TAPPING THE BEER KEG

(SINGLE VALVE-TYPE KEG)

Follow these steps below to tap the beer keg.

Make sure the black pull handle of the coupler is in the closed (up)

position before installing it on the keg (Fig. 1). Insert the coupler
into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise until it locks

into position (Fig. 2). This means that it is secured to the keg.

Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed (handle pointing straight back)

position before connecting the coupler to the keg (Fig. 3). To secure
the tank connection, pull the coupler handle out and push down
until it locks into position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle
when it shifts into the final downward position (Fig. 4). This will
open the beer and CO2 gas valves. The keg is now tapped.
Carefully tilt the keg and rest the edge on the keg base board on the

bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg slowly, ensuring
that it is properly located (Fig. 5) and carefully close the door.

HOW TO OPERATE

Follow the steps below to dispense beer.

Make sure that the KEGORATOR

™ is plugged in properly

to a 120V, 60Hz, 15 Amps grounded AC outlet.

Place the drip tray under the beer faucet to avoid messes from excess beer.

Open the beer faucet by pulling the tap towards you to dispense

the beer. If for any reason the beer does not come out of the
tap, please refer to the

Tapping the Beer Keg section.

Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly (see Regulator section).

Hold the glass steady at a 45° angle. When it is ²

/ 3

full, straighten

the glass. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head and the
collar on an average glass should be ¾” to 1” high, ideally.
