Page 16

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using Proper Draw

Technique

1. Rinse a “Beer Clean” glass under cold water.

2. Place glass beneath tap, and tilt at a 45

angle. (as

shown in Fig. 13) Leaving approximately 1/4” between glass and faucet.

3. Fully draw the dispenser handle and fill the glass to 2/3

full. (as shown in Fig. 14).

4. Level the glass and finish topping off by continuing the

pour in the center of the glass. (as shown in Fig. 15)

5. Make sure the handle is fully returned to it’s previous

‘off’ position when the draw is complete.

Using the proper draw technique to dispense beer should allow you to fill an 8 oz glass leaving approxi mately 3/4”- 1” of ‘foam’.

Fig. 13

Fig. 14

Fig. 15

DO NOT.....

Correct Draw

Incorrect Draw

Fig. 16

• Begin the draw with the glass in an upright position.

• Use frosted glassware, as the difference in temperature between a frozen glass and the beer in the keg can cause a ‘wild’ draw (too much foam).

• Partially (or slowly) draw the

dispenser handle, this will lead to unnecessary turbulence in the

dispenser faucet as the beer travels through it, causing a

substantial amount of foam in the glass.

Page 17

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...

Regular cleaning and maintenance is a key factor in safe guarding the longevity of the keg, the quality of the dispensed beer as well as trouble free day to day operation of

your Keg Cooler.

...of the Keg Cooler

• There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice

depositing on the evaporator is defrosted automatically. Ice build-up on the evaporator during compressor operation; will (when the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically. Defrost water collects inside the drain trough and passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor, where it evaporates.

• Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning and/or

servicing the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as they can damage the control panel and/or painted surfaces. Clean the exterior cabinet with warm water and a mild detergent. Clean the interior with warm water and a mild detergent, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply.

• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of

time, disconnect the power cord. Clean the appliance and leave the door slightly open to reduce mold/mildew from accumulating inside the cabinet.

Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized build up which forms on the fittings, lines and taps commonly referred to as “beerstore”. If the “beerstore” is not completely removed in a cleaning process it will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms which will cause an undesirable flavor and/or cause the beer to go flat. Sufficient “beerstore” will also lead to dispense problems ranging from ‘wild’ beer (too much foam) to flat beer, regardless of the carbonation levels or quality (age) of the beer in the keg.

Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of “beerstore" protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals. The dispenser (beer) line should be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other keg which ever comes first. The dispenser faucet should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to every use if not used on a regular basis. Note: If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually indicative that it may require cleaning. *

DO NOT

apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will

likely lead to damaging the handle and/or faucet, and will not be covered by your warranty.

A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings. Line cleaning kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department. For more information please call 1-800 26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629)

... of the Dispense System

Page 18

... of the “Beer Clean” Glassware

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...

• Maintain strict sanitary conditions in the glass washing

area.

• Never wash glassware with utensils or dishes used to

serve food. Food particles and/or residue can effect the quality/taste of draught beer.

• Regular dish detergents are fat-based and will leave a

slight oily film on the glass, which will cause the beer to go flat quickly. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use a detergent that is designed specifically for beer glass cleaning which is odor-free and non-fat based, instead of regular liquid detergents.

• Avoid drying glassware with towels as they tend to leave

traces of lint on the surface of the glass.

• We recommend that you use beer glassware only for

beer.

Dairy and other food products leave a residue which can effect the quality/taste of the draught.

... of the CO

Pressure

• Periodically monitor the pressure regulators to ensure applied

operating pressures remain constant. (10~12psi/lbs)

• Always keep equipment in good repair.

... of the Beer Keg

• Draught Beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated

cabinet.

• Draught Beer products have a shelf life, which on "average"

is 30 days after the keg is tapped. By keeping the beer keg pressurized, (with CO2) and with proper maintenance of the

dispense system, the shelf life can be extended to approximatly 60 days (or more).

• Beer Kegs should be stored (refrigerated) separately from

other food products.

Draught Beer should be treated as a food product.

It is very important that you store and handle it properly.

Page 19

Problem Possible Causes What T o D o

Excess formation of foam ‘head’.

Flat Draft, no formation of foam.

No beer flow from dispenser

Recent keg agitation

Improper regulator setting

Internal temperature of keg cooler (or beer keg) too warm.

Pressure build up

Improper draw technique

Improper regulator setting.

Glassware is not “Beer clean”

Elongated dispensing hose.

Low/Empty CO

cylinder.

Closed CO

valve and/or

shut-off valve.

Empty CO

cylinder.

Empty beer keg.

Line or dispenser obstructions.

Improper connection(s)

If the keg has recently been moved (transported), you should let it stand for a minimum of two (2) hours before tapping.

Verify that the ‘LOW’ side (CO

) pressure is reading

between 10 ~ 12 p.s.i.

Ensure that the keg cooler is operating within 36 - 40

F (2-4º C). If the beer keg has been exposed to a warm environment for an extended period, give it sufficient time to cool before attempting a pour.

Activate the pressure relief valve that is located on the keg coupler for 3 seconds.

see “Using Proper Draw Technique” on pg. 16.

Verify that the ‘LOW’ side (CO

) pressure is reading

between 10 ~ 12 p.s.i.

Residue on glassware in the form of oils will quickly dissolve the formation of foam. (see “Beer Clean Glassware” on pg. 18)

All recommended temperatures and gauge settings are calculated for a dispensing hose five (5) feet in length.

Check that ‘HIGH’ pressure gauge is not reading “0” p.s.i. Refill if necessary.

Ensure that both the CO

cylinder and regulator shut-

off valve are open.

Check that ‘HIGH’ pressure gauge is not reading “0” p.s.i. Refill if necessary.

Replace beer keg.

Verify that there are no ‘kinks’ or obstructions in either the air line (red) or dispenser line (clear) and that neither are frozen.

Ensure all connections are secure and all seals are in place and in good condition.
