Connect to
Wine Keg
INSTALLING KEG TAP ON SINGLE BARREL TYPE KEG
This wine dispenser's coupler is compatible only with a single 1/6 barrel keg, although a second
untapped keg can be stored behind the tapped keg to keep it cold. Each 1/6 barrel keg holds
approximately 5 gallons of wine.
To tap a keg:
1. First be sure that the black dispenser handle of the keg coupler is
closed (pushed up, see Fig. 1 below). Also, make sure the tower
dispenser (on top of wine dispenser) handle is closed before
proceeding with tap-to-keg connection.
2. Insert the keg coupler mechanism into the top of the keg neck
and perform a quarter-turn clockwise to lock the coupler and keg
together (Fig. 2).
3. Before proceeding, make sure that you insert a black rubber
washer into the wing nut connector for the wine line (see page
7, bottom photo) before connecting the line to the tap. Take
off the black protective cap from the tap and screw the wing
nut with the washer to a firm finger-tightness.
4. Insert the end of the gas line with the silver coupler to the gas
connection on the tap. Make sure the coupler connection is
secure. Next, secure the connection between the wine line
and tap with pliers (Fig. 3 and Photo 2, previous page). Make
sure there are no leaks.
5. To finalize the connection, pull the black tap handle out and push down until it clicks securely.
There will be an audible click, signaling that the gas and wine connections have been opened
and that your keg is tapped (Fig. 4). Now you may open the regulator valve (top right photo)
and open the valve on the gas tank itself as well. Set the regulator to read 5-7 psi by turning
the regulator handle (bottom photo, right) clockwise.
6. Carefully tilt the keg onto the lip of the cabinet (using the keg support shown in Fig. 5) and
position slowly into the cabinet body until the door can close. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not
jostle or bang keg on gas canister.
Note: The left regulator gauge indi cates total tank pressure.

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
USING YOUR WINE KEG DISPENSER
1. First be sure that you are connected safely to the proper power supply: a 120V, 60Hz, 15 Amp
grounded AC outlet. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However if one must
be used, the cord should be rated for AT LEAST 1875 Watts and a No. 14 AWG minimum
size.
2. Slide the drip tray beneath the spigot to catch excess wine, then pull the tower handle toward
you to open the tap and dispense wine. Condensation on the tap or spigot is normal.
NOTE: If wine does not dispense, check previous sections on regulator hookup and tapping
the keg.
3. If your wine is running too slowly, adjust the pressure on the regulator judiciously. Normal
operating pressure is 5-7 psi. DO NOT EXCEED 12 PSI.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Inside the unit is a digital thermostat. The optimal temperature for storing wine is about 55°F, but
you can set your desired storage temperature. (White wines are generally served at
approximately 45°F while reds can be served from 55°F.)
The thermostat normally displays the interior temperature of
the unit. If you wish to change the temperature setting of
your wine dispenser, refer to the f ol lo wing ins truc t ions . T he f ront
panel of the thermostat is illustrated here:
To see the SET POINT:
Push and immediatel y release the SET key. The display will sho w the SET POINT value. Wait 5
seconds and the interior temperature of the wine dispenser will display again.
To change the SET POINT:
Push and hold the SET key for m ore than 3 sec onds to change t he set point val ue. The value of
the set point will be displayed.
To change the SET value:
Push the UP or DOW N arrow to the d esired setting. The new setting will be mem orized after 15
seconds, provided no other keys are pushed.
DEFROSTING
Your unit should never require defrosting, but if you notice an ice buildup, try raising the set
temperature slightl y. If there is still a problem with ice, disconnect the un it from power and l eave
the door open until the ice melts. Wipe up the melt water and be sure the interior is dr y, then
reconnect power. If the problem of icing persists, notify the SUMMIT’s Customer Service at
800-932-4267.
STORING YOUR WINE KEG DISPENSER
1. If you do not expect to use your wine dispenser for an extended period of time, rinse the wine
line to prevent mold or bacterial buildup which could cause illness.
2. Never use sharp objects in your wine keg dispenser. If you are storing your machine, be sure
to prevent children from playing in or around the unit.
DANGER! Children can become trapped in an unsecured and unsupervised environment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Detach wine line
Flush hose with water
To clean the lines and tap, first:
1. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY (N2/CO2 mix).
2. Next, wipe the outside of the machine, clean drip
tray and around guardrail. Clean the inside of
the cabinet by wiping with a damp cloth. Clean
gasket on door to help eliminate trapped, spilled
wine which could produce mold and mildew.
3. Disconnect the wine hose from the tap coupler
and twist dispenser faucet carefully off the top of
the wine keg dispenser.
4. Set the dispenser handle to the open or down
position before flushing, then position the faucet
over a sink and hold the wine line under running
water for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the
water to flush out the faucet head. This will also
help eliminate trapped, spilled wine which could
produce mold and mildew.
5. Reconnect wine line and dispenser faucet when
done or leave disconnected if you plan to store
for a long period.
NOTE: At least every three months, or when the wine is changed or replaced, the wine line and
dispensing accessories should be cleaned thoroughly using special wine line cleaners. These
cleaners are available in both alkaline and acidic formulations, and the use of these should be
alternated. Follow instructions on the packaging.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Many problems can be resolved without the need for a service call. See the
following list for a reference to potential solutions of common problems.
PROBLEMS WITH THE WINE KEG DISPENSER
PROBLEM
: The appliance is not operating.
• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Replace the fuse or
•
reset the circuit.
• Is the digital thermostat set incorrectly? See Temperature Control section on page 9.
PROBLEM
: The motor is constantly running, or running too much.
• Is it warmer than usual where the wine keg dispenser is located? At normal
temperatures, the motor will typically run between 40% and 80% of the time. The motor
will run even longer when the unit is in an unusually warm environment.
Has a new wine keg been put into the unit? The motor will run longer while the keg is
•
cooling down.
• Is the door frequently opened? Warm air entering the appliance causes the motor to run
longer. Keep the door closed as much as possible.
• Is the thermostat set correctly? See Temperature Control on page 9.
• Is the door completely closed? Push the door firmly shut.
• Are the air vents clogged? This prevents proper air transfer and causes the motor to
work harder. Clean the air vents.
PROBLEM
: The wine keg dispenser temperature is too warm.
• Have you just added a new keg to the unit? This will warm the interior of the unit until
the unit is able to cool down to the correct temperature.
•
Is the control set correctly? See Temperature Control on page 9.
PROBLEM
: There is excessive moisture inside the wine keg dispenser.
• Is the door opened frequently? If so, humidity from the room will enter the unit and
cause moisture to build up. This will happen even more if the air in the room is very
humid.
PROBLEM
: The door is hard to open
• Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the surfaces that it touches. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gasket after cleaning
PROBLEM
: The taste of the wine is “off”.
