Beer Temperature
• The recommended temperature for serving chilled beer is
between 34˚ and 38˚F. To maintain this temperature in
average room conditions of 70˚F, set the
thermostat to "Normal."
Note: During the summertime when temperatures are
warmer, we recommend that you adjust the
control to a cooler setting accordingly.
• Select and maintain the proper temperature inside the
refrigerator cabinet. This is necessary for maintaining the
flavor freshness of beer.
• The best temperature for storing a keg is approximately
38˚F.
• Excessively cold or warm temperatures inside the
refrigerator cabinet may cause a loss of flavor.
Note: Sour beer is produced as a result of secondary
fermentation above 45˚F.
Normal Operating Sound You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that
are the result of the refrigerant circulating through
the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles
on and off.

Tips for Cleaning Beer Glasses
For the freshest flavor, it is important to serve beer in clean
glasses. For your convenience, the following tips explain
how to properly clean beer glasses before serving beer.
• Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have
contained milk or any other fatty substance.
• An excessive amount of germicide build-up will also leave
a fatty film on the glasses, which may cause flat beer.
• Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to
remove all fatty substances (i.e. lipstick).
• Do not use soap.
• Do not wipe glasses dry. Allow glasses to air-dry by
placing them on a wire rack or on corrugated metal.
• Rinse in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best
to serve beer in a wet glass.
Two Simple Tests for Clean Beer Glasses
1. Wash the glasses using your usual method. Immerse the
glass heel first in clean water. Empty the glass. If water
droplets cling to the glass or if spots appear on the glass
while pouring, the glass has not been cleaned properly.
A clean glass should air-dry crystal clear.
2. Again, wash the glass using your usual method. Pour out
the water and then shake salt into the wet glass. If salt
does not cling to the entire inside wall of the glass and
clear unsalted spots remain, the glass is not clean.

CLEANING
• Wash any removable parts, the beer dispenser interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be
removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape
already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
