 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

 EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.

 SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very
susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges /
outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances
you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the
appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector
needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.

8
 Installation of Your Appliance

• Take the appliance out of its packaging (do not allow children to play with plastic parts, as this can
cause a possible choking hazard).
• Place your Party Pub on a steady and horizontal flat surface, leaving at least 5 inches / 10 cm on
either side so as to allow correct ventilation of the appliance.
• Set the drip tray into the notches provided.
• Install the dispenser handle and the dispensing head to the door, making sure that both end-
pieces perfectly fit together.

• Connect the appliance to the 115V AC power supply

• Screw the piercing pin into the dispensing unit. Make sure that the transparent seal is properly
located on the pin before screwing, otherwise, fit it correctly.

Dispensing unit

Piercing pin with transparent Keg seal

Preparing the keg

Your Party Pub will keep your 5L Keg cool for an almost indefinite period. Once a keg (your Party
Pub is designed to hold up to 2 5L Kegs) has been inserted into the running Party Pub, it will
maintain a nice, cool temperature. Remember to keep your Party Pub out of direct sunlight and away
from any other direct sources of heat.

This appliance is designed for most 5-liter kegs.

Your Party Pub can cool a 5-liter keg from 25°C to 3°C (77º to 38ºF) in 9 hours.
Pre-cooling is not needed if the Party Pub is cooled to a temperature of 38ºF
Your Party Pub is designed to refrigerate a 5-liter keg down to a 3 °C (38ºF) temperature within
10 hours.
Never put a keg into the freezer. The beer might freeze and the keg could burst.

9
IMPORTANT:
Before piercing the plug on the top of the keg, you must always follow the instructions marked
on the keg to eliminate the excess gas and ensure that the keg has rested long enough to
avoid foam coming out through the tap faucet.
a) Heineken keg:
When using the Heineken type keg:
Remove the spout that is supplied with the keg. Remove the adaptor from the keg.
Using the Heineken keg adapter supplied with your Mini-Pub attach it to the dispensing end of the
spout. Insert the end of the faucet hose into the Heineken adapter.

b) Keg with rubber plug:

This type of plug allows you to pierce the keg simply using the dispensing kit.

c) Keg with combined plug:

This type of plug requires the excess air to be vented from the keg by complying with the instructions
indicated on the keg. Then, this part must be removed by vigorously pulling it so as to reveal the
second part of the plug which can be pierced as in example b).

d) Keg with vent plug:

Since both plugs are visually similar, it is impossible to differentiate between a vent plug and a
combined plug.
With the vent plug, proceed as with the combined plug (see example c): open the plug and allow the
air to vent out (Follow the keg manufacturer’s guide as printed on the keg).
Then, you must remove the vent plug as follows:
Using a flat head screwdriver, place the screwdriver underneath the locking ring and lift up the plug. A
part of the plug will fall into the keg. This is normal and will not alter the beer's flavor.
Then, fit the all-purpose plug (white keg seal) provided with your appliance into the opening where the
original plug used to be.

d) Other types of kegs:

Remove the plug's cover then cut the vent plug with the pliers or other tools. Then, fit the all-purpose
plug (white keg seal) provided with your appliance into the opening where the original plug used to be.

10
CAUTION: allow the beer to rest before piercing the plug so as to avoid beer spray.

Piercing pin:
Prior to installing the piercing pin in the keg, place it under running water so that it is wet at the time of
insertion.
Fit the bit vertically and drive it vigorously into the keg.
Then, secure the dispensing head on the keg, pull the locking latch outwards then release it. A click
should be heard, indicating that the dispensing head is correctly secured on the keg.

IMPORTANT:
Once the keg is pierced, the beer contained must be consumed within 28 days, provided that it
remains refrigerated.

Setting up the keg

• Open the door by pulling the door forward with enough force to release the safety latch.
• Place the keg on the refrigerating stand, making sure that the female plug of the dispensing head
is on the right.
• Connecting the hoses: the male plug of the dispensing head corresponds to the gas inlet. The
female plug corresponds to the beer outlet.

