Be sure CO2 cylinder outlet fitting is free of dust
or dirt before attaching regulator.
■
Store CO2 cylinder and regulator assembly
upright.
■
Allow only properly trained and experienced
personnel to handle high pressure gas.
NEVER...
■
Connect cylinder directly to a keg without a
regulator (reducing valve).
■
Drop or throw regulator or CO2 cylinder.
■
2
Transport CO2 cylinder in a closed vehicle.
■
Apply oil to a regulator.
■
Shut off CO2 cylinder when not in use. You will
not save gas by doing so!
■
Allow untrained, inexperienced personnel to
handle high pressure gas.
Failure to heed this warning could result in
personal injury or death.
WARNING/SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Beverage systems pressurized with carbon dioxide or
nitrogen must be equipped
with two safety relief

Draft Beer Information – Concessionaire Dispensers
Temperature
One of the most common causes of dispensing
problems is improper temperature. Draft beer
should be stored at a temperature between 32° and
38°. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam.
Refrigeration and Temperature Control
The Direct Draw Dispenser is equipped with a
heavy-duty refrigeration system designed to
automatically maintain a storage temperature of
36-41 degrees F. The control is factory set at 38
degrees F.
At temperatures lower than 30° F., beer will freeze.
When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may
separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an
“off” taste.
Adjusting the temperature
The temperature control is inside the cabinet on
the right-hand side of the evaporator fan panel
assembly. You will need a screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw. Make small adjustments until the
desired temperature is achieved.
■
Colder Temperatures:
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to the right).
■
Warmer Temperatures:
Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise
(to the left).
The condenser fan motor turns off and on with the
condensing unit. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously. The fan motors are lifetime lubricated
and will require no oiling.
NOTE:
Cabinet Temperatures lower than 34° will not allow
for proper defrosting of the evaporator coil. If
defrosting is necessary, turn the control knob to the
OFF position until coil is defrosted.

Cleaning the Beer System – Concessionaire Dispensers
The entire beer system, to include the faucet, flexible
beer line and tapping devices must be cleaned at
regular intervals. We recommend flushing the entire
system with fresh water immediately after a keg has
been emptied. Once each month the system should
be cleaned chemically.
It is recommended that you purchase Perlick’s
Pump Type Sterilizer, as shown below. It is
equipped with an adapter that attaches directly to
the faucet shank in lieu of the faucet. It is also
available with a slip coupling for those who choose
to clean their faucets in place.

887PSC

1

1

Cleaning the draft beer system
will help to eliminate the build-up
of the following materials:
■
Bacteria:
Beer is an excellent food for
bacteria (none of which is
harmful). Proper conditions
may begin the growth of
bacteria in draft beer and on
the beer faucet. By regular
cleaning, we prevent this
bacterial buildup and
No. 887P
maintain the quality of the
draft beer. Greenish or yellowish colored material on the faucet may indicate
bacterial growth.
■
Yeast:
All domestic draft beers contain a small amount
of yeast which remains in the beer from the
fermentation process. When the temperature of
draft beer exceeds 50° a process of secondary
fermentation may take place. The beer faucet
may exhibit a white colored substance (yeast
build up) if not cleaned on a regular basis.
■
Beer Stone:
All beer contains calcium which is present from
the grains used in the brewing process. it is an
important natural material in draft systems in
that as it oxidizes it coats the internal parts of
the beer lines and equipment. This thin coat of
beer stone helps prevent the beer from picking
up strong metallic or plastic flavors as it flows
through the system. The beer stone will
continue to build if the system is not cleaned
properly or regularly and can cause drawing
problems if it begins to flake off. Beer stone is
present if one can see a brownish color on the
faucet or inner wall of the beer line, or tobaccolike flakes in the beer.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Use a mild detergent and water to clean the inside
and outside of the cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Never
use a scouring pad or abrasive cleanser.
NOTE: An industrial strength, commercial cleaner
can be used to clean the outside of painted
cabinets.
Cleaning the Condenser
Use a long handled, stiff brush to clean the dirt from
the front surface of the condenser. Keeping the
condenser free from dust and dirt will ensure efficient operation.
CAUTION: Do not bend the fins while brushing the
front of the condenser.

Pouring a Perfect Glass of Beer – Concessionaire Dispensers
➠
STEP 1
Start with a clean glass.
Place the glass at a
45° angle, one inch
below faucet. Do not
let the glass touch the
faucet. Open the faucet
all the way.
STEP 2
After the glass has
reached half full,
gradually bring the
glass to the upright
➠
STEP 3
Let the remaining beer
run straight down the
middle of the glass.
This ensures proper
release of CO
producing a 3⁄4” to 1”
foam head.
