EdgeStar Built-in Kegerator

Built-In Installation
A built-in installation allows the kegerator to be placed under
counter. This installation requires several more steps and
considerations than a free-standing install
.
Countertop Opening For Dispense Kit.
Once the location of the kegerator installation is determined the first
step is to create an opening in the counter for the dispense kit lines
to pass through. Mark off a spot on the countertop where the
opening will be created. Align that spot so it will be directly above
the opening of the kegerator that will be placed under the counter.
You will need to drill or cut (depending on the material of your
countertop) an opening into your counter the same size as the
opening of the top of the kegerator. Do not cut it larger than that
size as the dispense tower will be optimized for that size hole.
Installation Requirements
Once an opening is created in the countertop the next step is to
install the cabinet. When installing the kegerator under a counter,
follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown below.
• Make sure the top cover, guard rail, drip tray, and installation pegs
are NOT installed on the top of the cabinet. These items will create
an obstacle for the cabinet to be installed under counter.
• Move the kegerator so the opening on the top of the cabinet is
aligned with the opening in the counter.
• The kegerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that
will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is
important for the kegerator to be level in order to work properly. If
needed, you can adjust the height of the kegerator by rotating the
feet. See the “Leveling the Kegerator” section.
• A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly
grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances is required.
Enclose Space Between Cabinet and Countertop
Once the cabinet is installed and the two openings of the cabinet
and countertop are aligned you will want to seal off the open space
that will be created above the kegerator cabinet and under the
countertop. If this open space is not sealed the cabinet will lose its
cold air and will not work or cool as efficiently.
To close the opening you will want to run a short connecting tube
from the cabinet to the countertop. There is not an accessory
included for this connection with the unit. Common materials for
this connection include PVC pipe or rubber lining.
Important Notes:
• Choose a location that has
ambient temperatures above
50°F and below 95°F.
Operation outside these
temperatures may result in
lowered efficiency or cause
other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed
in an area protected from the
elements, e.g., wind, rain,
water spray or drips.
• The kegerator should not be
located next to ovens, grills or
other high heat sources.
• Do not kink or pinch the
power supply cord between
the kegerator and wall or
cabinet.
