entrapment to children.
• This appliance must be connected to a properly grounded electrical
outlet (see Grounding Instructions)
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug.
• Do no use this product near water, for example: in a wet basement, near
a swimming pool or sink.
• Do not defrost this appliance using other electric appliances (i.e. hair
dryer) and never attempt to scrape or remove ice/frost from the
evaporator (cold plate) with sharp objects.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning
and/or attempting repairs/servicing.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere
that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, carports, etc.).
IMPORTANT WARNING

Installation Instructions
BEFORE USING YOUR
BEER DISPENSER
INSTALLATION OF
BEER DISPENSER
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 1 Safety Guard Rail
• 1 Drip Tray (2 Pieces)
• 1 CO2 Cylinder Support
• 1 CO2 Regulator
• 1 CO2 Empty Cylinder
• 1 CO2 Air Line Hose (Coloured)
• 1 Beer Keg Coupler
• 1 Beer Tower
• Before plugging in the keg cooler, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Place your Beer Dispenser on a floor that is strong enough to support
the Beer Dispenser when it is fully loaded.
• Allow 3 inches of space between the back and sides of the Beer
Dispenser, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the Beer Dispenser away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic
coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the Beer Dispenser not to
perform properly. This unit is not designed for outside installation (ie
garages, porches, etc.)
• Avoid locating the Beer Dispenser in excessive humidity.
• Plug the Beer Dispenser into a dedicated, properly installed-grounded
wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down
for 2-3 hours before placing any contents in the Beer Dispenser
compartment.
• 1 Pull Handle (Beer Tower Faucet)
• 4 Plugs: For Guard Rail Holes
• 1 Metal Plate For Cabinet Bottom
• 2 Steel wire shelves
• 2 Steel Clamps for Coloured Hose (1 spare)
• 4 Castors (2 front with locks)
• 2 Metal Washers for front castors
• 1 Rubber Gasket (may not be required
in all unit configurations)
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of
electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by
an authorized service center.
This Beer Dispenser should be properly grounded for your safety. The
power cord of this Beer Dispenser is equipped with a three-prong plug
which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong
from the power cord supplied.
Use of extension cords is not recommended.

Installation Instructions
SINGLE GAUGE
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION (cont)
This Beer Dispenser requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical
outlet with three-prong ground receptacle. The cord should be secured
behind the Beer Dispenser and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the Beer Dispenser by pulling the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
WARNING
CO2 GAS CAN BE DANGEROUS
CO2 cylinders contain high-pressure compressed gas which can
be hazardous if not handled properly. Make sure you READ and
UNDERSTAND the following procedures for CO2 cylinders
BEFORE INSTALLATION.
1. ALWAYS connect the CO2 cylinder to a regulator. Failure to do so
could result in explosion with possible injury when the cylinder valve is
opened.
2. NEVER connect the CO2 cylinder directly to the keg.
3. ALWAYS follow correct procedures when cylinders are changed as per
local codes.
4. ALWAYS secure the CO2 cylinder in an upright position.
5. NEVER drop or throw a CO2 cylinder.
6. ALWAYS keep a CO2 cylinder away from heat. Store extra cylinders in
a cool place (preferably 70°F). Securely fasten with a chain in an
upright position when storing.
7. ALWAYS ventilate and leave the area immediately if CO2 leakage has
occurred.
8. ALWAYS check the D.O.T. test date on the cylinder neck before
installation. If over five (5) years, do not use, return cylinder to gas
supplier.
9. NEVER connect a keg without a safety pressure release.

and wing nut through the uncovered hole on top.
• Lock the beer tower assembly to the top and make sure to position the
beer faucet so it is aligned with the cabinet front (6 o’clock position).
• The rubber gasket (# 2 in parts list), can be used to make the connection
between the tower and the cooler tighter if needed. If Beer Tower will not
turn to lock in place, try removing the rubber gasket. (Rubber gasket may
not be required in all unit configurations.)
• This plate should always be installed when the keg is in place to protect
against unnecessary damage to the floor of the cabinet.
INSTALLATION OF THE
BEER KEG
Figure 4
INSTALLATION OF THE
KEG COUPLER
• Position the beer keg directly in front of the open door. Using keg
handles only, carefully lift the beer keg. (See Figure 5)
• To place the beer keg inside the cabinet, brace your knees behind the
beer keg. Lift the front of the keg just enough so the front edge of the
keg is resting on the front edge of the Beer Dispenser bottom cabinet.
(See Figure 6)
• Grasp the keg handles and slide it all the way into the cabinet.

of the coupler).
• Make sure the ball retainer is in place on the coupler, with the ‘arms’
down into the coupler.
• Place wing nut into the top of the coupler turning until tight.
• Make sure that the CO2 is turned off, and the Secondary valve on the
regulator is in the ‘Closed’ position.
• Pull out and release the pressure release valve on the Coupler to purge
any air pressure.
• Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed position.
• Pull tapping handle out and press downward until it locks into position.
(See Figure 8) The keg is now tapped.
• Make sure the secondary shut-off valve (shown in figure 9 in ‘Open’
position) is closed. To open the main CO2 cylinder valve, slowly turn the
main valve counter-clockwise until fully open.
• Notice the needle on the regulator gauge start to climb.
ADJUSTING THE CO2
REGULATOR
Rubber washer goes here
Figure 7
The gauge monitors low internal keg pressure and should be adjusted to
read between 10-12 psi. (See Figure 10). The pressure can be adjusted
as needed.
• Release adjustment lock nut marked 2.
• Using a flat screwdriver, turn regulator screw marked 3.
o To increase pressure, turn screw clockwise.
o To decrease pressure, turn screw counter - clockwise.
• Retighten lock nut marked 2.
• Open secondary shut off valve to let CO2 flow into the keg.
• Allow several minutes for the keg to properly pressurize. Regulator
gauge may drop while this happens. (Note: Listen for hissing along all
connections to identify if there are any leaks)
IMPORTANT: Please put
rubber washer on the
coupler to avoid any leaks.

Note: To prevent leakage, use a Spanner faucet wrench to further tighten
the faucet.
Attach the black plastic lever (pull handle) to the top of the faucet by
tightening it by hand clockwise until the end, holding in the silver nut
underneath so it does not turn. If there is still a small drip from the faucet,
you may have tightened the plastic lever too much and may need to
unscrew silver snug counter-clockwise (as shown) one turn.
DISPENSING OF BEER
• Keep beer keg refrigerated at all times.
• Never allow beer lines to dry out.
• Use clean beer glassware before pouring.
• Hold glass at a 45° angle when 2/3 full, start to straighten glass as the
glass fills.

Operating Instructions
SETTING THE
TEMPERATURE
The temperature is controlled by adjusting/setting the thermostat control
knob. To start the unit and achieve maximum cooling quickly;
• Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest (maximum)
setting on the blue (wide) section of the control dial. (Fig A)
