Installation The kegerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The kegerator should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the kegerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Countertop Opening for Dispense Kit Notes: • Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 95° F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered efficiency or cause other adverse effects. • This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g. wind, rain, water spray or drips.
Clearance Requirements Make sure the top cover, guard rail, drip tray, and installation pegs are NOT installed on the top of the cabinet. These items will create an obstacle for the cabinet to be installed under counter. Move the kegerator so the opening on the top of the cabinet is aligned with the opening in the counter. When installing the kegerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown below: To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 1-2”...
Seal Space Between Cabinet and Countertop Once the cabinet is installed and the two openings of the cabinet and countertop are aligned, you must seal off the open space that will be created above the kegerator cabinet and under the countertop. If this open space is not properly sealed, the cabinet will lose its cold air and allow warm air to enter.
Electrical Requirements ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. • Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. • Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. • DO NOT use an extension cord. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death. Before you move your Kegerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection: A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical...
