These appliances are CFC- and HFC-free and contain a small quantity of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of
the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
- Disconnect from the electrical power line,
- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
- Contact the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage,
if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of
coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on
the rating label. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or
repairs to this appliance.
Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant
tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to
minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

4 casters (“RS” series only)
1 leg shield (“RS” series only)
Various screws
Before Using Your Appliance:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Kegerator:
Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To
level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
Kegerators that begin “SBC58” or “SBC56” are designed for freestanding or built-in installation.
Kegerators that begin “SBC7RS” are designed for freestanding or recessed installation in a 24-inch
wide (minimum) opening. Please allow 2” clearance in the back and some airflow on the sides and
top of the units. Take care that the air vents at the front of the appliance are never covered or
blocked in any way.
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly
on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the interior.
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or authorized
service center.
9
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Electrical Connection:
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a
three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When
a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or
dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug
the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately any power cord that has become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord:
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
10
Reversing the Door Swing
Select models in the SBC58/SBC7BRS/SBC56G series have user-reversible doors. Holes on the
opposite side have already been prepared at the factory.
By default, the door hinge is on the right side. If you prefer it on the left, please follow the appropriate
instructions:
For SBC58/SBC7BRS models:
1. Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the screws that hold the top hinge.
2. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket at the top of the door.
3. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin.
4. Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.
5. Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the original side with
the decorative caps.

Adjusting the Tilt
If your beer cooler seems unsteady or you would like the door to close more easily, you can use the
leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the unit.
Be sure that the unit is in its final position when adjusting the tilt and that it is plugged into a
grounded 3-prong outlet.
WARNING:
Two or more people are required to move and/or install the refrigerator. Failure
to do so may cause back or other injury.
Turning a leveling leg to the right will lower the
appliance toward the position of the leg. Likewise,
turning to the left will raise the unit away from the
leg.
Several turns of the leveling legs may be required
before the tilt of the appliance is properly
adjusted.
Turning both front legs an equal amount to the left will tilt the kegerator towards the rear. This
adjustment makes it easier for the door to close.
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if someone else pushes against the top of the
appliance to take the weight off the legs.
Draft Arm Assembly
1. Slide the gasket over the wing nut on the bottom of draft arm assembly beer tubes. Slide gasket
up beer tubes to draft arm base.
2. Push the wing nut on the beer tube of the draft arm assembly through the hole in the top of the
cabinet until the draft arm is resting on cabinet top.
3. Align holes in draft arm base with holes in gasket and pilot holes in cabinet, then secure the guard
rail to the cabinet top.
Beer Kegs and Keg Tappers
Your kegerator cooler comes with a double tap and will accommodate two “Sixth Barrel” kegs, also
known as “sixtels” or “logs”. Each sixtel has a height of 23-3/8” and a diameter of 9-1/4” and hold 5.16
gallons of beer. Two Cornelius (“Corny”) kegs will also fit. The unit will not hold a half barrel or quarter
barrel, although it can take one “Slim Quarter” barrel.
The Sankey type keg tappers supplied with the kegerator are the most widely used in the United
States.
However, other types of keg tappers can be used. Before installing a keg tapper, check with your
beer distributor to make sure that the Sankey type keg tapper can be used.
If you need keg tappers other than the Sankey type, it is recommended that you purchase the tappers
you need from your beer distributor. Please keep the Sankey type keg tappers for future use. The
Sankey system is becoming more popular. It may be purchased from our sales Department at 718-
893-3900.

