Caring for Your uKeg's Color Finish

The surface and color of your uKeg is a durable coating that is bonded to the stainless steel bottle in a thin layer. Your coated uKeg should not corrode. For best results when cleaning, please follow instructions below:

• To clean the surface, gently wash with soap and water or mild detergents.
• To remove spots, discoloration, or minor blemishes, gentle rubbing with a soft cloth and water is recommended.
• Do not use polishing compounds or abrasive pads to polish the color surfaces.
• Spot cleaning this way can remove the finish which can later lead to corrosion.
• The ukeg’s finish, while strong, is not impervious to scratching, so if you want it to look nice, treat it nice.

• Squeeze tabs and pull retainer out.

• Inspect cartridge seal for cracks or defects. Replace if needed. Note orientation when removing.

• Insert new seal in orientation shown.

• Reinstall retainer and seal.

• Push retainer down until both tabs click outward.

• Make sure retaining tabs are fully pushed out and seated properly.

• Cap O-ring should be tight and smooth.

• Make sure O-ring is installed as shown and free of damage.

• Pressure off is counterclockwise.