Setting up the gas cartridge

a) 16 gram cartridge (Accessory item, sold separately)

• A 16 gram cartridge can be ordered and will dispense one or more 5L keg.
• Make sure that the pressure gauge valve is shut (to shut the valve, turn it

 DRAUGHT BEER TROUBLE GUIDE

CLOUDY BEER
When beer in glass appears hazy, and not clear.

Causes Corrections
1) 1)
• Over chilling beverage cooler and/or • Excessive low temperatures may cause hazy,

FLAT BEER

Foamy head disappears quickly: beer lacks usual zestful brewery fresh flavor.
Causes Corrections
1) 1)
• Greasy glass • Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses
that have contained milk or any other fatty
substance. Lipstick is a fatty substance.. Make
sure it is removed from glass.
• Excess amount of germicides build up and leave
a fatty film on glass, which may cause flat beer.
• It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses
where health laws permit.
• Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent.
• Do not use soap.
• Do not dry-wipe glasses. Permit glasses to air-
dry by placing them on wire or corrugated metal.
• Rinse in fresh cold water just before serving
beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass.
2) 2)
• Improper drawing of beer into glass. • Open faucet quickly and completely.
• Check and find the correct distance to hold
glass from faucet when drawing. Proper foam
should be a tight creamy head, and the collar on
the average glass should be ¾” to 1” high.
• Beer drawn without head has appearance of
being flat.
3) 3)
• Not enough pressure. • Increase pressure if beer runs too slowly.
Correct flow is to fill

that may cause obstruction.
4) 10)
• Excess CO2. • Adjust pressure when using CO2 as low as
possible, however, remembering that the applied
pressure must be slightly higher than the internal
pressure of the beer (no more than 18 lbs. should
be applied.)
• The colder the beer and the higher the applied
CO2 pressure, the more rapid the absorption of
CO2 by the beer. This over-carbonates the beer,
causing Wild Beer.
5) 11)
• Not enough pressure. • Always turn pressure on before drawing beer.
• No pressure
6) 12)
• Old Beer. • Rotate stock. The oldest beer should be tapped
first; if beer has been allowed to stand in warm
temperature beyond 45° for any excessive length
of time, it may begin secondary fermentation.
• Store beer at 40° all year round.

CONEXIÓN ELECTRICA
ADVERTENCIA
El uso incorrecto del enchufe de tierra puede ocasionar un choque eléctrico. Si el cable eléctrico esta
dañado, reemplácelo en un centro de servicio autorizado por Avanti Products.

Esta unidad debe estar conectada correctamente para su seguridad. El cable eléctrico de esta
unidad esta equipado con un enchufe de 3 puntas para ser usado en los enchufes de pared de 3
orificios para minimizar la posibilidad de choque eléctrico.

Bajo ninguna circunstancia corte o remueva la tercera punta del enchufe. Para seguridad personal,
esta unidad debe estar correctamente conectada a tierra.

Esta unidad requiere electricidad estándar de 115 Voltios AC/ 60 Hz a través de un enchufe de pared
de 3 orificios y con conexión a tierra. Haga que un electricista calificado verifique el enchufe de
pared y los circuitos para asegurar que la conexión esta correctamente conectada a tierra. Si sólo

21
I. INSTALACION
• Saque la unidad de la caja (no permita que los niños jueguen con las partes plásticas, esto puede
ocasionar el peligro de asfixia o sofocación).
• Coloque el Party Pub sobre una superficie plana y estable, dejando 5 pulgadas / 10 cm a cada
lado para permitir la correcta ventilación.
• Coloque la Bandeja de Goteo en la ranura.

II. PREPARANDO EL KEG (BARRIL)

El Dispensador mantendrá el barril de 5L frío por un tiempo indefinido. Recuerde mantener el Party
Pub fuera de la luz solar directa y otras fuentes de calor.

