CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

 

 

Cleaning Your Beer Dispenser 

 

Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the Beer Dispenser, and remove the contents. 

 

Wash  the  inside  surfaces  with  a  warm  water  and  baking  soda  solution.  The  solution  should  be 
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. 

 

Wash the shelves and stand with a mild detergent solution. 

 

Wipe down any electrical controls with a dry clothe. 

 

Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.  Rinse well and wipe dry with 
a clean soft cloth. 

 

 

Vacation Time 

 

Short vacations: 

Leave the Beer Dispenser operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

 

 

Long  vacations: 

If  the  appliance  will  not  be  used  for  several  months,  remove  all  contents  and 

unplug the power cord.  Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.  To prevent odor and mold growth, 
leave the door open slightly. 

 

 

Moving Your Beer Dispenser 

 

Remove all the contents. 

 

Securely tape down all loose items inside your Beer Dispenser.
