Allow three inches of space between the back and sides of the beer dispenser to allow proper air
•
circulation for the compressor to cool.
Keep the beer dispenser away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Direct sunlight may affect
•
the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit to preform poorly.
Keep the unit out of moist areas.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any
•
circumstances, cut or remove the third prong from the power cord.
After plugging in the unit, allow it to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing any contents in the