Esta unidad está diseñada para usar la mayoría de barriles de 5 Lt. Su Party Pub está diseñado para
enfriar dos barriles de 5 Lt a una temperatura de 3º C (38º F) en 10 horas. Nunca coloque el barril en
el congelador. La cerveza podría congelarse y el barril explotar.

IMPORTANTE
Antes de abrir el barril, siga siempre las instrucciones marcadas en este para eliminar el exceso de
gas y asegurar que el barril ha reposado lo suficiente para evitar que la espuma salga.
a. Barril con tapón de hule: Permite que perfore el tapón solamente usando el juego del
Dispensador.
b. Barril con tapón mixto: Este tapón requiere que el exceso de aire salga del barril para cumplir
con las instrucciones indicadas en este. Después hale la tapa con fuerza para llegar al tapón
descrito en la parte a.
c. Barril con tapón ventilado: Como el tapón mixto y el tapón ventilado son visualmente
similares, es difícil diferenciarlos. Con el ventilado proceda como en el caso del combinado
(vea ej. b.): abra el tapón y permita que el aire salga (siga las guías del fabricante tal como
se indica en el barril). Después retire el tapón de la siguiente manera: Usando un
destornillador, colóquelo bajo el aro y levante el tapón. Una parte del tapón caerá dentro del
barril. Esto es normal y no alterar el sabor de la cerveza. Después, coloque el tapón
(blanco) incluido.
d. Cerveza Heineken. Cuando use barriles de cerveza Heineken, remueve el tubo de salida del
barril. Remueva el adaptador del barril. Instale el conector de Heineken (incluído) al
adaptador del barril. Instale de nuevo el adaptador junto con el conector al barril. Instale
este conector de la manguera que viene del grifo al extremo del conector. Ya puede disfrutar
de la cerveza.
e. Con aguja: Antes de instalar la aguja en el barril, mójela para facilitar su penetración a través
del tapón amarillo. Colóquela verticalmente y penétrela dentro del barril. Después asegure la
parte superior del juego de dispensador en la parte superior del barril, hale el seguro hacia
fuera y luego suéltelo. Cuando esté correctamente asegurada en el barril oirá un “click”.
f. Una vez que la aguja esté insertada, la cerveza podrá ser consumida por aproximadamente
28 días, siempre y cuando el barril se mantenga refrigerado.

III. COLOCANDO EL BARRIL

• Coloque el barril en la plataforma, asegurándose que el enchufe femenino de la cabeza
dispensadora esté al lado derecho.
• Conecte las mangueras: el enchufe femenino de la cabeza dispensadora corresponde a la
entrada del gas. El enchufe masculino corresponde a la salida de la cerveza.
• Cierre la puerta.

22
IV. COLOCANDO EL CILINDRO DE GAS
a. El cilindro de gas CO2 no está incluído pero está disponible como accesorio de nuestro
departamento de partes.
• Inserte el cilindro de 16 gramos en la parte larga (inferior) del adaptador.
• Enrosque las dos partes del adaptador hasta que escuche “Pop”, este sonido indica
que se ha perforado el sello del cilindro y que el gas CO2 fluirá libremente,
asegurase de apretarlo firmemente para evitar fugas o escape de CO2.
• Conecte la manguera insertándola en la ranura (para verificar que la manguera está
correctamente conectada, trate de halarla suavemente. Resistencia significa que la
manguera está correctamente conectada. Para desconectarla, empuje el cuello
metálico en la salida de la manguera mientras la hala). Vea abajo.
• Ajuste el regulador rotando el botón, a favor de la rotación del reloj hasta alcanzar .5
bars.
• Coloque el ensamblado completo en la base de soporte provista en el
compartimiento específico al lado derecho del Party Pub.

