KEGERATOR OPERATION
5.
Locate the keg board (page 5, R) which is the white plastic raised bump board
which you initially removed from the bottom floor of the kegerator during unpack-

(
Figure AB
).

Next, carefully lift the keg atop the keg board and slide all the way into the
kegerator (
Figure AC
).
HANDLE CAREFULLY.
Do not jostle or bang keg! Make
sure that the kegerator door can close easily.

Before opening the tower spigot, slide the drip tray beneath the spigot to catch
excess beer, then pull the tower handle toward your body to open the tap and
dispense beer. To pour a beer with a proper head of foam, tilt the glass at a 45
degree angle until approximately 2/3 full, then straighten the glass and finish
pouring beer.
Note:
If beer does not dispense, check previous sections on regulator hookup and
tapping the keg.
If your beer is running too slowly, adjust the pressure on the regulator judiciously
(
DO NOT EXCEED 12 PSI
).
Condensation on the spigot or tap is normal. It may take as much as 7-8
glasses of beer to reduce the amount of foam (Figure AD) dispensed after
first tapping a keg.
be sure that you are connected safely to the
proper power supply: a 120V, 60Hz, 16 Amp grounded AC outlet. The cord should
be rated for
AT LEAST
1875 Watts and a No. 14 AWG minimum size.

USING YOUR KEGERATOR
1. To prevent ice buildup on the inside of the cabinet, set the temperature
control to MID or LOW if you live in a cold area. This unit does not self-
defrost. The temperature control is located inside the kegerator cabinet.
2. If you do not anticipate the use of your kegerator with a tapped keg for a
period of two weeks or longer, rinse the beer line to prevent mold or
bacterial buildup which could cause illness.
3. Never use sharp objects in your kegerator. If you are storing your
machine, be sure to prevent children from playing in or around the unit.
DANGER!
Children can become trapped in an unsecured and unsupervised
environment.
