5. SETTING LIQUID AND FOAM AMOUNTSCAUTIONTo reduce the risk of injury, do not put your fingers behind the platform while it is moving.

IMPORTANTThe liquid and foam amounts are adjusted by visual check of dispensed beer and button operation. The set amounts vary with
the CO2 gas pressure. Readjustment is necessary every time the CO2 gas pressure is changed.
The setting is available for any two mug sizes. Place the larger mug on the lower platform and the smaller mug on the upper
platform. The larger mug must be at least 2 cm higher than the smaller mug.
The automatic dispensing is intended for a standard glass mug. To avoid excessive foaming, do not use a paper cup or
ceramic mug.
The set amounts may vary depending on the ambient temperature, beer keg temperature, use condition and remaining beerlevel.
The tolerance of set amounts is about 30 mL per 400 mL mug. The CO2 gas pressure must be adjusted according to the beer
keg temperature. The set amounts may vary depending on the performance of the regulator controlling the CO2 gas pressure.
If the set amounts vary too much, the regulator must be replaced.
Empty the drain pan frequently before it overflows onto the floor. The cooling water inside the water tank absorbs moisture in
the air and flows through the overflow hose into the drain pan.
