WARNING - THIS UNIT USES R290, A HYDROCARBON, PROPANE REFRIGERANT THAT IS
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUT IS ALSO HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. PLEASE READ
THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN TO AVOID
THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Hydrocarbon Guidelines

Propane (R290) is highly approved for use as a refrigerant in commercial, self-contained units in the US under limited
use conditions. It can only be used in new equipment. Backfitting or modifications of old equipment are not allowed. It
must be charged in a strictly limited volume of up to 150 grams (5.3 oz) per refrigeration circuit. Even though this is a
small amount, it still presents a fire or explosion hazard if it leaks out of parts that hold refrigerant. When it comes in
contact with air, a flammable propane-air mixture can be created and easily ignited by electrical sparks, open flames
or hot surfaces. The risk is higher in small, confined, poorly ventilated spaces. Propane will settle at lower zones
because it is heavier than air. To reduce these risks, observe the following precautions
• Avoid installation of unit in areas with open flames or in general vicinity of open flames or high surface
temperatures.
• Avoid unit installation in small, confined spaces. Ensure ample ventilation at all times. Keep all exhaust vents
free of any blockage or obstruction.
• Do not rely on smell to detect potential leaks of propane refrigerant. Propane refrigerant is a high purity
propane gas and does not contain odourants or stenching agents. These additives are typically used in fuel-
grade propane and natural gas in order to give them a distinctive smell which makes it easier to detect leaks.
• General service and repairs must be performed in well-ventilated areas.
• General service and repairs must be performed only by professionals authorized by Everest Refrigeration.
• Component shall be replaced with Everest-issued, like components to minimize the risk of possible ignition
resulting from incompatible parts or improper repairs.
• Do not modify, re-appropriate, or remove any functional part(s) from the unit.
• Handle the unit with care to avoid any damage.
• Practice safety guidelines when transporting the unit. Consult with your local Department of Transportation for
requirements in moving flammable gasses.

2. Installation Instructions
This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance and
longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician and
electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
1. Inspect for any freight damage upon delivery
of the unit. If damage is detected, immediately
report it to an Everest representative. Everest is
not responsible for damage that occurs during
shipment.
2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The
compressor contains oil, refrigerant, lubricants,
and various chemicals. When tilted, these fluids
may shift and travel to sections where they
don’t naturally occur. This will lead to system
contamination and compressor failure.
3. Some units require caster installation for
proper performance. Visit our website at www.
everestref.com and enter your product’s model
number in the search field to determine its caster
requirements.
4. Do not place your hands under the unit when
moving it to avoid injury from sharp edges,
protruding parts or weight impact.
5. Select a location with good air ventilation.
Poor ventilation rapidly increases ambient
temperature. High ambient temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain the
desired cabinet temperature. This will result in
decreased performance, advanced component
failure, and the risk of fire.
6. Select a location away from heat-generating
equipment such as stoves, ovens, etc. Heat sources
rapidly increase the temperature of the immediate
vicinity. High temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C)
promote excessive compressor activity in order
to maintain the desired cabinet temperature. This
will result in decreased performance, advanced
component failure, and the risk of fire.
7. A distance of 6” is required for back side and
left side clearance. This ensures proper ventilation
and prevents overheating which can lead to
advanced component failure and the risk of fire.
8. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface.
Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure proper
alignment. Proper door function and condensate
removal is dependent on accurate balance.
Install the front leg stabilizers for units that come
standard with it to ensure proper door / drawer
functions and unit stability.
9. Select a location close to an electrical wall
outlet to ensure direct connection without the use
of extension cords.
10. Select a location away from severe moisture
conditions. This may compromise the unit’s
electrical components and lead to electrical
shocks or the risk of fire.
11. Select a location that will not expose the
unit to extremely dusty conditions. Environments
with high dust and debris content will significantly
hasten condenser coil and condenser coil air
filter blockage and will result in decreased
performance, advanced component failure, and
the risk of fire.
12. Do not build an enclosure or cabinet around
the unit. This will restrict air ventilation resulting
in elevated compressor activity, decreased
performance, advanced component failure, and the
risk of fire.
13. The unit is not intended for use in food trucks.
Limited space, lack of ventilation, and ambient
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) typical to this
setting will result in elevated compressor activity,
decreased performance, advanced component
failure, and the risk of fire.
14. The unit is intended for indoor use only.
Outdoor use will cause a decrease in performance,
advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.
15. Ensure that the draft assembly is installed
before turning on the equipment. Refer to Chapter 2
for proper installation guidelines.

