TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT! If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for
any period of time, wait 8 hours before plugging the unit in.
It is recommended that you ush the hoses with water prior to rst use to remove
any dust and debris from shipping.
Open the CO
2
Tank with a 1/4 turn to start, then use the regulator to adjust to
desired pour. If it is not enough,continue to open the CO
2
Tank by a 1/4 turn and use
regulator until desired setting is reached.
It is normal to see condensation form on the faucet. It is caused by the difference
in temperature between the cold beer and the inside of the faucet when beer is
owing through the line.
Humidity can cause ice to build up inside the unit, so you will need to periodically
defrost it. A hole in the back of the unit will allow water to drain out of the
appliance.
NOTE
Do not use sharp objects to remove ice build up as this may damage the unit.
Foamy beer
Follow these steps to prevent foamy beer:
1.
Conrm the packing spring in the Keg Coupler is removed and discarded. It is not to
be placed inside the Keg Coupler when unit is assembled.
2.
Make sure there is only one Backow Stopper inserted and it falls out easily if the
Keg Coupler is ipped over. If you have to force it out with a screwdriver, it is
getting lodged in the Keg Coupler. Try exchanging it with the included replacement.
3.
Conrm the beer lines are not kinked and are clean.
4.
You may need to adjust down your pressure, even if it is below the recommended
8-12 psi:
Before lowering the pressure, close the CO
2
Shut Off Valve (turn to 9 o’clock position)
and use a 1.5 mm Allen Wrench to loosen the Allen Set Screw on the red +/- adjustment
dial. This will restrict excess CO
2
from entering the keg.
Adjust the pressure down to 8 psi or below. Lock the red +/- dial back in place by
tightening with the Allen Wrench.
Pull the Release Valve on the Regulator to get an accurate reading of CO
2
pressure.
With the Shut Off Valve still closed, move down to your Coupler.
Pull the release valve on the Coupler to remove any excess CO
2
that may have been
pushed into the keg at another point.
Once most or all has released, open the Shut Off Valve (6 o’clock position) and attempt
to pour a beer.
5.
Keep in mind that jostling a keg can create foamy beer.
6.
Temperature also may affect the beer, so be sure it is not too warm or too cold. 3°C/
37°F is an ideal temperature.
7.
A faulty valve on the keg itself may cause the Keg Coupler to not seal well. Make
sure all connections are secure and well tightened. Ensure all Washers are intact
and correctly placed. Conrm the Directional Washer has a hole in it when pinched
between the ngers.
