OPERATING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
¾
Setting The Temperature
To start, turn the temperature control knob to the maximum setting (6). Allow
the unit to run for 24 hours for the unit to cool properly. You may then adjust the
temperature to the desired setting.
In average room conditions of 70°F (21 ºC), set thermostat knob position
between “4” and “5.
To turn off the Beer Dispenser, rotate the control knob to the “OFF” position.
Note: To accurately measure the temperature of liquid in the unit, place a cup of water
In the front corner, and place a liquid thermometer in the water.
During the summer when temperatures are warmer, we recommend that you adjust the control to a
cooler setting.
The time it takes to reach your desired temperature depends on the beer keg size and the room
conditons where the beer keg cooler is located. Normally, on setting of 6, it takes no more than 36
hours for a 1/2 barrel keg to cool down if the ambient temperature is 60°F to 75°F.
The more beer there is, the longer it will take to cool down.
Automatic Defrosting
There is no need to defrost the Beer Dispenser. Defrost water collects and passes thru the drain
outlet in the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
