6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This dispenser requires an earth that meets the national and local electrical code requirements.
To prevent possible severe electrical shock to individuals or extensive damage to the unit, install a proper earth wire to the dispenser.
Remove the plug from the mains socket before any maintenance, repairs or cleaning is undertaken.
CAUTION
The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed ±10 percent of the rated voltage. Operation of the unit outside of
this range may cause smoking, ignition, damage to the unit or reduction of the performance.
* This appliance requires a separate power supply. The electrical supply must be protected by a suitable circuit breaker.
* Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a replacement cord available from your dealer/supplier.
7. GAS AND BEER CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
[a] CO2 GAS CYLINDER
WARNING
Use a CO2 gas cylinder designed for use with beer. Use of any other cylinders may cause explosion or air pollution.
While carrying the CO2 gas cylinder, keep the cap closed and avoid any impact on the cylinder to prevent the risk of explosion
or gas leaks.
Keep the CO2 gas cylinder away from direct sunlight or temperatures above 40°C to avoid excessive temperature rise and
explosion.
The regulator must be provided with an undamaged gasket to prevent the risk of gas leaks. If not, contact the liquor shop,
beer company or distributor to install a new gasket.
Stand the CO2 gas cylinder upright, and x it securely with the accessory chain to prevent overturn resulting in injury or
explosion.
KeepyourfaceawayfromtheCO2gascylinderwhileblowingdirtanddusto󰀨theregulatorjoint.Dustgettinginyoureyes
can cause visual impairment.
Handle the regulator with care to avoid any impact, or it may not work properly and the beer keg or hose can explode.
Before opening the main valve of the CO2 gas cylinder or removing the keg coupler from the beer keg, set the regulator to “0”.
Otherwise,suddenapplicationofgaspressureonthebeerkegmaycauseexplosionorblow-o󰀨ofthekegcoupler.
1) Open the main valve of the new CO2 gas cylinder for a second to
blowdirtanddusto󰀨thejoint(togetherwithCO2gas).
2) Check the regulator gasket. If it is damaged or not provided,
install a new gasket. (Contact the liquor shop, beer company or
distributor.)
3) Install the regulator securely on the CO2 gas cylinder.
NOTICE
Tightenthenutbyhandrst,thenwiththespanner(accessory)so
that the level gauge will be upright.
4) Open the main valve by turning it counterclockwise, and check the regulator nut for gas leak (sound). If gas is leaking, the nut
must be loose or the gasket must be damaged or not provided.
Note: To check for gas leaks, apply a sponge with soap to the joint. Bubbles form if gas is leaking.
