• Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. The
interior should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any
dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap
and water are rarely needed.
• All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner
designed for this material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers,
or powders! Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape stainless
steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
General Tips & Suggestions
• After making a temperature change, allow 24 hours for your unit to reach a new temperature
setting.
• The motor will stop and start often. It must do this to maintain the temperature you select.
• Unplug the appliance before working on anything with the electrical system.
• Exercise caution when sweeping, vaccuming or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage
to the grill can occur.
• For all cleaning, mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart warm water or use mild, soapy,
water solution. Do not use strong cleaners or scouring powder or pads.
• Keep your appliance out of direct sunlight.
• Do not splash or spray water on or under the unit.
• Clean your appliance’s condenser periodically to maintain proper cooling performance.
Drawing the Perfect Glass of Beer
Start with a clean beer glass that has been
wetted in cold water. Place the glass at a 45°
angle, one inch below the faucet. DO NOT let
the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet all
the way.
After the glass has reached half full, gradually
bring the glass to an upright position.
Operating Instructions
SETTING THE CONTROL
NOTE: The control is factory set for the ideal draft beer temperature - 38°F (3.3°C).
(Temperature setting may need adjustments depending on ambient temperature.)
Initially set the cold control knob midway between the numbers. Allow at least 48 hours for the
unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the initial temperature setting. The higher the
number, the cooler the temperature.
The temperature control knob is located at the bottom front of the cabinet, just behind the
square opening near the middle of the grill.
Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold - preferably around 38°F (3.3°C).
Temperatures above 45°F (7.2°C) may cause the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy.
Draft beer should be consumed within 30 days, as it is not pasteurized and loses its original
brewery fresh taste and aroma the older it gets.
16
Let the remaining beer run straight down the
middle. This insures proper release of
producing a 3/4” to 1” foam head.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Condenser
The condenser underneath the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory
cooling depends on adequate ventilation over this heat exchanger. It is recommended to annually
clean the condenser by vacuuming and brushing. To access the condenser, the unit must be
pulled out from the installation and the lower machine compartment access cover removed.
WARNING
Disconnect the power cord before removing the access cover.
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once
or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear
water. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders.
Interior and Door Gaskets
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart
warm water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air
duct or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are not obstructed. Keep toe grille
vents clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances.)
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are
placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12
hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set-point temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run-time than an
empty compartment.
7. Assure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that meets your personal preference and
provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door products, (light stays on with door
closed).
12. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest
acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
13. Set the control to the “OFF” position if cleaning the unit requires the door to be open for an
extended period of time.
14. Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located in machine compartment underneath
unit, (see Cleaning and Maintenance section).
