GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: To the user of this manual – This manual is a guide for installing, operating, and main- taining this equipment. Refer to the Table of Contents for page location for detailed information per- taining to questions that arise during installation, operation, service, or maintenance of this equip- ment.
Electrical Requirements: Operating Voltage Current Draw THEORY OF OPERATION see Figure 2 A CO cylinder delivers carbon dioxide (CO dispensing valves are opened, CO through the Unit cooling coils, and on to the beer faucets resulting in cold beer being dispensed. When the Unit power cord has been plugged into an electrical outlet and the main power switch on back of the Unit (115 VAC, 60 Hz Units only) has been positioned in the ‘‘ON’’...
Request a written inspec- tion report from Claims Inspector to substantiate any necessary claim. File claim with the delivering carrier, not with IMI Cornelius Inc. Unpack Unit as follows: 1.
2. The Unit must be installed near a properly grounded electrical outlet with proper electrical require- ments.The electrical circuit must be properly fused (slow-blow type fuse) or the circuit must be connected through an equivalent HACR circuit breaker.The electrical outlet must be accessible for ease of connecting and disconnecting the Unit power cord.
6. Make sure the main power switch (115 VAC, 60 Hz Unit), located on back side of the Unit, is in the “OFF” (down) position. 7. Plug Unit power cord into electrical outlet. If Unit is 115 VAC, 60 Hz, place main power switch on back side of the Unit in “ON”...
3. Open the CO cylinder shutoff valve slightly to allow the primary CO the valve fully to back-seat the valve. Back-seating the valve prevents leakage around the valve shaft. 4. Adjust the primary CO regulator by loosening the regulator adjusting screw lock nut, then turn the adjust- ing screw to the right (clockwise) until the gage reads 50-PSI.
OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTIONS This section covers operating controls, pre-operation check, Unit operation, and maintenance procedures that may be performed by the Operator. IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service internal components of the Unit. PROPER BEER STORAGE Beer is a perishable product that can be materially changed by improper handling. Undesirable dispensed beer can be created by improper cooling of the beer or lack of cleaning/sanitizing the beer systems.
BEER FAUCET (2) DRIP TRAY/CUP REST FIGURE 3. 1550 UNIVERSAL BEER DISPENSER OPERATING CLEARANCES Check area in front, back, sides, and above the Unit for obstructions. These areas must be kept clear at all times. Listed below are the minimum clearances that must be maintained. Clearance above the Unit –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––...
An excessive accumulation of dust, lint, and grease on the condenser coil will restrict air flow through the coil which will decrease cooling efficiency of the Unit. The Unit condenser coil should be periodically cleaned to maintain cooling efficiency of the Unit. Contact a qualified Service Person to clean the Unit condenser coil. CHECKING ICE WATER BATH A gurgle heard from the Unit while it is operating, indicates the water level in the water tank is low and more water should be added to the tank.

Adjust the beer flow rate at approximately 2-ounces per second by rotating the beer faucet compensator adjust- ing screw to the left (counterclockwise) for a higher beer flow rate or to the right (clockwise) for a lower beer flow rate. CORNELIUS BEER FAUCET PERLICK BEER FAUCET BEER FLOW RATE...
2. Remove four screws securing air intake grille on the Unit front panel, then remove the grille. 3. Vacuum or use a soft brush to clean the condenser coil. If available, use low-pressure compressed air. 4. Install air intake grille on the Unit and secure with four screws. 5.
8. Using a fiber brush, carefully clean mineral deposit build-up from the agitator motor shaft and the ice bank sensing bulb. 9. Rinse all parts and flush water tank with clean water. 10. Install plug in end of the water tank drain hose, then place drain hose back inside the Unit. 11.
5. Connect tank containing detergent solution into the beer system. 6. Place waste container under applicable beer faucet. 7. Activate the beer faucet to permit detergent solution to purge beer out of the line, coil, and the beer faucet. Continue to dispense until all beer has been purged from the beer system and only detergent solution is dispensed from the beer faucet.
WARNING: CO displaces oxygen. Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of (carbon dioxide) gas leaks in the entire CO suspected, particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concentration of CO tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation.
CLEANING CO GAS CHECK VALVE (see Figures 2 and 7) gas check valves must be inspected and serviced at least once a year under normal conditions and after any servicing or disruption of the CO system. ALWAYS REPLACE QUAD RING SEALS EACH TIME CHECK VALVES ARE SERVICED.
IMPORTANT: Only qualified Personnel should service internal components or electrical wiring. WARNING: If repairs are to be made to the beer system, close shutoff valve in applicable beer inlet line, then relieve system pressure before proceeding. If repairs are to be made to the CO system, shut off CO then relieve system pressure before proceeding.
Trouble DISPENSED BEER FLOW RATE TOO HIGH. OFF-TASTE BEER (SOUR AND UNPALATABLE). DISPENSED BEER FLAT (DISAPPEARING FOAM). DISPENSED BEER TEMPERATURE TOO WARM EXCESSIVE FOAMING (WILD BEER) WHILE BEER IS BEING DISPENSED. 569000246 Probable Cause Beer faucet not properly adjusted for beer flow rate. Beer system needs to be cleaned and sanitized.
Trouble TROUBLESHOOTING COOLING UNIT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM COMPRESSOR DOES NOT OPERATE. COMPRESSOR WILL NOT STOP AFTER GLYCOL (COOLANT) HAS BEEN SUFFICIENTLY COOLED. COMPRESSOR OPERATES CONTINUOUSLY BUT DOES NOT COOL GLYCOL (COOLANT) SUFFICIENTLY. CONDENSER FAN MOTOR NOT OPERATING. NOTE: If overload protector cuts out compressor,condenser fan motor will continue to operate; otherwise, troubleshooting condenser fan motor problems are same as for ‘‘COMPRESSOR DOES NOT OPERATE’’...
Trouble REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR NOT OPERATING 569000246 Probable Cause Refrigeration system overheated. Clogged condenser coil air intake filter. Refrigeration system overheated. Condenser fan motor not operating. Glycol tank temperature control sensor inoperable. Loose or broken sensor electrical wire. Glycol tank temperature control sensor inoperable, Inoperable sensor.
