6 FINAL ASSEMBLY MODEL 1000 FINAL ASSEMBLY Slowly lower the upper half of The
Beer Machine in an even attitude so that
all the edges of the top and bottom
halves are aligned and meet at the side
interlock tabs. END CLAMPS End clamps are beveled at both ends, see
figure 1, item 3. Side clamps are beveled
only on one end. Both are channeled to
slide over rails sticking out from the upper and lower case halves of The Beer
Machine over the main seal area.
Carefully slide on one end clamp and then
the other. Confirm that the two halves
remain aligned at all corners and sides. SIDE CLAMPS The flat end of the clamp is positioned
in the middle of The Beer Machine.
Install one corner clamp and then the
clamp on the diagonally opposite
corner. Proceed in the same manner
with the remaining two side clamps. figure 7 For Model 2000 see page 8 To loosen cap and clamps when cleaning between brews, rinse under hot water. Then remove cap and fill the Beer Machine with
hot water to loosen and soften sediments. When removing the spigot and carbonation unit an effective way to hold or turn the
Retainer nut is to use the end of a clamp. The carbonation unit should not be put into water. Clean spigot thoroughly between
brews. Open and close while flushing out with hot water and then a bleach flush. Inspect closely for any small particles. The
spigot can be disassembled for more thorough cleaning by removing the handle-base. Simply turn the handle-base counter
clockwise (it is threaded) and pull to remove. After cleaning, inspect white rubber valve and assemble the spigot turning the
handle-base in a clockwise motion on to the spout. Completely disassemble all parts and wash with hot water. Store completely
disassembled to prevent microorganisms from gathering in joints. Do not use abrasives, solventsand never use a dishwasher. CLEANING – AFTER BREWING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The alcohol content of beer ranges from about three
percent to about eight percent by volume. For some
people, one beer, while not considered sufficient to
cause legal impairment, is sufficient to cause
irresponsible behaviour. For others, four beers might
result in a blood alcohol level considered to be legally
impaired, but might not cause that person to act in an irresponsible manner. Everyone should know and
understand their legal limits, their tolerances and their
obligations to society whenever they drink alcoholic
beverages. Be responsible about how you drink beer,
who you offer it to, and how much you offer to others.
It's your social responsibility. Please observe that
pregnancy and alcohol do not mix. SAFETY AND CAUTION Remember that The Beer Machine, while it is fermenting, is an operating pressure vessel. Although designed with the
purpose of providing you enjoyment and safety, accidents are always possible. Keep out of reach and away from small
children or pets, especially during the fermentation period when The Beer Machine is under fluctuating
pressure. Use caution to ensure the pressure control valve does not become contaminated with sediment from a very active
fermentation or impeded by obstacles placed on top of it. Defoamer disks can help prevent sediments from reaching the
pressure control valve during fermentation. It is recommended that during the first three to four days of fermentation
The Beer Machine be placed out of contact from children or pets. Never pick up The Beer Machine by the spigot or
carbonation unit while full or under pressure. Always carry by the base.
