The appliance
◗If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons

◗Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the
appliance.
◗Do not use the appliance when the mains cord, the plug or the
appliance itself is damaged.
C◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.The handle can be
removed for extra safety.

25cC, the beer temperature will drop to 3cC again.At higher
ambient temperatures chilling the keg will also take longer.
C◗Do not expose the appliance and the keg to direct sunlight or to
temperatures higher than 30cC.
◗Always clean the appliance before you store it for a longer period.
◗Do not lift the appliance by means of the tap handle.
◗Do not cover the appliance (e.g. with a towel) to prevent it from
overheating.
The keg
◗Always read and follow the instructions and safety warnings on
the keg before installing it in the appliance.
◗Do not shake the keg.
◗Store an open keg at the right temperature by leaving it in the
appliance. Make sure the appliance is switched on. If you switch
the appliance off because you are not going to use it for a longer
period (e.g. a holiday), always remove the open keg from the
