PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances
are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old
appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF APPLIANCE

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old appliance.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD APPLIANCE:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

WARNING These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in this unit will operate properly.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical outlet.
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting keg cooler to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent
any risk.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull
straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with
insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
unit from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT Turning the Temperature Control to
“OFF” turns off the compressor and prevents your
appliance from cooling, but does not disconnect the
power to the other electrical components. To turn off
power to your appliance you must unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet.

CO2 CANISTER SAFE HANDLING

• CO2 canisters must be handled with extreme care. They contain potentially
hazardous high pressure compressed gas. Make sure you read and understand all of these instructions
before installation.

shops, party stores, fire supply shops, or where kegs are purchased.

• ALWAYS connect CO2 gas canisters to a pressure regulator.

• NEVER drop or throw the CO2 canister.

• NEVER connect gas canister directly to keg.

• ALWAYS keep CO2 canisters in a cool place 70°F (21.5°C) or less) and away from heat.

• In case of CO2 leakage, ventilate and evacuate the area immediately.

• ALWAYS keep canister secured in an upright position.
