4 Cautionary Notes
sing 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 avoid 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.
You should also follow these other rules when using the
BeerTender system:

ENGLISH
1. Do not attempt to chill a BeerTender Keg in your
freezer. Just like glass bottles, a keg may burst
when placed in the freezer. Moreover, freezing
diminishes the quality of the beer.
2. Your BeerTender uses a technology that delivers
ultimate cooling results when the ambient
temperature is between 12°C and 30°C. At colder
temperature, the appliance cooling system could be
damaged. At warmer temperature, the cooling
system will not be able to reach the temperature
you program.
Warning! To avoid overheating, always keep the
BeerTender keg out of direct sunlight. To obtain
good cooling performance, never install your
machine in a room with an ambient temperature
above 30°C.
3. Always hold the appliance by the bottom edge when
lifting it.
Warning! Do not use the handle or power cord to lift the
BeerTender.
sing 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. A
bag of tubes is delivered with the BeerTender appliance.
To receive, free of charge, additional beer tubes please
contact our customer service.