1. Some models come standard with shelves, shelf clips and
notched pilasters. Each shelf requires four clips. Attach the
shelf clips onto the pilasters by inserting its top hook into a
pilaster notch followed by the bottom hook. Do not use pliers
or other crimping tools to modify the shape of the shelf clips.
This will result in shelf mounting instability.
Shelf Installation
2. Place shelves on the shelf clips making sure all corners are
mounted securely and evenly with identical distance from the
unit’s floor and up. Always lay the back of each shelf down on
the rear clips before the front.
3. When removing a shelf, unmount the shelf from the shelf
clips. To detach the shelf clip from the pilaster, tilt up the shelf
clip until the bottom hook clears, followed by the top hook.

Keg Installation
*NOTE: The CO2 distributor can be used to share the single CO2 tank between multiple kegs.
A ) Cabinet Exterior: For CO2 tanks placed outside of the unit, it is necessary to drill a hole for the
CO2 port anywhere in the safe areas indicated in Chapter 2. Drilling outside of these areas will cause
irreparable damage to the refrigeration components and/or wiring.
B ) Cabinet Interior: For CO2 tanks placed inside the unit, it is not necessary to drill a hole for the CO2
port. This set up is possible depending on the model of the Direct Draw Keg Refrigerator and the size of
the CO2 tanks and beer kegs.
1 ) Choosing the CO2 tank location
A ) Before proceeding, ensure that the shut off valve of the CO2 regulator is closed. The lever must be
perpendicular to the CO2 line if it is in the closed position.
B ) Take one end of the CO2 line and push it up the CO2 regulator’s barb connector as tightly as
possible. Secure the hose to the fitting with the use of a clamp. The clamp must be positioned well
above the hose and fitting junction so as not to interfere with the valve operation.
C ) If the CO2 tank is located outside the cabinet, feed the hose through the CO2 port that was drilled
into the wall of the unit.
2 ) Connecting the CO2 Line to the CO2 Regulator
A ) Before proceeding, ensure that the CO2 tank is filled and in the closed position.
B) Connect the CO2 regulator nut to the CO2 tank.
3 ) Connecting the CO2 Regulator to the CO2 Tank
A) Before proceeding, it is critical that the keg pull handle is closed in the up position.
B) Install the keg coupler on the keg’s neck junction. Turn clockwise to lock it in place.
4 ) Connecting the Keg Coupler
A) Take the open end of the CO2 line and push it up the keg coupler’s barb connector as tightly as
possible. Secure the hose to the fitting with the use of a clamp. The clamp must be positioned well
above the hose and fitting junction so as not to interfere with the valve operation.
5) Connecting the CO2 Line to the Keg Coupler

Installation Instructions
16
Keg Installation ( continued )
A) Before proceeding, remove any protective film or wrap from the keg coupler.
B) Attach the rubber washer to the beer line hex fitting.
C) Connect the beer line from the tower to the screw fitting on top of the keg coupler.
6) Connecting the Beer Line to the Keg Coupler
A) Pull on the top handle of the keg coupler and push down until it locks in place.
7) Tapping the Keg
A) Keep the shut-off valve of the CO2 regulator closed while you open the valve on the CO2 tank.
B) Loosen the CO2 regulator adjustment nut with a pair of pliers. Twist the adjustment screw
counterclockwise all the way.
C) Slowly turn the CO2 regulator adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the output
pressure gauge. 12 PSI is the recommended pressure for most situations. Some conditions such as
site altitude or beer variety will dictate specific pressure settings. Regulators designed for draft beer are
turned clockwise to increase output pressure and counterclockwise to decrease output pressure.
D) Open the shut-off valve on the CO2 regulator while keeping the main switch parallel to the
tubing. The keg will audibly pressurize as gas flows through the regulator to the keg coupler.
The output needle will momentarily drop as the pressure equalizes before returning to the
original position it was set to.
E) Pull on the ring of the keg coupler’s pressure relief valve to allow gas to vent. This will help
achieve a more accurate reading on the output pressure gauge.
F) Recheck the output pressure on the regulator. If necessary, readjust following step 8C until
the desired pressure is achieved. Finish any adjustment to the regulator with a brief pull on the
pressure relieve valve to ensure an accurate reading on the output pressure gauge.
8) Calibrating the CO2 Regulator
9) Placing the Keg
A) Position the keg in the cabinet interior. Ensure that no hoses are pinched or crushed.
