Make sure that the access hole in the refrigerated cabinet is in
line with the counter top holes. Remove any obstructions from
the access hole of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Wash tapping devices thoroughly. Flush
beer and faucet lines, as well as the tapping device
(keg coupler) with fresh water.

the barbed ttings on the manifold and clamp. On the left
rear side wall of the beer compartment there is a double row
of screws which run vertically. Remove one of the two top
screws and discard. Insert the sheet metal screw through the
manifold and into the hole vacated previously.

Remove the left screw. Locate the safety chain and a #10 x
1/2” sheet metal screw from the parts bag. Insert the screw
through the closed end link of the chain and tighten in the

Make sure that the valve at the bottom of the regulator
where the red hose is connected is in the o position as
shown. Watching the secondary pressure gauge, turn the
regulator adjusting knob clockwise until the pressure is at
