To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury when using this appliance, follow these basic precautions:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply.

3.Immediately replace worn power cords, loose plugs and faulty power outlets.

4.Do not operate your appliance in the presence of explosive fumes.

5.Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning or repairing it. Only a qualified technician should repair it.

6.Never stand on top of or inside this appliance, or swing on the door. Avoid putting weight on top of the appliance.

7.To reduce likelihood of injury, do not let children play with this appliance.

8.Do not operate the valve control unless the cylinder is completely installed and connected.

9.Do not attempt to repair or replace any part unless this is recommended in this

Use and Care Guide. Leave other service matters to qualified technical personnel.

10.Keep packing materials away from children as they could become a choking hazard.

11.Do not spray or flush the beer dispenser with water, and avoid keeping it in a damp place since this could damage the electrical insulation.

DANGER! Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit at the curb for a few days."

Before discarding your old appliance:

•Take off the door.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

•This appliance is CFCand HFC-free and contains small quantities of

Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

-Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

-Disconnect from the electrical power line,

2

-Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and

-Contact the Service Department for advice.

•The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

•Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

•Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REGARDING ELECTRICAL MATTERS

1.Do not pull on the power cord when unplugging the machine. Grasp the plug firmly and pull it straight out of the socket. Do not pull the plug with wet hands.

2.Keep the power cord at the back of the appliance to avoid tripping accidents or damage to the cord.

3.If the power cord is damaged or frayed, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional.

4.Use only a standard three-hole grounded power socket rated above 10A. The socket should not be shared with other appliances.

5.Be sure the plug fits firmly into the socket and that the socket is grounded.

6.The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended.

7.The beer dispenser requires an AC power supply of 110~120V/60Hz and pulls a current of over 10A. The fuse or circuit breaker should be rated at 15A.

8.If the leakage of a combustible gas is detected, turn off the gas valve and open the doors and windows. To reduce the risk of fire caused by a spark, do not pull out the plug of the beer dispenser or of any other electrical device.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REGARDING CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE) GAS

Always connect the CO2 cylinder to a regulator! Failure to do so may cause an explosion resulting in possible injury or death when the cylinder valve is opened.

Never connect the CO2 cylinder directly to the product container.

Always keep CO2 cylinders away from heat. Store extra cylinders in a cool place (preferably below 70°F). Securely fasten cylinders with a chain in an upright position when storing.

Never drop or throw a CO2 cylinder.

Always check the D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) test date on the cylinder neck before installation. If it has been more than 5 years, do not use.

Return the cylinder to your gas supplier.

3

Never connect a product container unless there are at least two safety devices in the pressure system: one on the CO2 regulator and the other on the product container or in the pressurized gas line.

The recommended pressure for the CO2 system is 8-10 lbs.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Tips to save energy and maintain optimum performance:

When positioning this unit: If used freestanding, allow 4 inches of clearance on top, at the sides and in the rear for sufficient airflow.

Do not use under a bar or counter.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

The SBC635M is designed for dispensing beer only, and is not recommended for storing perishable foods such as meats or dairy products.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for 2 to 3 hours. This allows the refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and reduces the risk of malfunctions in the cooling system caused by shipping.

Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. (See Maintenance of the

Beer Dispenser.) Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. Do not cut or remove the grounding plug!

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.

If possible, disconnect the power before changing a keg of beer. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

Periodically, check that the beer dispenser seals well and that none of the contents prevent the door from closing.

PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

Choosing the Right Place

To ensure that your beer dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, install it in a location where there are proper air circulation and electrical connections.

Choose a location where the beer dispenser will be away from any heat sources and will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Remove all packing materials before using the beer dispenser.

Place the machine on a smooth, flat and sturdy surface.

Installation

Your appliance is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you allow at least 4” of clearance at the sides, rear and top to allow for adequate airflow.

Applications

The SBC635M beer dispenser meets UL Standard 250 and is suitable for residential use.

Connecting to Power Supply

Connect this appliance to a 3-prong power supply socket (which has a ground terminal). If you only have a two-prong outlet, have it replaced by a qualified technician with an outlet that meets the local codes.

 DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD 

Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage

fluctuations with a tolerance of ±10%.

Once connected, allow the appliance to operate empty for two to three hours before putting a beer keg inside.
