1. Power On and Cooling: Once plugged in, the dispenser will automatically begin cooling the beer. The LED display will show the current temperature inside the unit.
2. Temperature Adjustment: Use the temperature control buttons (usually '+' and '-') on the front panel to set your desired cooling temperature between 3°C and 12°C. The thermoelectric cooling system will work to reach and maintain this temperature.
3. Monitoring Indicators: The LED display provides real-time information:
   • Temperature: Shows the current internal temperature.
   • Beer Level: Indicates the approximate amount of beer remaining in the keg.
   • Freshness Countdown: A 30-day countdown starts when a new keg is inserted, helping you track the beer's optimal freshness period.
4. Pouring Beer: To pour a glass of beer, place a glass under the tap. Pull the tap handle forward to dispense the beer. For a perfect pour with ideal foam, tilt the glass at a 45-degree angle initially, then straighten it as it fills. Release the handle to stop the flow.
