Installation of the Beer Tower

Remove the top plug by twisting and pulling out, saving it for later use if you decide to convert unit to
an all-refrigerator.

Unravel the beer line (clear hose) from the tower and insert the beer line and wing nut through the
uncovered hole on top.

Lock the beer tower assembly to the top and make sure to position the beer faucet so it is aligned with
the cabinet front (6 o’clock position). You accomplish this by aligning the bottom of the beer tower to
the 3 grooves on the top cabinet and tighten by hand clockwise to properly lock.

YOUR UNIT MAY NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF THIS WASHER AS TOWER IS DESIGNED FOR A
TIGHT AND SECURE FIT.
HOWEVER, WHILE INSTALLING THE TOWER TO THE UNIT THIS WASHER CAN BE USED FOR A
TIGHTER FIT IF NECESSARY.
Connecting the Beer Tower to Coupler
