2 – SERVING THE BEER
Preparing the Torp
IMPORTANT: before inserting a TORP into THE SUB COMPACT, check the
Use By Date indicated on the side of THE TORP. Do not use THE TORP if
it has passed this date.
To reduce the cooling time, we recommend storing THE TORP in the
refrigerator for a few hours before use. See the instructions on THE TORP.
Tip: we recommend always keeping a spare TORP in the refrigerator.
In this way, you will always have a chilled TORP available.
Do not store THE TORP at a temperature of more than 28° C or at
temperatures below zero, and do not expose it to direct sunlight. Do not
shake or drop it.
Cooling the Torp
For an optimum temperature, only serve the beer when the temperature
indicator has changed to green.
In THE SUB COMPACT: cooling of the beer to a temperature of 2°C inside
THE SUB COMPACT takes around 12 hours if THE TORP and the appliance
are at room temperature (22°C).
In the refrigerator: this time may be reduced by several hours if THE TORP
has been stored in the refrigerator the day before.
The temperature of the beer in THE TORP has a direct impact on the level
of foam: the beer should be served sufficiently cold, when the temperature
indicator is green.
IMPORTANT: never store a TORP in the freezer as this could cause
leakage due to freezing of the beer.
Installing the Torp in the Sub Compact
Remove THE TORP cover (4). The tube is housed inside the cover; remove
it. Place the tube connector in the opening of THE TORP until you hear
a click. THE TORP (5) is now ready to use. You can place it in THE SUB
COMPACT by following these steps (6):
- Open the appliance door completely (7-8).

- Remove the upper part of the dispensing head (9).
- Insert THE TORP into the refrigeration chamber by exerting pressure
on the rear part in order to insert the front part. Thread the tap tube and
insert the pouring end of the tube in the service tap (10).
- Replace the upper part of the dispensing head (11).
- Re-close the door of THE SUB COMPACT (12).
THE TORP is correctly installed, the temperature indicator is red marking
the start of the cooling phase. When it is green, the beer is ready to be
served (13).
Upon installation of THE TORP, THE SUB COMPACT verifies the pressure
inside THE TORP and activates the pump each time the pressure is
insufficient.
IMPORTANT: do not unload a TORP until it is completely empty. A
TORP that has been unloaded from THE SUB COMPACT is depressurized.
Therefore, the beer quality is no longer guaranteed.
Preparing the Glass
To pour the perfect beer, it is essential to use a clean cold glass. Rinse your
glass in fresh, cold water before serving the beer.
This prevents the liquid warming up in the glass as well as the formation
of too much foam.
Serving the Beer
- Incline your glass at an angle of 45° with respect to the tap.
- Pull the handle quickly forward as far as it will go. Then gradually
straighten the glass as it fills (14-15-16).
When broaching a TORP, there is more foam in the first glass than in
the following glasses. To limit the formation of foam in the first glass,
we recommend pouring 2 centimeters of foam, then clean this glass and
restart pouring the beer.
For the other glasses, hold the tap handle in forward position until the
glass is filled.
IMPORTANT: If you pull the handle too slowly you will generate extra
foam.
