Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Components Exposed to Beer
Frequent cleaning of components that are often exposed to beer will prevent bad tasting beer caused
by buildup of deposits and bacteria. Cleaning these components will remove beer residue from from
the tap and beer lines, keeping your beer tasting fresh.
We recommend using the Zephyr Kegerator Beer Line Cleaning Kit, PRKCLN-001, to clean your beer
lines every 6 weeks or each time the beer keg is replaced to maintain fresh tasting beer.
Over time, a deep cleaning of the beer lines is required due to buildup. Please follow the instructions
below for thoroughly cleaning the beer lines.
1. Close the CO₂ hand valve and remove all pressure with the pressure relief valve.
2. Disengage the keg coupler. Remove the gas line and beer line. Handle with care to prevent spilling
of residual beer.
3. Remove the tap from the tap tower using the included wrench.
4. Soak the keg coupler and tap in warm water with some beer line cleaning solution for 30 minutes,
Reassemble everything once cleaned.
Drip Tray Cleaning
If there is a bad odor surrounding the kegerator, it is likely coming from the drip tray. The drip
tray collects residual beer from the tap upon pouring, and if not periodically cleaned, will attract
unwanted bacteria and mold. These microbes over time contribute to unpleasant smells. We suggest
using these options below:
Ź
Rinse the drip tray after each use.
Ź
Clean the drip tray using soap and warm water after a few days of use.
Ź
Placing the drip tray in the dishwasher and running it.
NOTE:
Waiting a few seconds longer after pouring your beer will help lessen the amount of drip into
your tray.
