UNCRATING AND INSPECTING

Remove all crating material before operating. Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is discovered, le your claim immediately with the transportation company. Perlick is not responsible for damage in transit.

PLACING THE CABINET

Push the cabinet into place using rollers when necessary. Important: Proper air flow around the condensing unit is necessary for efficient operation. Never obstruct the air flow in and out of the condesning unit.

LEVELING THE CABINET

INSTALLING THE FAUCET & DISPENSING HEAD

Before you begin: Wash tapping devices and faucet. Flush beer, tapping device and faucet lines with fresh water.

■ Apply RTV around the base of the dispensing head to seal it to the top. Align the dispensing head over the holes on the cabinet top and use screws provided to secure standard to cabinet top. Wipe off excess RTV to complete the seal.

■ Attach faucet to standard using spanner wrench to tighten coupling. Attach faucet handle to faucet.

■ Insert flexible plastic air hose six to seven inches into bottom of faucet standard.

■ Secure hose with tie wrap (supplied).

PLUMBING

The floor drain in the right rear corner is equipped with a 3/4” female pipe thread connection with side of bottom access for beer drainer waste.

■ Remove either side or bottom drain plug with an allen wrench and attach a 3/4” male pipe (provided by plumber) to an external drain connection.

Evaporator condensate has been plumbed to a condensate pan located in the compressor housing.

When the cabinet is in place, check installation with carpenter’s level. When level front to back and left to right, accumulated water will drain out of the cabinet evaporator drain.

INSTALLING CASTERS OR LEGS

Attach casters or legs to cabinet bottom in holes provided. Use the supplied 1/4”-20 x 3/4” hex head self-tapping machine screws.

ADJUSTING THE CO2 GAS FLOW

■ Turn regulator adjusting screw counterclockwise until it turns freely.

■ Turn hand valve counterclockwise on CO2 cylinder to the fully open position.

■ Turn regulator adjusting screw clockwise until desired pressure is reached (approximately 12-15 lbs.). Tighten stop nut on adjusting screw.

■ Open shut-off valve on bottom of regulator.

CO2 LEAK TEST

Dilute a small amount of liquid dishwashing soap and rub the soapy mixture around each connection. If bubbles appear, tighen connection.

REPLACING THE CO2 GAS CYLINDER

■ Turn the CO2 hand valve clockwise until seated

and close shut-o valve on regulator.

■ Unscrew regulator from cylinder tting.

■ Replace carbonic washer (Part No. 157F2P), if

needed and reattach regulator to lled cylinder.

■ Turn CO2 hand valve counterclockwise until

fully open. Turn regulator shut-o valve to open position.

■ Adjust CO2 gas ow as required, turning

clockwise for higher pressue.

PROPER CO2 HANDLING

ALWAYS...

■ Connect a regulator (reducing valve) to CO cylinder.

■ Secure cylinder in upright position whether in storage or in use.

■ Keep cylinder away from heat. Rupture disc vents at 122° F maximum.

■ Ventilate room after high pressure gas leakage.

■ Check the last DOT test date on cylinder neck before lling. If more than ve years old, the cylinder must be retested to DOT specications.

■ Be sure CO2 cylinder outlet tting 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.

DRAFT BEER INFORMATION

Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained

TEMPERATURE

One of the most common causees of dispensing problems is improper temperature. Draft beer should be stored at a temperature between 32°F and 38°F. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam.

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 “o” taste.

HOW TEMPERATURE DRAFT AFFECTS BEER

Freezes

28° 30° 32° 34° 36° 38° 40°

REFRIGERATOR 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°F. The control is factory set at 38°F.

Ideal

Foams

42°

44°

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 screw driver 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 CABINET

Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained

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 Cleaning Kit (part #63798). It is equipped with an adapter that attaches directly to the faucet shank, jar with pump, cleaning solution, faucet brush and spanner wrench.

Cleaning the draft beer system will help to eliminate the buildup 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 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°F, 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 avors as it ows 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 ake off. Beer stone is present if one can see a brownish color on the faucet or inner wall of the beer line, or tobacco-like akes 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 condesner. Keeping the condenser free from dust and dirt will ensure efcient operation.

CAUTION: Do not bend the fins while brushing the front of the condenser!

POURING A PERFECT GLASS OF BEER

Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained

STEP ONE

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 TWO

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 THREE

Let the remaining beer run straight down the middle of the glass. This ensures proper release of CO2 by producing a 3/4” to 1” foam head.

STEP FOUR

Close the faucet quickly and completely.

2 pressure is too low (due to lack of

■ CO pressure setting)

■ CO2 is turned off at night

■ Cooler is too cold

■ CO2 leak or defective (sticking) check valve

■ Sluggish CO2 regulator

CLOUDY BEER

Beer in glass appears hazy, not clear

■ Beer foam is 25% liquid beer and 75% CO2 gas, don’t waste it!

■ Most people prefer their beer stored at 38°F.

■ Beer lines and faucets require regular cleaning (see cleaning instructions on page 7).

■ A fully-charged 4.2 lb. CO2 cylinder will dispense approximately 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 half barrels.

■ CO2 gas gives beer its sparkling effervescence. It also gives beer its creamy head of foam.
