Preparing the Cabinet – Beer Dispensers

Uncrating and Inspection

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

Plumbing

No plumbing connections are required. Condensate
from the cooling coil is automatically evaporated
through a condensate pan located in the
condensing unit section.

Electrical

The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specification
Plate) and grounded in accordance with National
and Local Electrical Codes.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the equipment
on any other power source than that listed on the
Electrical Specification Plate.

Placing the Cabinet

To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be
allowed to circulate through the machinery
compartment. Do not place anything in front of the
cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles.
Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.

Cabinet should be leveled front to back and side
to side.

Installing Casters or Legs (optional)

Attach casters or legs to the mounting bracket with
the lockwashers and 1/4-20 hex head nuts provided.
Attach bracket and leg/caster assembly to the side of
the cabinet base using the 1/4-20 hex head self­tapping machine screws provided.

Anti-tip (without Legs or Casters)

To prevent the cabinet from tipping forward and
to provide a stable installation, the cabinet must be
secured in place with an anti-tip device.

A set of metal anti-tip brackets and installation screws
(#10-3/4" wood screw) are supplied. These brackets
should be attached to the floor, at the back of the
cabinet; each bracket located to catch each rear
leveling leg when the cabinet is pushed backward into
position.

THE ANTI-TIP BRACKETS MUST CATCH EACH OF
THE LEVELING LEGS TO HAVE A STABLE AND
SAFE INSTALLATION.

Some installation sites might need to be modified to
provide a secure surface for attaching the bracket.
Refer to the illustration below for anti-tip mounting
bracket locations.

Operation Instructions – Beer Dispensers

For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to seal
the base of the cabinet to the floor. This
can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant between the base of the cabinet and the floor
as shown by the figure below.

When sealing the cabinet to the floor, make sure that
the louvered front grill plate can still be removed for
condenser maintenence and cleaning

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.

Temperature Control

An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the cabinet on the evaporator fan panel assembly.
Approximate temperature operating range: 32° F.
minimum and 42° F. maximum. Make adjustments
as shown to attain the desired temperature.
 Colder Temperatures: Turn the adjusting

screw clockwise (to the right).

 Warmer Temperatures: Turn the adjusting

screw counterclockwise (to the left).

 Temperature Control “OFF”: Turn the adjusting

screw completely counterclockwise to the “O”
position until a click is noted.

The condenser fan and the evaporator fan motor turns
off and on with the compressor.

Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion

Corrosion can be prevented by following product
cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use of
certain chemicals or objects which will cause
stainless steel corrosion.

STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY
