OPERATINGYOUR BEVERAGE CENTER
,, Make sure that the beverage center is plugged in properly
to a 115V, 60Hz AC onty electrical outlet. Refer to
Electrical Information on page 3.
,, Make sure that the drip tray and sump are secured under
the faucet.
,, Start with a clean beverage glass that has been wetted in
cold water. Piace the gtass at a 45 ° angle, one inch below
the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the
faucet alI the way.
,, After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the
glass to an upright position.
,, Let the remaining beverage run straight down the middle.
This insures proper release of CO 2 by producing a 3A" to a
1" foam head.
,, Close the faucet completely and quickly.
HOWTO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO 2 CANISTER
" Remove hoses from routing clips.
,, Remove the keg, then remove CO 2canister=
,, Close the canister vaIve of the empty canister by turning
clockwise untii it stops=
,, Close the regulator shut-off valve by moving it to the 9
o'clock position.
,, Carefully remove regulator from the empty CO 2 canister by
loosening the nut with an adjustable wrench. Check the
condition of the gasket inside the nut and replace if
necessary.
,, Return canister to your local carbonic gas source for filling.
(We suggest looking in your yellow pages under
"Carbonic Gas". Sources of CO2vary from community to
community but it is often available at welding supply
stores and beverage distributors.)
,, Remove dust cap from new canister nut, if any.
,, With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the
regulator to the new canister using an adjustable wrench.
Ensure the plastic washer is inside of the nut. Tighten nut
until it feels snug but be careful not to over tighten as you
will damage the gasket inside the stem nut.
,, Check to make sure that the braided gas line hose is still
securely attached to the regulator.
,, Open the canister valve all the way by turning counter-
clockwise until it stops. This valve seals at both the fully
open and fully closed positions. Failure to completely open
or close the valve could result in premature loss of CO 2
pressure.
,, Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the
6 o'clock position.
,, Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator adjustment
screw as necessary until the pressure reads between 12
to 14 psi. Tighten the adjustment Iock nut.
,, Replace keg and route hose clips.

OPTIONAL CASTER KIT
If you'd like to make your beverage center so it can be rolled
from room to room, there is an optional caster kit available
from your authorized Frigidaire dealer or service center. Just
ask for part number 5304451343 - Caster, Rail and Hardware
Kit, which includes 2 fixed casters, 2 swivel casters, 2 caster
support rails and mounting hardware.
BEER STORAGETEMPERATURE
,, Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold,
preferably at 38°R Temperatures above 38°F may cause
the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy.
RECOMMENDED KEG HANDLING
,, Be sure the keg is cold when you purchase it.
,, Transfer keg from place of purchase and install in
beverage center in 2 hours or less.
,, After the keg is installed in the beverage center, allow 24
hours for beverage to reach recommended temperature.
,, If the keg is exposed to ambient temperatures longer than
2 hours, additional cooling time wilI be required before
beverage will reach recommended temperature.

TURNINGYOURiCE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water suppiy valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signai arm to its "down" or ON position. New plumbing
connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be
discarded until the cubes produced are free of discoloration
and odd flavor.
ICE MAKER TiPS
_, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the wife signal
arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then
produce more ice.
,, Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
_, Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until
the beverage center is connected to the water supply or
whenever the water supply is turned off.
_, The following sounds are normaI when the ice maker is
operating:
- Motor running
- Ice loosening from tray
, Ice dropping into ice container
, Running water
,, Water valve opening or closing
,, Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent.
Rinse well and dry.
TURNINGYOUR ICE
MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the
wire signal arm until it clicks
and locks in the "up" or OFF
position. The ice maker also
turns off automatically when
the ice container is full. If your
model has an adjustable
freezer shelf, place the shelf in
the lower position, so that the
wire signal arm will hit the ice
when the container is fu!!.
Signal A[rn
Maker
,, Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
_, If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time,
turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

UNDERSTANDINGTHE SOUNDSYOU MAY HEAR
A. Evaporator
Your new high-efficiency beverage center may make
unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will
become familiar to you. They also indicate your beverage B.
center is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl
or wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds
more noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the
most common sounds you may hear, and what is causing C.
them.
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.
Evaporator Fan
You may hear air being forced through the beverage
center by the evaporator fan.
Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
D. Automatic Ice Maker
If your beverage center is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you wiII hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer or Automatic
Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the beverage center on and off. The timer
also produces sounds simiiar to an electric clock.
F. Condenser Fan
If condenser coils are located underneath your beverage
center as shown in the drawing at the left, you have a
condenser fan. You may hear air being forced through the
condenser by the condenser fan.
G. Compressor
Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than eider models. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. WaterValve
If your beverage center is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve
opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.
L Drain Pan (Nonremovable)
You may hear water running into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle. The drain pan is located on top of the
compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils
on back of beverage center).
J. Condenser Coils (Fan-cooled models only)
May create minimal sounds from forced air.

Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
Clean stainless steel front and handles with non-abrasive soapy water and a
dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a soft cloth. Wipe stubborn spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel, and rinse. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner. These cleaners can be purchased at most home improvement or
major department stores. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Always clean, wipe and dry with the grain to prevent cross-grain
scratching. Wash the rest of the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well, and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
No need to clean unless operating beverage center under particularly dusty or
greasy conditions, or if there is significant pet traffic in your home. If cleaning
is necessary, remove toe grille and use extended vacuum attachment and
condenser cleaning brush to remove dust build-up from condenser coils (see
item "J" in illustration on page 16 for location).
