3. Check the draft tap is closed and the ow control lever on
the side of the tap is pushed all the way up to its closed
position. The draft tap should be automatically closed by
its spring, which is its central sitting position (Not sitting
forward and not sitting back).

CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL MAINS
Connect the electrical cord supplied into your brewery and
thenpluginyourunittoastandard230V50-60HzACmains
and press the green on/off button on the front of the unit. This
will start up the glycol pump and the unit will start heating or
cooling. Check to see that the vessel temperature (the larger
number) on the digital display is similar to the ambient room
temperature and then set the controller temperature (the smaller
number on the digital display) to 2°C using the temperature
adjustmentbuttonsasshowninFigure66inAppendix6.This
will turn on the refrigeration compressor and will start cooling
the cone portion of the vessel. A small yellow indicator will
appear on the display and read, SUB2. Within minutes you
should be able to check this as the vessel temperature, as read

To check the heating, press the temperature adjustment buttons

GENERAL AREA CLEANLINESS
It is optimal to maintain a clean area around the brewery. It is
naturalandexpectedthatyouwillspillbeveragearoundtheunit
as time goes by. Maintain a clean area around the brewery and
wipe drips from the surface of the brewery as much as possible.
Bacteria will start to grow on spilt beverage and it is always best
to reduce any risk of infection in your beverages by keeping a
tidy and dry brewing area.
IMPORTANT: AVOIDING A MAJOR SPILL
During fermentation, the pressure will build up in the vessel.
This is how the beverage becomes carbonated. There is a risk
of a major spill if the draft tap is open and the ow control lever
is open after the ingredients are added and fermentation is
started. In this situation as the pressure builds up just a little,
most of the 23 Litres (5 Imp. gal/ 6 US gal) of beverage will
pour out the tap and onto the oor.
As described clearly in the Instructions, when you are brewing
or when you have nished pouring beverage, you must ensure
the draft tap is in its closed position. When pulled forward, the
tap is open and when pushed back it is also open (the foam
mechanism) so it must sit in its neutral position to be closed.
A new tap should always spring back to its closed position, but
a tap that is not cleaned adequately can start to build up sticky
grime and may stick out from its closed position. Children or
guests can also open the draft tap by accident.
In any case, to avoid a major spill, unless you are pouring
beverages as intended, the ow control lever on the side of
the draft tap MUST BE PUSHED UP ALL THE WAY TO ITS
FULLY CLOSED POSITION in order to ensure that there will be
no leaking out of the draft tap, even if it is somehow not fully
closed. In addition, it is important to check the draft tap itself
is also in its closed position. In this way the tap is closed by two
means and the risk of a major spill is reduced.
