BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
These instructions are important, and we request you read them before using this beer
dispenser. They describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it.
The instructions were prepared for various models so you may find descriptions of some
accessories and functions that do not apply to yours. These units are designed for beer
only, and are not recommended for perishable foods such as meats or dairy products.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for a least 8 hours
.
This allows the refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and reduces the risk of
malfunctions in the cooling system caused by shipping.
Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. (See Maintenance and Cleaning.)
Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. Do not cut or
remove the grounding plug! Connect to a 120V, 60Hz grounded AC outlet having a
minimum 15 amps. Do not use an extension cord. Use a three-prong plug with a three-
prong grounded wall outlet. If you do not have one, have a certified electrician install the
proper outlet.
WE CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of environmentally friendly materials
which can safely be recycled, disposed of or destroyed with minimal environmental effects.
Our instruction manuals are printed on recycled paper or chlorine-free bleached paper.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you
open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.
If possible, disconnect the power before changing a keg of beer.
For built-in models (model number contains "BI"): While these units are designed for
under-counter use and the compressor cooling is fan-assisted, an air gap of 2" between the
rear of the unit and the wall or counter surface behind is strongly recommended. This will
enhance cooling and reduce energy waste. Also leave at least 3/16" on both sides and
1/16" at the top. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
For free-standing models (model number does not contain "BI"): Your appliance is not
designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you allow at
least 4" of clearance at the sides, rear and top to allow for adequate airflow.
Set the thermostat from a higher to lower setting whenever possible, depending on how full
the appliance is or what the ambient temperature is.
Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
Periodically, check that the beer dispenser seals well and none of the contents prevent the
door from closing.
