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.
• Remove the shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Appliance:
1. Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support it when the appliance is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
2. This appliance is designed for freestanding use 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. The bottom grill must never be covered or blocked. If rear
spacers are provided with your specific model, they must be installed.
3. This appliance is supplied with spacers which must be mounted onto the condenser
tube at the back to make sure there is sufficient clearance between the appliance and
the wall.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed, and grounded wall outlet. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or authorized service center.
Installation Instructions

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 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 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.
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.

Reversing the Door Swing:
If you find the direction of opening the door of the appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the
opposite side have already been prepared at the factory.
This appliance can be opened from either the right side or the left. By default, the door hinge is on the right
side. If you prefer it on the left, please follow these instructions:
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.
6.
Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock washers or nuts if they
were used in the original installation.
7.
Replace the door with the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place the top hinge pin into the door.
Insert screws into the top hinge and tighten.
Door Handle Installation:
The door has two screw holes on each side, allowing you to install a handle (included). To do so, align
the handle with the screw holes on the side you prefer. Fix the handle in place with the included screws,
then cover the screw heads with the handle seal (included).

Installing the Casters (optional):
1. Remove everything from the cabinet and lay the unit on a clean, dry, and padded surface.
2. Remove the four feet at the bottom of the unit as shown, install caster into the holes and tighten with a
Phillips screwdriver.
3. The two casters equipped with locks should be installed on the front of the unit.
4. Once all four casters are attached, return the kegerator to an upright position. Allow the unit to sit for 8-10
hours before plugging in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
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.
Leg Shield:
Note: Some models include a leg shield meant to cover the exposed legs and the gap from the bottom of your
unit to the floor for a cleaner look. This feature may not be available on all appliances.

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 (800) 932-4267.

Temperature Control:
Your appliance may have a mechanical (dial) or digital thermostat. Listed below are instructions for both mechanical
and digital thermostats.
Mechanical (dial) Thermostat (on some models):
• 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) inside the unit.
• 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 Unit 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 unit also depends on how often you open the door.
• In all small units without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear.
Place contents accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try
putting some water bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.

Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance operates with an automatic defrost system, so the unit defrosts itself. While the
compressor is operating, ice will build up along the cold rear 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 adjusting 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.

Cleaning Your Appliance:
1. Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0), and remove all contents, including
shelves and crisper.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the temperature
control or any electrical parts.
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the back wall with a soft non-metallic
brush or vacuum cleaner.
7. 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 before cleaning or maintenance 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 all shelving inside the 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 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.
Care and Maintenance
19
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases result from improper handling and can
easily be eliminated.
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 contain
milk or any other fatty substance. An excessive amount of
germicide build
-up may also leave a fatty film, which will
cause the 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 the 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 airline. 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.
The beer comes out warm
and foamy.
The beer is too warm
Adjust the temperature in the unit to make the beer colder.
Wrong CO
2
pressure
If the pressure is too high, the beer will come out foamy.
Keep the pressure range between 10
-12 PSI.
Dirty or damaged beer line
The beer line needs to either be cleaned or replaced.
Probe washer is missing or
damaged
If the probe washer is damaged or missing, the beer will
come out foamy every time. Replace it as soon as possible.
Too much time between service
Pour and discard the first cup of beer at the beginning of
service to refreshen the beer line.

Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the
refrigerating system with a compressor. Noise can
depend on where the appliance is placed, how it is
used, and how old it 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. The noise
will gradually reduce.
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.
