Remove the exterior and interior packaging,
but do not remove any foam insulation
surrounding the pipes at the back.
•
Before connecting the unit to the power
source, let it stand for approximately 24
hours. This will reduce the possibility of
malfunction in the cooling system from
handling during transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm
water using a soft cloth.
•
Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is
strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the
rolling casters at the bottom of the unit.
•
When moving your kegerator, please do not
incline it more than 45 degrees.
•
Locate the appliance away from direct
sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
1.
Position the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting the entire weight
of the unit. Remember the unit will be
significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.
2.
Connect the unit to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI).
3.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
• Electrical Grounding Required - This
appliance is equipped with a three
prong (grounding) polarized plug for
your protection against possible shock
hazards.
• NEVER remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
• NEVER use a two prong grounding
adapter.
BEFORE USE:
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect
the acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the unit to perform improperly. The
optimal ambient temperature range is 50°F
- 109.4°F. Do not mount the draft tower
remotely, as the exposed beer line will not
be refrigerated, causing foam.
•
Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
•
Unwind the power cord to its full length and
inspect for damage before plugging into
the outlet.
•
Plug the kegerator into an exclusive,
properly installed and grounded wall outlet.
•
Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or electrical grounding should
be directed to a certified electrician or
authorized products service center.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall
outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3
to 4 hours before installing a keg in the
appliance.
It is recommended that you install the appliance
in a place where the ambient temperature
is between 50°F and 109.4°F (10°C-43°C). If
the ambient temperature is above or below
recommended temperatures, the performance
of the unit may be affected. For example, placing
your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
The operating temperature range may not be
reached.
