READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Pertaining to the risk of Fire, Electric Shock or Injury to Persons.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate wall outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all existing local codes and ordinances.

• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not clearly understood, or if doubt exist as to whether your electrical wall outlets are properly grounded.

WARNING

If it becomes difficult to breathe and/or your head starts to ache, abnormal concentrations of carbondioxide (CO2) may

be present in the area....

CLOSE THE MAIN VALVE ON THE CO2 CYLINDER, VENTILATE AND LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY!

1. Always check the D.O.T.

(Department of Transport) as well as the T.C. (Transport Canada) testdate located on the neckof the cylinder before installation. If the date is older than five (5) years,do not use, return the gas cylinder to a gas supplier for re-certification (service charges may be applicable).

2. Always connect a CO2 gas

cylinder to a regulator.Failure to do so could result in an explosion which can possibly result in death or injury when the cylinder valve is opened.

3. Never connect a CO2 gas

cylinder directly to beer keg.

4. Always secure a CO2 gas

cylinder in an "upright" position.

5. Always keep a CO2 gas cylinder

away from heat.

6. Never drop or throw a CO2 gas

cylinder.

7. Never connect a CO2 cylinder

unless there are two (2) safety mechanism's in the pressure system;

(a) One at or on the CO2 regulator.

(b) One at or on the product

container coupler in the pressure gas line.

NOTE: The regulator andkeg coupler supplied with this unit are inclusive of such safety mechanisms.

8. CO2 gas cylinders should be

stored in the coolest part of the establishment (preferably) at 70ºF (21ºC) and must always be securely fastened in an "upright" position.

9. Always ventilate area after any

leakage of CO2.

WARNING CO CAN BE DANGEROUS!

CO2 Cylinders when charged contain high pressure compressed gas which can be hazardous if not handled properly. Read and understand the following procedures for CO2 cylinders before installation;

• 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Repairs should be performed by qualified service personnel only.

IMPORTANT WARNING

• If you have purchased this appliance to replace an old one remove either the gaskets, latches, lids or doors from the unused appliance. If it was equipped with a door lock that cannot be opened from the inside, (lock bolt) make sure the lock is removed, disabled or destroyed before discarding, this will make it impossible for children to accidentally lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.

• The refrigerator system of this appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be treated and processed separately. Call your nearest service agent or specialized servicing center. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities for proper disposal instructions. Be careful not to damage any of the refrigeration lines of the appliance.

INSTALLATION OF BEER DISPENSER

• 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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.

WARNING

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

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.
