What are the dimensions of the machine?

The dimensions of the machine are approximately 44.5cm (H) x 29.4cm (W) x 40.1cm (D).

Troubleshooting

Beer is not cooling to the desired temperature.

Check if the machine's temperature setting is correct. Ensure adequate ventilation around the machine and that ambient room temperature is within operational limits (below 38°C). Allow sufficient time for initial cooling (up to 10 hours).

Beer is pouring too foamy or with a poor head.

Ensure the keg is properly installed and chilled to the correct temperature for the beer type. Check for any obstructions in the tap or beer line. Make sure the glass is clean and tilted correctly during pouring.

The companion app is not connecting to the machine.

Verify your smartphone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled. Ensure the machine is powered on and within range. Try restarting both the app and your phone, and if issues persist, re-pair the machine in the app settings.

Machine is not turning on.

Confirm the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and a functional electrical outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to verify it has power. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Volume indicator shows incorrect beer level.

Ensure the keg is fully inserted and seated correctly. The indicator may take a short time to update after significant pours. If it remains inaccurate, try removing and reinserting the keg.
