Please do not place the Tap Machine directly against the wall so that the exhaust air can escape!

7. Keep a distance

Leave about 8cm at the back and 3cm at the sides.

Bottle Stopper

At Jägermeister, we use two stoppers:

- Neutral stopper for standard openings - NRC stopper for non-refillable openings

Please check which bottle type is used in your country before ordering.

Two specialized bottle stoppers with green and black components are shown next to a Jägermeister bottle cap on a brown-orange background.

Note

If you have NRC bottles in your country, please remove the golden ring. Only then screw the NRC stopper onto the bottle.

The Filling

Make sure that the bottle stopper is properly engaged. Insert the Jägermeister bottles with the stopper mounted vertically into the shafts. The Jägermeister will now start flowing into the Tap Machine. When the tank is full, the flow of the Jägermeister stops automatically – thanks to the used bottle stopper(s).

Recommendation

If you are not expecting many guests, you don´t have to fill up the device to the maximum, since it will be cold faster and will use less energy!

The Start-up

ATTENTION: Before you switch on the device, please tap at least 2cl of Jägermeister to remove residual water from the pipes.

Switch on

To switch on the Tap Machine, set the main switch on the back to 1. The display lights up and cooling begins.

Waiting with anticipation

Wait at least 30 minutes before use, to ensure the perfect ice cold shot.

The perfect serve

A white snowflake icon appears next to three white glasses with the Jägermeister logo on an orange background, indicating a cold serving temperature.

PERFECT SERVE SHOT RULES

Shot glasses directly from the freezer!

Serve it fast!

Don't forget the necessary cooling time!

A three-panel diagram on an orange background illustrates how to dispense Jägermeister: first, a tap angled down with a glass below; second, the tap vertical, dispensing into the glass; third, the tap angled up with a full glass.

Let's get started

Pull the tap handle toward you to fill the shot glass to the mark. Release to stop.

NOTE: The handle may freeze slightly over time. This is normal and won’t affect cooling.

Enjoy your ice-cold shots! CHEERS & PROST!

Cleaning after use

NOTE: Don't forget this step as it will extend the lifecycle of your device!

TIP: For cleaning you can use an empty, rinsed out Jägermeister bottle filled with warm water to place it one the Tap Machine.

A two-panel diagram on an orange background shows a Jägermeister tap and glass. The left panel shows the tap angled upwards with a full glass. The right panel shows the tap angled downwards with an empty, outlined glass, indicating turning off.

1. Step

Turn off and unplug the Tap Machine. Remove bottles and stoppers.

Drain all Jägermeister, then fill bottle shafts with warm water.

Repeat the cleaning process until the water comes out clear.

An orange background shows a white diagram of a Jägermeister dispenser, with a curved arrow indicating tilting or rotating it to drain water.

2. Step

Now drain the water completely by tilting the Tap Machine a little forward as shown in picture below.