V. AJUSTANDO LA PRESION DEL GAS

Tipo de cerveza Contenido de CO2 en % Presion de bar approx. 5º C
Alemanas +/- 0.5 +/- 0.4 a 0.5 bars
Francesas +/- 0.6 a 0.8 +/- 0.8 bars
Muy fermentadas, oscuras, +/- 0.6 a 0.8 +/- 0.8 a 1 bar
ales

VI. AJUSTANDO LA TEMPERATURA

Ajuste la temperatura de acuerdo a su gusto. Esta puede variar entre 3º a 6º C (38º a 43º F), usando
el selector de temperatura ( y ) localizados bajo el indicador de temperatura.
El Dispensador de Cerveza también está equipado con una luz interior, que puede ser apagada o
encendida al presionar el tercer botón debajo del indicador de temperatura.
Si Ud. Desea encender o apagar el indicador de temperatura, presione el botón de luz por 5
segundos aproximadamente o hasta que el indicador se apague; este se mantendrá apagado hasta
que presione cualquiera de los botones.

VII. DISPENSANDO LA CERVEZA

• Siempre use vasos limpios y enjuagados con agua fría antes de servir. Las impurezas evitan
que la espuma se forme en el vaso.
• Sostenga el vaso bajo el grifo dispensador, asegurándose que el extremo no esté en
contacto con el vaso.
• Hale la manija del grifo dispensador hacia ud. Mientras sostiene el vaso inclinado en ángulo.
La cantidad de espuma depende de la inclinación del vaso. Enderece el vaso mientras lo
llena.
• Regrese la manija a la posición original cuando la espuma llegue al borde del vaso. La
cerveza parará de fluir.

VIII. LIMPIEZA
Cuando el barril esté vacío, es aconsejable que limpie el Party Pub.
a. Para vaciar la cerveza que quede en la línea y remover el barril:
• Abra la puerta y cierre la válvula (para cerrarla, gírela en sentido contrario a las
agujas del reloj) cierre la puerta.
• Coloque un envase bajo el grifo dispensador y drene halando la manija hacia Ud.
hasta que no salga más cerveza.
• Abra la puerta y desconecte las mangueras de la cabeza dispensadora.
• Vacíe el gas restante usando la herramienta provista, tal como se indica en la
fotografía. Cuando escuche un siseo significa que todo el gas ha sido expulsado,
continúe este paso hasta que no oiga mas siseo.
• Retire la cabeza dispensadora del barril, empujando el sostén y removiendo la aguja
del barril.

23
 b. Para limpiar la líneas de cerveza
• Llene el recipiente plástico de limpieza incluído con esta unidad hasta la mitad con agua
tibia. Si es necesario agregue un poco de detergente. Presione firmemente en el juego
del dispensador dentro del barril.
• Reconecte las mangueras al juego del dispensador tal como se indica en la sección III
COLOCANDO EL BARRIL.
• Abra la válvula de presión y ajústela a 1.0 bar por 5 segundos y luego cierre la válvula
nuevamente.
• Hale la manija del grifo hacia ud. y deje que la solución limpiadora fluya completamente.
• Una vez que se termine la solución limpiadora, enjuague la línea siguiendo el mismo
método pero usando agua limpia.
• Hale la manija del grifo para vaciar la botella de limpieza y suelte el gas restante.
• Los accesorios del Party Pub no están diseñados para ser lavados en máquina lavadora.
c. Para limpiar las superficies exteriores del Party Pub
• Antes de limpiar la unidad, apáguela y desenchúfela de la electricidad.
• La Bandeja de Goteo y la Cubierta se pueden sacar de la unidad separadas, o juntas
halándolas. Después de limpiar la Bandeja y la Cubierta se pueden regresar a su sitio,
en forma inversa a como se sacaron.

IX. ALMACENAJE
Cuando la unidad no se usa por un período largo de tiempo, retire el enchufe de la pared y guarde el
cordón en el compartimiento del barril. Guarde la unidad en un lugar seco y fuera del alcance de los
niños.

