4 - Before use
Child Safety Lock
* Make sure that children can not play with the
appliance.
* Do not leave the materials used to pack the appliance
within childrenʼs reach.
* To prevent children from using the appliance, you can
remove the tap handle. To remove the handle, make
sure that it is in an upright position and pull upward.
Fire prevention
In the event of a fire, use carbon dioxide (CO2)
extinguishers.
Do not use water or powder extinguishers.
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
(2 ½ inches) from the walls.
TM
54°F
* Store the DraughtKeg at room temperature or in the
refrigerator.
86°F
* Make sure the BeerTender is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
* Do not use the BeerTender outdoors.
* Do not place the BeerTender on very hot surfaces or
near open flames, as these may melt or damage the
casing.
* 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
TM
each DraughtKeg
An initial package of draught beer tube is included
with your machine. Additional draught beer tubes
can be ordered from Heineken. Go to
Chilling the DraughtKeg
1. Before pouring a draught beer, it is very important that
the Heineken and Heineken Premium Light
DraughtKeg reach the correct temperature.
2. Ensure DraughtKeg is sufficiently chilled before
pouring a draught beer. 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
DraughtKeg available.
Preparing the BeerTender
IMPORTANT: 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 lft 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.
WARNING! The drip tray must be positioned on a level
surface and must not jut out from the surface it is resting
on.

panel. This resets the 30 day calendar and will

* Adjust to the desired temperature by pressing the
thermometer button on the righthand side of the
display panel.
* The top temperature readout reflects the
42°F
39°F
36°F
temperature inside the Draughtkeg.
* The bottom temperature next to the thermometer
image reflects your desired temperature.
* Wait for your ideal temperature to be reached
before pouring a beer.
* Volume indicator – the barrel on the lefthand side of
the display screen reflects the volume left in your
DraughtKeg™.
* There are 4 volume levels – when down to the
bottom level, the panel will flash indicating your
DraughtKeg is almost empty.
* Never immerse the appliance in water.
Pouring a beer from the BeerTender
* Before pouring a beer, rinse 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 main power 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.
IMPORTANT: 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
TM
period of time, remove the DraughtKeg and turn the
main switch 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.
