CAUTIONARY NOTES
USING THE BEERTENDER
®
SYSTEM
To obtain draft beer of optimal quality you should keep two basic factors in mind, the
temperature of the beer and hygienic conditions.
1. Pre-chill the beer keg to prevent excess foam. Always use a chilled keg. If you fail to chill
the keg sufficiently too much foam will be produced when you start to pour your beer.
2. Always clean the appliance after use. Beer is a natural product that can spoil. Therefore,
you should always keep the appliance clean to maintain the quality of the beer dispensed
and prevent unpleasant odours (see “Cleaning”). The dispensing spout should be
cleaned before a new keg is installed and the drip tray and grate should be emptied
after every use - fig. 3.
You should also follow these other rules when using the Beertender
®
system:
1. Do not cool the Beertender
®
keg in the freezer; the Beertender
®
keg may explode.
Moreover, freezing diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29.
2. Use your Beertender
®
in a place where the temperature is between 12°C and 30°C.
At colder temperatures the appliance cooling system could be damaged, whereas at
warmer temperatures the system will not be able to reach the ideal beer dispensing
temperature. Store the beer keg at room temperature - fig. 4.
WARNING! To avoid overheating, keep the Beertender
®
Keg out of direct sunlight -
fig. 30.
3. Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when lifting it - fig. 5.
WARNING! Do not use the handle or power cord to lift the Beertender
®
- fig. 31.
USING THE KEG
Make sure that you chill the keg before using it. If you fail to chill the keg sufficiently too much
foam will be produced when you start to pour beer.
Please also be aware that the first glass that you pour from every new keg will contain mostly
foam. Draught beer in a bar behaves in exactly the same way!
The Beertender
®
Keg “Compatible Beertender
®
” features a patented system for storing and
dispensing beer. It guarantees beer of higher, long-lasting quality and a Beertender
®
system
that is very easy and pleasant to use.
IMPORTANT: before installing a keg inside the appliance, check the “best before end” date
shown at the bottom of the keg. This date is a reliable indication if the keg has been stored at
room temperature.
The use of kegs “Compatible Beertender
®
” in the Beertender
®
system
necessitate the use of beer tubes - fig. 7. A bag of tubes is delivered with the Beertender
®
appliance. To receive additional tubes, contact our after-sales service or the La Bière Pression
website. (See details at the end of this manual)
WARNING: contents under pressure. Do not shake or drop. Do not expose to
sunlight or temperatures above 30°C. Even when the keg is empty, do not force it
open and do not expose to flame or fire.

GETTING THE BEERTENDER
®
READY
FOR YOUR OWN AND OTHERS’ SAFETY, PLEASE KEEP METICULOUSLY TO
THE “SAFETY RULES”.
COOLING THE BEERTENDER
®
KEG
Beertender
®
kegs must be chilled before use.
Using a Beertender
®
keg that is too warm will result in too much foam.
There are two ways to chill the Beertender
®
Keg:
1. inside the Beertender
®
(see “Using the Beertender
®
”). It will take about 15 hours to cool
the keg down to 4°C if the Beertender
®
Keg and the appliance are stabilized at a room
temperature of 20°C.
2. in a refrigerator. This will take about 12 hours depending on the cooling capacity of your
refrigerator.
Tip: we recommend that you always keep an extra Beertender
®
Keg in the refrigerator. That
way you will always have a chilled keg available.
We also recommend that you switch the appliance on at least one hour before intended use to
get full benefit from the pre-cooling of the keg.
WARNING! Do not attempt to chill the keg in a freezer. The kegs are at risk of exploding if
they are frozen. Moreover, freezing diminishes the quality of the beer - fig. 29.
INSTALLING THE BEERTENDER
®
APPLIANCE
The original packing is designed and made to protect the appliance. It is recommended that
you keep it for future transport.
Remove the Beertender
®
appliance from the packaging and place it on a dry, clean, level,
stable surface that is sufficiently large to accommodate it.
Remove all packaging, stickers or various accessories both inside and outside the product.
The temperature of the room must be between 12°C and 30°C. At temperatures above 30°C,
the system will not be able to sufficiently cool the beer. - fig. 4.
Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the appliance. Make sure the drip tray is
properly fitted and positioned.
Do not install the appliance near sources of heat or in places exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: keep in mind that during use the drip tray will have to be emptied and rinsed regularly.
When the Beertender
®
system is not in use, you can remove the drip tray and place it
elsewhere to save space.
Note: The drip tray must be positioned on a level surface and must not jut out from the surface
it is resting on.
After installing the Beertender
®
appliance you must clean the dispensing spout; this is the
only part of the appliance that will come into contact with the beer - fig. 8.
It is essential that you wash the dispensing spout before using the appliance for the first time
and at least every time a new keg is connected inside the Beertender
®
system. The nozzle is
dishwasher-safe - fig. 9.
To clean the spout, remove it from its housing by turning it clockwise. After washing the spout,
screw it back into place - fig. 8.