PROBLEMAS CON LA CERVEZA

CERVEZA TURBIA
Cuando la cerveza parece opaca y no transparente.
CAUSAS CORRECCIONES
1. La cerveza está demasiado fría. Temperaturas excesivamente bajas pueden
causar cerveza turbia, nublada, especialmente
cuando la cerveza descansa sobre superficies
frías por largos períodos de tiempo.
Asegúrese que las líneas estén limpias y suba
la temperatura un poquito.
2. Sonido cuando se abre la salida Abra el grifo rápida y completamente.
parcialmente. Reemplace las arandelas y otras piezas del
grifo cuando sea necesario para permitir la
salida de cerveza con más fuerza.

CERVEZA SIN CUERPO

La espuma desaparece rápidamente: a la cerveza le falta el sabor y chispa de frescura.
CAUSAS CORRECCIONES
1. Vaso grasoso. • No lave los vasos de cerveza junto a
los vasos que han tenido leche u otra
sustancia con grasa. El lápiz labial es
una sustancia grasosa. Asegúrese de
limpiar bien los vasos.
• Cantidad excesiva de germicidas se
acumulan y dejan un residuo grasoso
en el cristal, lo que puede causar
cerveza sin cuerpo.
• Es preferible limpiar los vasos con
vapor y estilizarlos si las leyes de salud
lo permitan.
• Lave los vasos bien con un buen
detergente.
• No use jabón.
• No seque los vasos. Permita que
estos se sequen solos colocándolos en
un escurridor de metal.
• Enjuague con agua fría justo antes de
servir la cerveza. Es mejor servir la
cerveza en un vaso húmedo.
2. Verter la cerveza incorrectamente. • Abra el grifo rápida y completamente.
• Verifique y encuentre la distancia
correcta para sostener el vaso desde
el grifo cuando sirva la cerveza. La
espuma debe ser compacta y tener un
espesor de ¾” a 1” de alto.
• Cerveza sin suficiente espuma puede
aparecer sin cuerpo.
3. No hay suficiente presión. • Aumente la presión si la cerveza no
sale con suficiente fuerza.
4. Reguladores de presión muy lentos. • El asiento regular o el regulador del
diafragma puede necesitar ser
reemplazado.

25
ESPUMA SUELTA
CAUSAS CORRECCIONES
Burbujas grandes como de jabón (llamadas ojo Esta es una condición similar a la de cerveza
de pez). La espuma se asienta muy rápido. sin cuerpo. Seguir las correcciones para
cerveza sin cuerpo.

CERVEZA CON DEMASIADA ESPUMA

Cuando se sirve la cerveza, ésta tiene demasiada espuma y no suficiente líquido.
CAUSAS CORRECCIONES
1. Servir la cerveza de manera incorrecta. • Abra el grifo rápida y completamente.
• Verifique y encuentre la distancia
correcta entre el vaso y el grifo cuando
sirva. La espuma debe ser compacta,
cremosa y tener un espesor de ¾” a 1”
de alto.
2. Levadura u otras obstrucciones en el grifo. • Limpie el pico del grifo con un buen
Partes del grifo o arandelas gastadas. cepillo al diario.
• Friegue todas las partes internas del
grifo por lo menos una vez por
semana.
3.Cables retorcidos, hundidos, obstrucciones • Revise y reemplace los cables
en la línea cerca o detrás del grifo. retorcidos, hundidos, dañados del
barril al grifo.
4.Exceso de CO2. • Ajuste la presión cuando use el CO2,
tan bajo como sea posible, recordando
que la presión aplicada debe ser un
poquito más alta que la presión interna
de la cerveza (no aplique más de 18
lbs).
• Mientras más fría este la cerveza y
más alta sea la presión de CO2, la
cerveza absorberá el CO2 con mayor
rapidéz. Esto sobre-carbona la
cerveza, causando demasiada
espuma.
5.No suficiente presión o falta de presión. • Siempre encienda la presión antes de
servir cerveza.
6.Cerveza pasada. • Rote el stock. La cerveza más antigua
deber ser abierta primero; si la cerveza
ha estado en temperaturas altas más
allá de 45ºF por un período de tiempo
excesivo, podría empezar a
fermentarse otra vez.
• Almacene la cerveza a 40ºF durante
todo el año.
