MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
There is usually no need to defrost the beer dispenser because the ice deposited on the
inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during
compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts
and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated
above the compressor where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of
the unit, check that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of
flexible wire. During extremely hot and humid weather, some ice may build up. If
necessary, remove contents of the beer dispenser, turn the thermostat to 0 and allow
defrosting. A hair dryer may facilitate the process.
Automatic Defrosting of the Beer Dispenser
Read and understand the following instructions before installing the cleaning kit.
Installing the Cleaning Kit
1. Mix one gallon of warm water and one ounce (one tablespoon) of cleaner in a
bucket.
Note
2. Remove the cleaner cap. Fill the jar and replace the cap. Leave the remaining
solution in the bucket.
: Do not use lye, soap or hot water.
3. Turn off either the air cock on the regulator or the valve on the CO
2
tank.
4. Disconnect the tap from the barrel. Then disconnect the beer line from the tap by
turning the nut counter-clockwise. Place the tap and end of the hose in the bucket.
5. Remove the faucet from the tower with the wrench and attach the fitting on the
cleaning bottle in its place.
Note
6. Hold the cleaning jar upside down until the solution runs through the system into the
bucket.
: Make sure there is a washer in the back of the fitting.
7. Fill the jar with cold clean water and repeat the process until the water runs clean.
8. Rinse the tap in the bucket with cold water.
9. Remove the fitting from the tower and reinstall the faucet. Make sure the washer is
in the back of the faucet.
10. Re-attach the beer hose to the tap and attach the tap to the barrel.
Note
: Beer lines should be flushed after each keg is emptied.
