Setup and Maintenance
* Install the BeerTender® in an upright position in a safe
place.
* To ensure that the BeerTender works correctly and
efficiently, the following is strongly advised.
* Place it on a perfectly level and stable surface;
* Choose a clean, well-lit area with an easily accessible
electric socket.
* Keep the appliance at a minimum distance (4 inches)
from the stove as shown in the diagram.
* Keep the appliance at a minimum distance

refrigerator.
* Make sure the BeerTender is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
* Do not use the BeerTender outdoors.

* Your BeerTender uses a technology that delivers
ultimate cooling results when the ambient temperature
is between 54°F and 86°F. At colder temperatures, the
appliance cooling system could be damaged. At
warmer temperatures, the cooling system will not be
able to reach the temperature you program.
Warning! To avoid overheating, always keep the
BeerTender appliance out of direct sunlight. To obtain
good cooling performance, never install your machine in
a room with an ambient temperature above 86°F.

5 - Using the BeerTender®System
* Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when
lifting.
* To obtain draught beer of optimal quality you should
keep two basic factors in mind, the temperature of the
beer and hygienic conditions. Follow these few simple
steps for the ideal use of BeerTender.
A new draught beer tube should be used with
each DraughtKegTM
An initial package of draught beer tubes is included
with your machine. Additional draught beer tubes
can be purchased from Heineken. Go to
www.BeerTender.com for more information.
Chilling the DraughtKeg
1. Before pouring a draught beer, it is very important that
the Heineken and Heineken Premium ight
DraughtKeg reach the correct temperature.
2. Ensure DraughtKeg is sufficiently chilled before
pouring a draught beer. Insufficiently chilled
DraughtKegs will produce too much foam. It is ideal to
purchase the DraughtKeg pre-chilled or pre-chill over
night before intended use. If the DraughtKeg needs
additional chilling, there are 2 recommended options:
a. Inside the BeerTender – Depending on the
temperature of the DraughtKeg, it will take up
to 18 hours to chill to the ideal serving
temperature.
b. In a refrigerator – Depending on the
temperature of your refrigerator, it will take up to
12 hours to chill to the ideal serving temperature.
Tip: We recommend that you always keep an extra
DraughtKeg in your refrigerator to always have a chilled
keg available.
Preparing the BeerTender
IMPORTA T: It is important that the BeerTender power
switch is turned on before inserting the DraughtKeg. This
allows the scale to reset and accurately measure the
amount of beer left in the keg. If you remove a partially
full DraughtKeg from an operating machine or open the
lid while power is on, the scale will need to be reset.

Simply open the lid and lift up the keg for approximately
5-10 seconds before setting back into the machine and
closing the lid.
* After setting up the BeerTender and before use, it is
vital to clean the detachable pour spout – this is the
only part of the appliance that will come into contact
with the beer. The spout should be rinsed by hand.
After cleaning, screw back into place.
* Before inserting the DraughtKeg into the BeerTender,
simply snap the patented disposable draught beer
tube (included) onto the DraughtKeg.
* Open the BeerTender cover by pressing in the release
panel on the front of the machine.
* Open the tap spout cover by turning counter
clockwise.
* Insert DraughtKeg into BeerTender and position the
draught beer tube as shown on drawing.
* Close the tap by turning clockwise and snapping into
place.
* Carefully close the lid.
* Set the drip tray and grate in place at the front of the
appliance. Make sure the drip tray is properly fitted
and positioned.
WAR I G! The drip tray must be positioned on a level
surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting
on.
Control Panel
Your appliance features a large display providing you
with important and useful information.

On the left side of the display:
a. Volume indicator
The BeerTender DraughtKeg volume is indicated with 4
levels.
The 4 levels are visible when the DraughtKeg is full.
They disappear progressively while emptying the
DraughtKeg. The last level starts to blink when only two
glasses of beer (+ / - one) are left in the DraughtKeg.
On the right side of the display:
b. Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator goes from red, for a beer that
is too warm, to orange when cooling of the beer is
almost complete, to green when the perfect draught
beer temperature has been reached.
Warning: never use your BeerTender with ambient
temperature above 86°F. Above that level, the ideal
serving temperature can not be attained.
Pouring a beer from the BeerTender
* Before pouring a beer, rinse a clean glass in cold
water which chills the glass and wets the inside to
enable a perfectly smooth draught pour. Use of 8 oz
glasses is recommended to maintain the ideal serving
temperature.
Draught and Drink
* Be aware that the first glass you pour from every new
DraughtKeg will contain mostly foam. This is typical of
draught beer. Allow the foam to settle and continue to
pour.
* Tilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as
you pour and adjust upright as the glass fills.
* Ensure you pull the tap handle all the way down. Not
opening the handle all the way will result in excessive
foam.
* For the optimal draught beer drinking experience,
serve your beer with a foam head of 2 fingers in height
(approximately 1.5”).
Proper Care and Cleaning of your BeerTender
* The drip tray and grate should be emptied and
cleaned after each use.

* Before cleaning the appliance, it is essential to turn off
the ON/OFF switch and then pull the plug out of the
socket.
* Keep in mind that during use the drip tray will
have to be emptied and rinsed regularly.
The tray and grate are dishwasher safe or can be
washed by hand with a mild detergent. Dry completely.
* Always wipe down the interior of the BeerTender 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
avoid unpleasant odors.
* Rinse the pour spout between uses for optimal results.
Handwash with warm soapy water. Do not wash in
dishwasher.
* To remove, unscrew turning counterclockwise
from main unit. To re-attach, simply screw back
in place turning clockwise.
* You should never attempt to access internal parts of
the appliance.
IMPORTA T: After cleaning, ensure all parts of your
BeerTender®have completely dried before closing
the lid.
Storing the BeerTender®
* When the BeerTender is not being used for a long
period of time, remove the DraughtKegTM and turn the
control to “off”.
* Remove the plug from the power outlet.
* Store the BeerTender at room temperature in a dry
place out of childrenʼs reach.
* Protect from dust and dirt.
