1 – PREPARING THE SUB
INSTALLATION
THE SUB should be used indoors at a room temperature between 53.6°F and 89.6°F.
The original packaging has been designed to protect the appliance. We recommend that
you keep it for future transport.
Take THE SUB out of its packaging, along with the drip tray and the tap handle, and place
them on a at, dry surface that is clean and large enough (1-2).
Do not install THE SUB near hot surfaces or in places that are directly exposed to sunlight.
For both part of the drip tray (depending on model, there can be one or two parts) in front
of the SUB. On certain models, a magnet is in place to attach the drip tray to THE SUB.
Plug THE SUB into a suitable socket and press the ON/OFF button (3). Check that the red
temperature indicator lights up.
Tip: We recommend plugging THE SUB into the socket and turning it on at least one
hour before installing a TORP.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
Red: THE SUB is plugged in and powered on. The cooling process is in progress.
Green: the beer is at optimum temperature and ready to be served.
NOISE
THE SUB holds a cooling system that regulates the temperature of THE TORP. It is usual
for this technology to create some noise, particularly during the cooling phase.
THE SUB also holds a pump to keep THE TORP under pressure. While the machine is
on and THE TORP installed, the pump will be activated automatically from time to time,
generating some noise that will stop after a few seconds. This means that the pump is
repressurizing THE TORP.
2 – SERVING THE BEER
PREPARING THE TORP
IMPORTANT: before inserting a TORP into THE SUB, check the Use By Date indicated on
the side of THE TORP. Do not use THE TORP if it has passed this date.
To reduce the cooling time, we recommend storing THE TORP in the fridge for a few hours
before use. See the instructions on THE TORP.
Tip: we recommend always keeping a spare TORP in the fridge. This will enable you to
always have access to a spare chilled TORP.
Do not store THE TORP at a temperature of more than 89.6°F or at temperatures below
32°F, and do not expose it to direct sunlight. Do not shake it or drop it.

COOLING THE TORP
For an optimum temperature, only serve the beer when the temperature indicator has
changed to green.
If the TORP and SUB are at room temperature (71.6°F), cooling of the beer to a temperature of
35.6°F inside the SUB takes around 10 hours.
However, if THE TORP has been stored in the fridge overnight, this time frame can be
reduced signicantly (several hours).
The temperature of the beer in THE TORP has direct impact on the level of foam: the beer
should be served sufciently cold, when the temperature indicator is green.
IMPORTANT: never store a TORP in the freezer as this could cause leakage due to
freezing of the beer.
INSTALLING THE TORP IN THE SUB
Unscrew the cover of THE TORP (4). The tube is stored inside the cap of THE TORP (5).
Place the tube connector in the opening of THE TORP until you hear a click (6). THE TORP
is now ready to use. You can place it in THE SUB by following these steps:
- Open the door of THE SUB by turning the handle counterclockwise (follow the red
arrow on the machine) (7) .
- Open the door completely (8).
- Push THE TORP into THE SUB (9).
- Open the tap cover, slip the tube through the tap and insert the tube spout into the
tap (10 - 11).
- Close the door. Turn the handle clockwise until it is locked in place (12).
- Close the tap cover (12).
THE TORP is correctly installed, the temperature indicator is red marking the start of the
cooling phase. When it is green, the beer is ready to be served (13).
When you close the door, THE SUB checks the pressure inside THE TORP and activates
the pump each time the pressure is insufcient.
IMPORTANT: do not unload a TORP until it is completely empty. A TORP that has
been unloaded from THE SUB is depressurized. Therefore, the beer quality is no
longer guaranteed.
PREPARING THE GLASS
To pour the perfect beer, it is essential to use a clean cold glass. Rinse your glass with cold
water before serving the beer.
This will prevent the beer from warming up in the glass as well as the creation of too much foam.
We recommend you use the Heineken glasses available at www.the-sub.com.
SERVING THE BEER
- Incline your glass at an angle of 45° with respect to the tap.
- Pull the handle quickly forward as far as it will go. Then gradually straighten the glass
as it lls (14-15-16).
When serving from THE TORP, there is more foam in the rst glass than in the following
glasses. To limit the quantity of foam in the rst glass, we recommend pouring 3/4 of an inch
of foam, then clean this glass and restart pouring the beer.

EN
For the other glasses, hold the tap handle in forward position until the glass is lled.
IMPORTANT: If you pull the handle too slowly you will generate extra foam.
Please do not hesitate to go to www.the-sub.com to get more information on how to
serve the perfect beer.
3 - CLEANING
CLEANING AFTER DAILY USE
Depending on the model, the drip tray can be composed of two parts.
!Note: the drip tray (I) can be washed in hot water with a mild detergent (17). It can also
go in the dishwasher. The stainless steel drip tray (J) (according to models) cannot be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
!Warning! Never use harsh detergents, such as vinegar, acids or solvents.
CLEANING DURING INSTALLATION OF A NEW TORP
Clean away all traces of beer that have built up on the tap.
The tap mechanism should be cleaned with a damp cloth and some mild detergent (18).
!Warning! Do not attempt to clean the mechanism with hard and/or sharp objects.
Clean the cooling chamber of THE SUB using a soft dry cloth (19).
