2INSTALLING WITH KEGGED PRODUCT
Connect gas line to 3/8" O.D. inlet and secure with appropriate clamp. Gas should be
regulated to provide the appropriate gas injection. In general, sputtering and popping equals
too much gas pressure and no infusion equals too low gas pressure.
Recommended starting pressures
• Apply 30 PSI nitrogen to the keg
• Apply 17 PSI of nitrogen to the MiniNIM™ gas inlet
• Regulator can be mounted remotely, it is important the gas pressure is constant
Connect the liquid line to the 3/8" O.D. liquid inlet barb using the appropriate clamp.
NOTE: Solids in the liquid must be avoided, It is recommended to use a liquid line lter inline
prior to the MiniNIM™ this will result in a non-functioning MiniNIM™.
Connect the dispensing line to the 3/8" O.D. liquid outlet barb using the appropriate clamp
Connect gas line to 3/8" O.D. inlet and secure with appropriate clamp. Gas should be regulated
to provide the appropriate gas injection. In general, sputtering and popping equals too much
gas pressure and no infusion equals too low gas pressure.
Recommended starting pressures:
• Adjust pressure to the pump to achieve desired ow rate of product. 30 PSI is recommended
starting point.
• Apply 17 PSI of nitrogen to the MiniNIM™ gas inlet. Increasing or decreasing pressure may
be required depending on ow rate of product.
Connect the liquid line to the 3/8" O.D. liquid inlet barb using the appropriate clamp
NOTE: Solids in the liquid must be avoided. It is recommended to use a liquid line lter inline
prior to the mininim this will result in a non-functioning MiniNIM™.
Connect the dispensing line to the 3/8" O.D. liquid outlet barb using the appropriate clamp

MININIML161 INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

1. Adjust the liquid pressure to pour 1 to 1.5 oz/sec. at the faucet. Testing has shown this to be
a good ow rate. This may require adjustments to the applied pressure.
2. At this ow rate, the pressure will typically be around 30 PSI. This will depend on system
design and resistance of the system.
3. Pressures above 40 PSI are not recommended as this may cause nitrogenation in the bever-
age canister if left for a period of days.
4. Gas pressure will be from 10 to 20 lbs. depending on the liquid pressure setting.
NOTE: The perfect pour is subjective. As a general rule, there should be little or almost no
bubbles or head while the glass is lling. The liquid should appear light in color but have no
large bubbles unless a tall head is preferred. The best “creamy” head is produced when the
tiny cascade bubbles rise to the surface.

5TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION
MININIM™ REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENT HAS NO
EFFECT ON PRODUCT
Incorrect supply pressure Set gas supply pressure to 30 PSI. Replace
empty or low-pressure gas supply bottle.
Regulator is defective Replace the regulator
Kinked, blocked or damaged hose
Check gas supply line ow. If ow is low/not
present, check ttings and hoses and replace
or re-route as required.
PRODUCT HAS TOO LITTLE OR
NO HEAD
MiniNIM™ regulator is set too low Increase pressure on the regulator supplying
gas to the MiniNIM™
No gas supplied to MiniNIM™ Replace gas bottle, repair gas supply system
PRODUCT HAS TOO MUCH
HEAD AND/OR ALL FOAM AND/
OR SPUTTERING AT FAUCET
MiniNIM™ regulator is set
too high
Decrease pressure on the regulator sullying gas
to the MiniNIM™.
PRODUCT DOES NOT FLOW
FROM THE FAUCET
Kinked, blocked or damaged hose
Check the liquid in and liquid out hoses for
kinks or at spots. Re-route or replace hoses
as required.
Blockage in the MiniNIM™ bore
dueto set-up debris or solids in
the product liquid
Blow compressed gas into the product outlet to
clear debris. Routine cleanings may be required.
PRODUCT FLOWS TOO SLOWLY
FROM THE FAUCET
(LESS THAN 1 OZ. PER SECOND)
Liquid pressure is too low
Increase liquid pressure 30-35 PSI. This liquid
pressure is required. Pressure above 35 PSI
may cause canister infusion if pressurized for
a period exceeding 24 hours. This will vary
depending on the properties of the liquid and
should be tested on specic products.
Liquid product line or tting is
kinked, blocked or damaged Repair, replace, re-route or clear hose or tting
Faucet is not completely open,
defective, or blocked
Fully open or replace/repair/clean the faucet.
There are small holes in the internal disc of the
stout faucet nozzle that may require periodic
cleaning.
|8 INLINE MININIM™ USER MANUAL AND INSTALLATION GUIDE

Equipment Required
• Micro Matic Coffee Line Cleaner (MM-C128)
• Pressurized cleaning vessel
• Two (2) buckets
• Eye protection & rubber gloves
Cleaning Method – Every Two Weeks
1. Disconnect keg coupler or ball lock tting from product keg.
2. Fill cleaning vessel with warm (80°-95° F) tap water (2 gal. min.).
3. Place an empty bucket under the faucet.
4. Engage the coupler on the water lled cleaning vessel. Open the faucet until the line has been thoroughly cleared of product
and clear water ows out of the faucet. Run entire two gallons of water through dispensing system.
5. Close the faucet.
6. Vent pressure from cleaning vessel by pulling safety vent pull ring.
7. Open pressurized vessel, empty any water remaining in vessel, add applicable amount of Micro Matic Coffee Line Cleaner as
required below, DO NOT DILUTE!
Direct Draw Applications
MiniNIM™ requires 10 ozs
Remote Applications
If the MiniNIM™ is served by a keg in a remote cooler, multiply length of run x 1 oz per foot to determine amount
of chemical needed.
8. Place an empty bucket under the faucet.
9. Re-connect keg coupler and pressurize container. Open the faucet until the line has been lled with chemical. Chemical is
light blue in color and will pour from faucet.
10. Close the faucet and allow the chemical to soak for 15 minutes.
11. Disconnect keg coupler, vent pressurized vessel. Open vessel and rinse out any remaining chemicals. Rell with fresh water.
12. Re-connect keg coupler and pressurize container. Open faucet and ush until chemical is completely ushed from line.
13. Rinse and attach coupler to product keg. Allow 12 ozs of coffee product to be ushed through the line, discard.
14. Rinse all cleaning equipment and ttings thoroughly before storing.
Daily Maintenance
• Remove stout faucet nozzles and soak in Micro Matic Coffee Line Cleaner or
carbonated water.
• Remove and rinse inlet dissolved solids lter.
