have it pre chilled if possible).
• NOTE: Carefully read any information
provided by the beer manufacturer that
relates to the keg and its operation.
• If tted, remove keg safety clasp according to
keg manufacturers instructions.
• Pierce keg seal with beer dispensing unit
probe (g.3).
• Push the tube down as far as it will go in
order to be able to t dispenser unit onto the

seal.
• The seal ts over the open bottom end of the
• IDENTIFY YOUR KEG
• Firstly it is important to know what type of keg you
wish to load into your beer dispenser
• This will determine how to set up this dispenser.
• Universal kegs that require the use of a CO2
cannister to pressurise them will require the use of
the beer dispenser unit/T bar setup
• Kegs that are already pressurised such as Heineken
can be connected directly to the outlet tap, this
dispenser is supplied with 3 suitable keg adaptors
for this purpose.
• Both methods have a different setup.
• USING A HEINEKEN KEG
• NOTE: Heineken kegs are pre-charged with CO
2
and
DO NOT need use of the gas regulator control.
• NOTE: Before connecting the keg ensure
• that the beer delivery tap is in the fully
closed position.
• Remove the plastic security cap from the
keg using a at head screwdriver. (Fig. 1)
• Place the keg into the dispenser, line up the cut out
to allow the beer delivery tube to pass through.
• Attach to the Heineken adaptor (g.1) and the clear
beer delivery tube, feed this into the tap head as
shown (Fig.8) before clipping it to the Heineken
beer keg.
• Mount the adaptor into the keg by pressing it into
keg outlet and clipping it in place.

leave the cannister to pressurise the system.
• Tighten down the housing until you feel it
reach the bottom of the thread. (Fig. 6)
• DO NOT over tighten.
• DO NOT attempt to remove or change a
cartridge if it is not completely empty, this
can dislodge or damage the ‘O’ ring and seals
within the system and cause damage to the
unit and you.
• It is safe to change a CO
2
cannister mid keg as
long as the cartridge is completely empty.
• NOTE: Ensure that the pressure control
valve is set to fully closed before attempting
removal or replacement of a gas cylinder.
• NOTE: If the beer keg is empty ensure you
draw of the last of the CO
2
cannister before
reloading the dispenser, this is done simply
by opening the beer delivery tap allowing the
balance of gas to escape.

of the unit a height marker on the wall ‘MAX’.
• Carefully pour 800 ml of clean cold tap water
into the chamber up to the ‘MAX’ mark.
• Cold water will help the unit get to temperature
faster.
• DO NOT ll past the ‘MAX’ mark on the inside
of the chamber.

interface on the top of the unit (g.9).
• NOTE: The LED display shows the current
temperature of the beer and pressing and
holding the ‘+’ key displays the temperature
you have set the unit at to chill down to.
• Press and hold the ‘+’ key and then use the ‘+’
and ‘-’ keys to set the temperature.
• Allow the unit time to reach the set
temperature before placing keg into the
cooling compartment.
• If using a ‘universal’ beer keg, open the
pressure control valve (g.9) to regulate the
ow of gas and gently pull the tap handle to
begin pouring.
• Use the pressure control valve to control the
beer’s ow rate and level of frothing.
• If serving Heineken beer, ensure the pressure
control valve is fully closed as the kegs have
their own internal pressurising device hence
there is no need to use a CO2 cannister to
pressurise the keg.
• LED INTERFACE
• When the unit has been switched on, the LED
is activated.
• The interface will show the current beer
temperature.
• NOTE: To cool a beer keg to 4
o
C may take up
to 20 hours depending on initial beer temp
and ambient temp.
• The unit has a temperature setting range of
between 4
o
C and 12
o
C.
• To set a required beer temperature use the ‘+’
or ‘-’ key to set the value.
• To display the current set value press the ‘-’
button for one second. The display will return
to the current beer temperature after three
seconds.
• NOTE: The unit has a memory function that
uses the last selected temperature.
• ACCESSORIES
• The Baridi beer dispenser is supplied with a
number of additional components and some
spare parts.
• CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the power plug from the supply when
performing cleaning or maintenance.
• It is recommended to replace the water inside

• NOTE: The drip tray only has a volume of
approximately 400 ml while the unit has a
volume of approximately 800 ml. Hence
attention will need to be paid to the draining
process to avoid spillage.
• Alternatively remove the drip tray, slide the
dispenser to the edge of the table and hold at
least a 1L jug under the drain pipe, open the
drain lever on the face of the unit and allow
the water to drain out.
• Close the drain lever before adding fresh
water.
• Cleaning the internals of the unit is imperative
to meet hygiene requirements. Clean before
rst use or long periods of non-use.
• Clean all internals ONLY with warm, clean
water.
• Cleaning the unit when changing kegs of
dierent beers is also recommended to
improve your drinking experience.
• Disconnect the CO2 gas feed hose from the
dispensing unit and hold the tap in the open
position. Using the water bulb lled with
clean, warm water, force water through the
tube and out through the tap. Repeat until
satised that the unit is clean.
• Withdraw the beer dispensing unit from the
keg and using the water bulb ush the unit
through (Fig. 11) shows the process for
universal kegs requiring the CO2 connection.
Repeat until satised that the unit is clean.
• For pressurised kegs unclip the keg adaptor
from the top of the keg and clean as shown
(Fig. 12). Repeat until satised that the unit
is clean.
• DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaning
materials on any surface of the unit.
• Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a clean
dry cloth.
• For more soiled surfaces use a neutral
detergent, wipe down with a clean damp cloth
and dry thoroughly with a clean dry cloth.
• CARTRIDGE PIERCING TOOL
• The cartridges used in this unit are of the blind
type i.e. they are NOT threaded. As such they
require piercing in order to operate.
• Should the piercing tool need replacing,
remove the empty gas cartridge.
• Carefully remove the ‘O’ ring seal from the
cartridge nest and lift out the installed piercing
tool (g.13).
• Insert the replacement piercing tool and ‘O’
ring noting that the orientation of the piercing
point is towards an inserted gas cartridge.
