Open the compartment located on the right-hand side of the mini
kegerator.
Make sure that the pressure gauge valve is closed (to close the valve,
turn it counter-clockwise).
Attach the pressure gauge on the end piece of the 16g adapter.
Insert the 16g CO
2
cartridge in the long part of the adapter.
Screw the two parts of the adapter together.
Screw the gas cartridge fully home on the pressure gauge.
Connect the hose by driving it home into the regulator (To check that the
hose is correctly connected, try to remove it by gently tugging on it.
Resistance indicates that the hose is correctly connected. If you really
want to disconnect the hose, push down the metallic end-piece while
pulling the hose).
Place the assembly on its support and place the entire assembly into the
compartment located on the right-hand side of the mini kegerator.
Connect the CO

line to the tapped mini keg (the “female” end of the line
coming from the mini kegerator connects to the “male” connector on the
mini keg tap)
Turn the dial on the regulator clockwise to begin the flow of CO
2
. Check
the chart under “Tips for Best Results” for pressure suggestions.
Note: once you screw this
assembly together with a 16g
CO
2
cartridge, do not unscrew it
until the cartridge is empty- or
all remaining CO

Do not use BB gun/paintball
CO

.
Make sure to close the regulator if
you want to remove the tap from
the mini-keg.
To replace the
CO
2
cartridge,
close the regulator, unscrew the
current cartridge, and reinstall a
new cartridge.
