Storage and Care
Follow the guidelines below to care for your Beer Keg Dispenser when not in use.
• Please adjust the temperature control dial to MID or LOW in colder environments because this unit does not
self-defrost and ice may build up inside the unit. The temperature control dial is located inside the cabinet
of the Beer Keg Dispenser.
• Always rinse the beer line if you do not intend to use your Beer Keg Dispenser for a period of time. First,
turn off the CO2 and dispense beer until it stops. This will release pressure in the keg so that the coupler
can safely be detached.
• To avoid permanent damage to the unit, never use sharp objects inside the Beer Keg Dispenser.
Special Safety Information
Important safety message for draft beer dispensing:
Your Beer Keg Dispenser system has two safety devices already provided in the CO2 pressure line. The
coupler for
this Beer Keg Dispenser is compatible with the ¼ Pony Keg sized barrel and the ½ Barrel full
size (US Kegs). While the Beer Keg Dispenser can hold both the 5 gallon Cornelius Keg and the 5 gallon
D System Keg, should you decided to run either one of these 5 gallon kegs, you may need to obtain an
alternate keg connector.
Safety devices should be installed in the following places:
1.
On or directly downstream from the CO2 regulator.
2.
On the tapping device.
3.
In-line in the pressure system.
Note: Locations 1 and 2 noted above are preferable. If possible they should be built into the CO2 regulator
and tapping device so that they cannot be removed or by-passed.
Troubleshooting
Flat Beer
(foamy head disappears quickly, beer doesn’t taste fresh)
:
Greasy glasses.
Use a good quality bar glass cleaner and make sure the glasses are rinsed thoroughly.
Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that had milk or other fatty substances
in them.
Improper pour.
Open the faucet quickly and completely. Hold the glass steady at a 45º angle. When
it is
⅔
full, start straightening the glass. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head
and the collar on an average glass should be ¾” to 1” high.
Not enough pressure.
Increase the pressure if beer runs too slowly. Check pressure source to determine if
there are any obstructions.
