MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

There is usually no need to defrost the beer dispenser because the ice deposited on the
inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during
compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts
and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated
above the compressor where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of
the unit, check that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of
flexible wire. During extremely hot and humid weather, some ice may build up. If
necessary, remove contents of the beer dispenser, turn the thermostat to 0 and allow
defrosting. A hair dryer may facilitate the process.
Read and understand the following instructions before installing the cleaning kit.
1. Mix one gallon of warm water and one ounce (one tablespoon) of cleaner in a
bucket.
Note : Do not use lye, soap or hot water.
2. Remove the cleaner cap. Fill the jar and replace the cap. Leave the remaining
solution in the bucket.

4. Disconnect the tap from the barrel. Then disconnect the beer line from the tap by
turning the nut counter-clockwise. Place the tap and end of the hose in the bucket.
5. Remove the faucet from the tower with the wrench and attach the fitting on the
cleaning bottle in its place.
Note : Make sure there is a washer in the back of the fitting.
6. Hold the cleaning jar upside down until the solution runs through the system into the
bucket.
7. Fill the jar with cold clean water and repeat the process until the water runs clean.
8. Rinse the tap in the bucket with cold water.

in the back of the faucet.
