Operating Your Kegerator
Temperature Control:
Your appliance’s evaporator system is out of sight behind the interior rear
wall.
The interior temperature is controlled with a thermostat knob located
inside the unit, towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob
clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers for
colder temperatures. Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean
lower temperatures (colder) in the kegerator.
On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside the cabinet may drop below 32°F.
Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. When the ambient
temperature is normal, we recommend a medium setting.
Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the refrigerator so choose
an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on ambient conditions.
In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off),
yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light still works).
The temperature inside the kegerator also depends on how often you open the door.
NOTES:
1. Interior lighting is controlled by a manually-operated rocker switch. To maintain the proper
interior temperature, keep the light on only as long as necessary.
2. If the kegerator is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
Defrosting:
This appliance operates with an automatic defrost system, so it defrosts itself. While the
compressor is operating, ice will build along the rear cold wall (the evaporator plate is behind
the wall). During the compressor’s off-cycle, ice will melt, drip down, collect in the trough at the
bottom and drain through a small hole into a tray above the compressor; where the
compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall,
try setting the thermostat to a slightly warmer setting; be sure that the door gasket is sealing
well and that there is no obstruction of the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.
