to keep track of all included parts and pieces before discarding packaging materials. It is advised
that you keep the original box and packaging materials in case you are ever to move or ship the
appliance in the future.
Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling components time

NOTE: This appliance is designed for “indoor” use only and should not be used outdoors.
WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the kegerator. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape
and glue from your kegerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage
the surface of your kegerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your
kegerator.
Installing the Kegerator
To ensure the kegerator will last, install it in a location where there is proper air circulation and
electrical connections. Keep the refrigerator away from heat and direct sunlight. This cooler is
designed for indoor use only and should not be used outdoors. It should not be placed in a built-
in or recessed area as it is designed to be a freestanding kegerator.
The following dimensions are the recommended clearances around the beer dispenser:
Sides - 4” (76mm)
Back - 4 to 5” (127 mm)
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.
Unpacking the Kegerator

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.
Electrical Requirements
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 (115V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your kegerator, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size
should be 15 Amps.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance’s plug must be grounded. It is equipped with a 3-prong
power supply cord. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating
3-prong wall socket and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code as well as
local codes and ordinances. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
• Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under
any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician.
• This appliance requires a standard 110~120 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.
• Do not use outlet adaptors. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Be
sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
