cylinder, make sure the "secondary" shut-off valve located on the lower stem pipe of the regulator is in the "closed" position. See Fig. 8 NOTE: When the secondary valve (handle) is posi-
tioned "Horizontal" (east/west) the valve is closed. When the secondary valve (handle) is positioned "Vertical" (north/south) the valve is open.To open the main CO2cylinder valve, slowly turn the main valve counter clockwise until fully open.You will notice the needles on both gauges start to climb.
15. Adjusting the CO2Regulator: There are two
pressure gauges on the CO2regulator. See Fig. 9: The upper gauge #1 monitors "LOW" (internal keg) pressure and must be adjusted to the correct operating pressure of 10~12psi/lbs.The lower gauge #2 monitors "HIGH" (CO2cylinder) pressure and is not adjustable.The high pressure gauge also acts as a fuel gauge to let you know when the C02cylinder needs re-filling.
IMPORTANT: The internal operating pressure of the
beer keg should be adjusted and maintained between 10 ~ 12psi/lbs. To adjust the "low" pressure gauge;
• Using an adjustable wrench, release the adjustment lock nut # 3. See Fig. 9
• Using a flat screwdriver, turn the regulator adjustment screw (# 4 in Fig. 9): A clockwise rotation of the regulator adjustment screw will increase low pressure, a counter clockwise rotation of the adjustment regulator adjustment screw will decrease low pressure
• When the required operating pressure is attained retighten the adjustment lock nut # 3.
• You are now ready to serve cold beer

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
o
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. 15
DO NOT.....
Correct Draw
Incorrect Draw
Fig. 16
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.

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)

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
2
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.
