1. Close the Shut O Valves on the Double Regulator, and
open the CO2 Tank Valve (#9) completely.
2. Unlock Screw using Allen Wrench (included). Slowly turn the Double Regulator
adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the Output Pressure
Gauge (8-12 PSI). Turning clockwise will increase the output pressure,
and turning counter-clockwise will decrease the output pressure.
3. Once desired pressure is reached, you may re-lock Screw using Allen Wrench.
4. Open the CO2 Shut O Valves on the Double Regulator to allow
gas ow from the Double Regulator to the Keg Couplers.
5. When only tapping one Keg, make sure that the unused CO2 Shut O Valve is CLOSED.
6. When the CO2 Shut O Valves are open, you will hear the keg pressurizing.
The output needle will drop momentarily until the pressure has
equalized. Then the needle will return to the point you set it at.
7. The Keg Couplers are designed with a pressure relief valve (PRV). Pull the ring on
the PRV briey to allow gas to vent. This will permit gas to ow through the Double
Regulator and help obtain a more accurate reading on the Output Pressure Gauge.
8. Re-check the output pressure on the Double Regulator, and if necessary re-adjust using step
#2 until the desired pressure is shown. It is always wise to follow up any adjustment to the
Double Regulator with a brief pull of the PRV ring to ensure an accurate output reading.

Follow these steps below to tap the Beer Keg.
1. Make sure the black pull handle of the Keg Coupler is in the closed (up)
position before installing it on the keg (Fig. 1). Insert the Keg Coupler into
the locking neck of the Beer Keg and turn clockwise until it locks into
position (Fig. 2). This means that it is secured to the Beer Keg.
2. Make sure the Beer Tower Faucet is in the closed (handle pointing straight back) position
before connecting the Keg Coupler to the Keg (Fig. 3). To secure
the tank connection, pull the Keg Coupler handle out and push down until it locks into
position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle when it shifts into the nal downward
position (Fig. 4). This will open the beer and CO2 gas valves. The Keg is now tapped.
3. Carefully tilt the Keg and rest the edge on the Keg Base Board on the
bottom of the Interior Cabinet. Slide the Beer Keg slowly, ensuring
that it is properly located (Fig. 5) and carefully close the door.

HOW TO OPERATE
Follow the steps below to dispense beer.
1. Make sure that the DOUBLE KEGORATOR™ is plugged in properly
to a 120V, 60Hz, 15 Amps grounded AC outlet.
2. Place the Drip Tray under the Beer Faucet to avoid messes from excess beer.
3. Open the Beer Faucet by pulling the tap towards you to dispense the beer. If for any reason
the beer does not come out of the tap, please refer to the Tapping the Beer Keg section.
4. Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly (see Regulator section).
5. Hold the glass steady at a 45° angle. When it is ²/ 3 full, straighten the
glass. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head and the collar
on an average glass should be ¾” to 1” high, ideally.

HELPFUL TIPS
• It is recommended that you ush the hoses with water prior to
rst use to remove any dust and debris from shipping.
• Only open the
to adjust to desired pour. If it is not enough, continue to open the
by ¼ turn and use Double Regulator until desired setting is reached.
• It is normal to see condensation form on the Beer Faucet. It is caused
by the dierence in temperature between the cold beer and the inside
of the Beer Faucet when beer is owing through the line.
• If your
to use a bungee cord to secure
• Humidity can cause ice to build up inside the DOUBLE KEGORATOR™, so
you will need to periodically defrost it. There is a hole in the back of the
unit that will allow water to drain out of the DOUBLE KEGORATOR
Foamy Beer
Below are tips for preventing foamy beer.
• Conrm the packing spring in the Coupler is removed and discarded. It
is not to be placed inside the Coupler when unit is assembled.
• Make sure there is only (1) Backow Stopper inserted and it falls out easily if
the Coupler is ipped over. If you have to force it out with a screwdriver, it is
getting lodged in the Coupler. Try exchanging it with the replacement.
• Conrm the beer lines are not kinked and are clean.
To prevent foamy beer, you may need to bring down your pressure,
even if it is below the recommended 8-12 PSI:
• Before lowering the pressure, close the CO2 Shut O Valve (turn to 9 o’clock
position) and use the provided 1.5mm Allen Wrench to loosen the Allen Screw on
the red +/- adjustment dial. This will restrict excess CO2 from entering the keg.
• Adjust the pressure down to 6 PSI. Lock the red +/- dial back
in place by tightening with the Allen Wrench.
• Pull the Release Valve on the Regulator to get an accurate reading of CO2 pressure.
• With the Shut O Valve still closed, move down to your Coupler.
• Pull the release valve on the Coupler to remove any excess CO2 that
may have been pushed into the keg at another point.
• Once most or all has released, open the Shut O Valve (6 o’clock position) and attempt to pour
a beer.
This should prevent and/or correct foamy beer.
• Keep in mind that jostling a keg can create foamy beer.
• Temperature also may aect the beer, so be sure it is not too warm
or too cold. 37 degrees F is an ideal temperature.
• A faulty valve on the keg itself may cause the Coupler to not seat well. Make sure all
connections are secure and tightened (not just tightened by hand). Ensure all O-rings and
Washers are intact and correctly placed. Conrm Directional Washer (#4) has a hole in it when
pinched between the ngers.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Follow the steps below to clean the Beer Tap and Hoses. (see illustration)
1. Turn o CO2 completely before
attempting to clean.
2. Remove the hose from the Keg
ENGLISH
Coupler and carefully twist the
dispenser faucet o the top of
the DOUBLE KEGORATOR™.
3. Ensure that the dispenser handle
is in the down position before
ushing the hose. If this is not
set correctly, water cannot ow
through. Hold the open end of the
hose under running water for 3-5
minutes, while the Beer Dispenser
Faucet drains into the sink. This will clear any excess beer that is trapped inside,
helping to prevent any bacteria or mold that could accumulate inside.
4. In order to clean and remove any excess beer that may leak into the unit space inside
the door, remove the black rubber insulation and wipe with a wet towel as needed.
Follow the guidelines below to care for your DOUBLE KEGORATOR™ when not in use.
• Please adjust the temperature gauge to MIN in colder environments
because this unit does not self-defrost and ice may build up inside the
unit. The temperature gauge is located on the back side of the DOUBLE
KEGORATOR™ inside the cut out area at the bottom to the lower left.
• Always rinse the beer line if you do not intend to use your DOUBLE KEGORATOR™
for a period of time. First, turn o the CO2 and dispense beer until it stops. This will
release pressure in the Beer Keg so that the Keg Coupler can safely be detached.
• To avoid permanent damage to the unit, never use sharp objects inside the DOUBLE
KEGORATOR™.