English
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Electricity can be dangerous! Therefore you must always scrupulously abide by the safety
rules.
The appliance must be plugged into a suitable, properly installed electric socket.
The voltage of the appliance has been set in the factory. Check that the mains voltage
matches the voltage indicated on the rating plate on the rear of the appliance.
Make sure the main switch on the rear of the machine is set to “0” before connecting the
Beertender
®
to the mains. Insert the plug into a socket with the correct voltage and turn on
the appliance by moving the main switch to “I” - fig. 10.
The appliance will immediately start cooling the inner chamber as soon as the main switch is
set to “I”.
USING THE BEERTENDER
®
SYSTEM
INSERTING A BEERTENDER
®
KEG
Note: the Beertender
®
may only be used with Beertender
®
Kegs “Compatible Beertender
®
”
containing beer sold by the Heineken group.
The appliance can only be used if it contains a Beertender
®
Keg and only if the main switch
is set to “I”.
The LED on the left side of the control panel, when illuminated, tells you that the appliance
is switched on.
You can open the appliance by pressing the handle on top of the lid. When the handle is
released, you can lift the lid up - fig. 11-12.
Note: do not force the lid beyond the set opening position as this could damage it.
When the lid is completely open, insert a Beertender
®
Keg as shown in the figure - fig. 13.
Remove the upper part of the dispensing head (6) by lifting it upwards as indicated in the
illustration - fig. 14.
Note: this cover can be removed for cleaning.
Install the Beertender
®
keg tap.
Note: Do not try to actuate the tap of the Beertender
®
Keg by hand.
Position the beer tube as shown on drawing - fig. 15.
Return the upper part of the dispensing head in its initial position.
Note: The upper part of the dispensing head cannot be repositioned (fig. 16) if the Beertender
®
keg tap has not been properly set up.
Ensure that the upper part of the dispensing head is positioned in the beer pump mechanism
before closing the lid.
Ensure that the positioning of the upper part of the dispensing head conforms to the one in
the illustration so as not to damage the beer pipe - fig. 16.
Gently close the appliance lid again until it lock - fig. 17.