Installing Keg Tap on Single Barrel Type Keg
This wine dispenser's coupler is compatible only with a single 1/6 barrel keg, although a second untapped
keg can be stored behind the tapped keg to keep it cold. Each 1/6 barrel keg holds approximately 5
gallons of wine.
To tap a keg:
1. First be sure that the black dispenser handle is pushed up, indicating an
untapped keg (See Fig.1 below). Also, make sure the tower dispenser (on top of
the wine dispenser) is closed before starting the tap-to-keg connection.
2. Connect the other end of the NO2 pressure tubing to the NO2 pressure inlet
nipple on the keg coupler and secure it with a clamp. Insert the keg coupler
mechanism into the top of the keg and lock it into the lugs with a one-quarter
clockwise turn (Fig.2 & Fig.3).
3. Open the NO2 cylinder valve by turning the knob counterclockwise, open it all
the way to be sure there are no leaks. Then, set the pressure between 5-7 psi, this accommodates most
wine kegs. After the pressure is set, tighten the locknut to prevent tampering with the setting.
4. Connect the wine line wingnut to the keg coupler and tighten it.
5. Turn the shut-off lever down to allow the gas to flow.
6. To finalize the connection, pull the black tap handle out and push it down until it
clicks securely. There will be an audible click, indicating that the gas and wine
have been opened and your keg is tapped. (Fig.4)
7. Open the regulator valve (top right photo) and open the valve on the gas tank.
8. Carefully, tilt the keg onto the cabinet (using the keg support shown in Fig. 5)
and position slowly into the cabinet body until the door can close. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Do not jostle
or bang the keg on the gas canister.

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.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Appliance:
1. Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0), and remove all contents,
including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the
temperature control or any electrical parts.
5. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
6. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply, reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure:
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your chilled items.
Vacations:
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the
door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
Moving Your Appliance:
1. Remove the contents.
2. Securely tape down anything loose inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips:
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depending on
how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.

Draft Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause
Correction
Beer is cloudy: The
beer in the
glass
appears hazy and
not clear.
Excessively low
temperatures
may
cause hazy
or
cloudy beer,
particularly when
the beer lies in
the
cold coil for
long
periods of
time.
Drain a few ounces before drinking.
Raise the temperature setting of the unit.
Glasses may not
have been
cleaned
properly.
Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that
have
contained milk or any other fatty substance. An
excessive
amount of germicide build-up may also
leave a fatty film,
which will cause beer to go flat.
It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses where
health laws permit.
Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to
remove all fatty substances (e.g., lipstick).
Do not use soap.
Do not wipe the glasses dry. Permit glasses to air-dry
by
placing them on a wire rack or corrugated metal
sheet.
Rinse the glasses in fresh cold water just before
serving
beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass.
Improper drawing
of beer into glass
Open the faucet quickly and completely; proper foam
should be a tight creamy head. The collar on the
average
glass should be ¾" to 1" high. Beer drawn
without a head
has the appearance of being flat.
Not enough
pressure
Increase the pressure if beer runs too slowly. The
correct
flow should fill a 10-oz glass in 4 seconds
(approx. 8 oz of
liquid). Check the pressure source to
determine whether
there are obstructions in the air
line. Replace a sluggish air
source or the CO
2
regulator and gauge. The tank pressure
must always
be higher than the pressure used on the keg.
Always
apply pressure to the keg before drawing beer.
Beer has off taste:
Often bitter and
bite-y; sometimes
completely
lacking
flavor and zest. It
may also
have an
oily or foul odor
which may
carry an
unpleasant taste.
Improper
cleaning of the
tap
Brush and clean the tap properly. It should be
scoured using a detergent, then rinsed clean.
Contaminated air
line
Beer tube should be examined. If contaminated, it
should be replaced.
25
Condensation is
forming on the
tap.
It is normal to see
condensation
forming on the
tap.
It is caused
by a
difference in
temperature
between the cold
beer and the
surfaces of the
tap
when beer is
flowing through
the
line. Beer that
is left
in the tap is
not
cooled by the
beer
dispenser.
After a period of non-use, a few ounces should be
drained before drinking.

General Troubleshooting
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases
result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not set to the
STOP (0) position.
The compressor is running continuously.
The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be dirty or
damaged).
The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.
There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Assure
there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the
condenser.)
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with a
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where
it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal
condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually the
noise is reduced.
Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This noise
is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit should be
placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the wall or
cabinets standing next to it.)
