never immerse the pouring spout into the beer glass to
avoid much bubble; Remember to lock the tap after finishing pouring.
11. It is normal to have more bubbles when pouring the first 3 cup of
beer.
12. There will be a sharp and high-speed jet when pouring the last
cup of beer from keg.
Please adjust the CO2 pressure regulation knob to “-” position to
close the CO2 supplying and save the CO2.

C. Heineken Keg
Heineken kegs are pre-charged with CO2, and do not require the
use of regulator, no need to install the CO2 cartridge. And the knob
on the top cover does not work.
Figure 21
1. The Heineken connector that comes with your beer cooler can
work with all Heineken 5 liter kegs. However you must use a flat
head screwdriver to remove the green base from the keg in order to
install the new connector, provided with the beer cooler.
2. When install the new connector to the Heineken keg, you must
firstly install the clear beer tube one end to the connector, one end to
the tap mechanism, then install the connector to the Heineken keg.

3. Close the top cover; operate it as above step 6-12, as the
universal 5 liter keg, but step 9 is exception.
D. TO CHAGE A NEW BEER KEG (5 liter universal keg)
When the beer in the keg runs out, before changing a new beer keg.
1. Adjust the CO2 pressure regulation knob to “-“ switch to shut off
the CO2 supplying and save the CO2.
2. Open the top cover of the beer cooler, pull down the tap handle to
release the rest gas in the keg (maybe with some beer bubble).
3. Then put the piercing pin into the new keg and put into the beer

week. (No need to replace the water for each beer keg, one week
one time recommended)
Figure 28(Sketch map of drain construction)
1. Open the drain switch to drain out the water from the cavity into
the drip tray. Make sure the drip tray is fit into the notch to avoid
water flow to the desk; the drip tray can load 450ml water;
2. After all water drain out, close the drain switch and put 800ml fresh
water into the cavity.
3. Open the drain switch (drag the switch forward to 90 degree
angle), and drain out the water inside the cavity to drip tray, and
need twice to drain out the water..
Warning: 1）Clean water is necessary;
2) Make sure the drip tray is fit into the notch to avoid
water flow to the desk;
3) The drip tray can load 400-500ml water;
