Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Pertaining to the risk of Fire, Electric Shock or Injury to persons.
Grounding Instructions
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. This
plug must be plugged into an appropriate wall outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all existing local
codes and ordinances.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not clearly understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether your electrical wall outlets are properly grounded.
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Risk of fire or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in
defrost. Please handle with care. Keep flammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from
the refrigerator. Use nonflammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
Warning: CO2can be Dangerous!
CO2Cylinders when charged contain high pressure compressed gas which can be hazardous if not handled properly.
Read and understand the following procedures for CO2cylinders before installation:
1. Always check the D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) as well as the T.C. (Transport Canada) test date located on
the neck of the cylinder before installation. If the date is older than five (5) years, do not use! Return the gas cylinder
to a gas supplier for re-certification (service charges may be applicable).
2. Always connect a CO2gas cylinder to a regulator. Failure to do so could result in an explosion which can possibly
result in death or injury when the cylinder valve is opened.
3. Never connect a CO2gas cylinder directly to a beer keg.
4. Always secure a CO2 gas cylinder in an “upright” position.
5. Always keep a CO2gas cylinder away from heat.
6. Never drop or throw a CO2cylinder unless there are two (2) safety mechanisms in the pressure system;
• One at or on the CO2regulator.
• One at or on the product container coupler in the pressure gas line.
Note: The regulator and keg coupler supplied with this unit are inclusive of such safety mechanisms.
7. CO2gas cylinders should be stored in the coolest part of the establishment (preferably) at 70°F (21°C) and must
always be securely fastened in an “upright” position.
8. Always ventilate area after any leakage of CO2.
WARNING
If it becomes difficult to breathe and/or your head starts to ache, abnormal concentrations of carbon
dioxide (CO2) may be present in the area...CLOSE THE MAIN VALVE ON THE CO2CYLINDER, VENTI-
LATE AND LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY!