10
English
CONTROL PANEL
Two LEDs on the top of the lid provide important indications:
Green ON LED on the left of the panel: when lit, it indicates that the appliance is operating
- fig. 18.
Green beer-temperature LED on the right side of the panel: when the Beertender
®
Keg has
reached the ideal temperature the LED switches on and the appliance goes into “stand-by”
cooling mode - fig. 19.
SOUND EMITTED BY THE BEERTENDER
®
APPLIANCE
The cooling function of the Beertender
®
produces sound.
The Beertender
®
features a cooling system which controls the temperature of the Beertender
®
Keg. There are two cooling modes:
1. stand-by cooling corresponds to the main operating conditions. In this mode the cooling
fan produces a barely audible noise;
2. active cooling is triggered when temperature inside the cooling chamber is too high.
Once the beer keg reaches the target temperature, the beer pump shifts into standby
cooling mode.
DISPENSING BEER
Note: always check the “best before end” date shown on the bottom of the Beertender
®
Keg.
Do not use the Beertender
®
Keg beyond this date.
Note: the beer must be dispensed into suitable containers; the dispensing function is started
and stopped manually by the user.
Step 1 – Preparing a glass
To pour a perfect glass of beer, it is essential to use a clean, fresh glass. Rinse the glass in cold
water before dispensing beer (the colder the glass the better) - fig. 20.
Tip: we recommend that you use your beer glasses for drinking beer alone. Some beverages,
like milk, leave a small residue in the glass which will reduce the head on your beer.
Step 2 – Dispensing beer
Tip: Look at the control panel to check that the beer has reached the right drinking temperature.
Position a glass beneath the tap, holding it at an angle of 45 degrees (see picture) - fig. 21.
Firmly and quickly pull the handle down as far as it will go. Let the beer run into the glass.
Avoid contact between the dispensing spout, the glass and the beer already in the glass. This
could cause excessive foaming.
Note: every time you install a new keg in the Beertender
®
, the first glass of beer will fill up with
too much foam. When this occurs, allow the glass to stand on the drip tray. As soon as the
foam has settled, continue filling the glass.
Note: too much foam will also be generated if the tap handle is opened just slightly or slowly;
several beers can be dispensed in sequence when the tap handle is open. The beer will flow
out more slowly after the first glass has been filled.

11
English
Step 3 – Beer in the glass
Place the glass of beer on the drip tray and wait for the foam to settle
- fig. 22.
Step 4 – The quality of a glass of beer
An excellent draft beer has the following characteristics:
1. a head of about 3 cms;
2. a head evenly distributed around the wall of the glass that adheres to the surface of
the beer;
3. The beer must be clear with bubbles.
4. a temperature of 4°C to 6°C (in the glass).
Note: to prevent excessive foam from forming, always use a pre-chilled Beertender
®
Keg and
a clean glass rinsed in cold water.
CLEANING
In addition to routine cleaning, the Beertender
®
should be cleaned after daily use and when
you install a new Beertender
®
Keg.
Keep the ventilator grill located behind the machine clean and dust it regularly using a vacuum
cleaner.
CLEANING AFTER DAILY USE
The drip tray and grate should be cleaned after every use. Remove the grate before emptying
out the drip tray. The grate must be set back in place during normal use of the Beertender
®
- fig. 23.
Note: You can wash the drip tray with warm water and a mild detergent.
Note: Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol.
CLEANING AFTER INSTALLATION
OF A NEW BEERTENDER
®
KEG
When you install a new Beertender
®
Keg you must clean the dispensing spout. The spout is
the only part of the appliance that comes into contact with the beer - fig. 24.
It is essential to wash the tap nozzle using hot water.
Note: the dispensing spout comprises plastic and metal parts that are permanently joined
together and do not pose any problems of hygiene. Do not attempt to separate these parts.
The beer dispensing mechanism must be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild detergent
- fig. 25.
Note: the upper part of the dispensing head may be washed with water if it is then properly
dried - fig. 26.
Note: Do not try to clean the mechanism using hard and/or sharp objects, since doing so
would risk damaging the machine.

12
English
ROUTINE CLEANING
Clean the appliance cooling chamber on a regular basis using a damp cloth and mild
detergent - fig. 27.
Note: Do not fill the cooling chamber with water as this may result in permanent damage.
Never use aggressive agents such as vinegar, acids, solvents or petrol.
The upper part of the cooling head must be removed. Wash the cooling head with hot water
and a gentle detergent.
Note: Do not wash the upper part of the dispensing head in a dishwasher, as doing so could
damage it and eliminate its shine.
