Defrosting the KegMaster™XL
WARN ING
This unit DOES NOT automatically defrost and may require occasional manual defrosting.
DO NOT scrape any ice or frost from the walls or cold plates.
Doing so may damage the unit and void the Warranty!
NOTE: Excessive ice buildup reduces the efficiency of the unit
For tips on how to limit ice and frost buildup please see our Troubleshooting section.
If excess ice or frost has formed on the inside of the KegMaster™XL…
1. Turn the unit off at the mains power
2. Wait an hour or more for the ice to melt. This can take up to a couple of days, depending
on how much ice has accumulated.
A hairdryer may be used, to speed up the process, by gently blowing warm air at the ice.
3. Wipe any liquid or moisture from the internal walls, floors, and ceiling, using an
absorbent cloth or towel
4. Turn the unit’s power back on.
If excess ice is forming too regularly, see our Troubleshooting tips
Calibrating your KegMaster™Series XL Kegerator
When to calibrate your KegMaster™Series XL Kegerator
If your kegerator is freezing the chill plate on the inside with a thick layer or ice, it is
recommended to set the calibration at -3 and see if the situation improves.
If the KegMaster™is not cold enough, it is recommended to set it to +2 and see it the situation
improves.
How to calibrate your KegMaster™Series XL Kegerator?
1. Press and hold both the “Cooler” and “Warmer” buttons for 5 seconds until the
temperature display flashes SC.
2. Release those buttons and press the “°F/°C” button.
3. The display now shows the calibration factor, and you can change it with the “Cooler” and
“Warmer” buttons.
4. Once it is at the desired value press the “°F/°C”button again to save it.

About Kegs and Kegerators
Kegerators can be used for different keg types and it’s important that you understand what types of kegs
are available and the types of fittings that are required for each type. You will need to customize your
kegerator to suit the kegs that you want to dispense. The keg types can be split up into two main
categories: Commercial and Home Brewing Kegs
Commercial Kegs
Commercial Kegs such as the one on the left are usually used by commercial
breweries and in Australia are mainly sold as 50L kegs. However, smaller sized kegs
do exist, such as 20L, 25L and 30L kegs.
Commercial kegs use several different coupler types as shown below, with the most
common types being the A, D and S-type couplings.
90% of all 50L commercial kegs in Australia will use either A or D-types.
The S-type is most often used for imported beers from Europe or Asia.
The device to connect your beer and gas line to the keg is called a “Keg Coupler”.
Make sure to know what type of keg coupler you need before purchasing the equipment so you can
easily be supplied with the correct one.
A-Type
Also known as the “German Slider”, this type of keg is
used by Toohey, Coopers, West End, Little Creatures,
XXXX and any beer made by Lion Nathan.
To use this keg coupler, just slide the coupling over the
top of the keg and engage the handle on the keg coupler.
This is the most common keg coupler type in Australia
and approximately 45% of kegs in Australia would use
this coupling type.
A-Type Keg
A-Type Coupler
D-Type
Also known as an American Sankey, this type of keg is
used by VB, Carlton Draught, and any beers made by
Carlton United Breweries.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of
the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to
tap the keg.
About 40% of kegs in Australia would use this coupling.
D-Type Keg
D-Type Coupler
S-Type
This keg coupler is often confused with the D‐type keg
coupling. It looks very similar however the “well” in the
middle of the coupling is slightly deeper. These kegs are
used by Asian, American, and other imported beers such
as Asahi and Heineken.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of
the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to
tap the keg.
About 10% of kegs in Australia use this coupling.
