SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
Before using this appliance, it must be properly positioned and
installed as described in this manual, so please read carefully. To
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the
appliance, follow these basic precautions.
•Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied, do not use an
adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
•It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be
used. Do not use outlets that can be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids and do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.
Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING
•Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury.
•To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must
be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with
temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be
installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water
spray or drips.
•The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat
sources or in areas of extreme cold.
•The appliance must be installed in accordance with state and local codes. A
standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local ordinances is
required.
•Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of appliance.
•The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
•It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You
may need to make several adjustments to level it.

•Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not just problems of the past, junked
or abandoned appliances are still dangerous. When no longer using your old
kegerator, take off the door and leave the shelves in place so that children
may not climb inside easily.
•Do not use solvent-based cleansers or abrasives on the interior as they may
damage or discolor the interior.
•Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
•If the appliance is going to be used in an area that is prone to power
surges/outages, it is suggested that you use a power surge protector. The
surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to
protect the appliance it is connected to. Damages due to power surges are
not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product
warranty.
•The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or
dangling to prevent accidental injury. Never unplug the appliance by pulling
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord with cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be
careful not to damage the power cord.
•Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who
lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or
training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

propellant in this appliance.
•This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications
such as:
1.Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
2.Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
3.Bed and breakfast type environments;

manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid
hazard.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE:
•Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
•Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•This appliance is designed for free standing installation.
•Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it
is fully loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the
bottom of the unit.
•When moving your kegerator, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
•Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption.
•The kegerator should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is
less than 90 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than the lowest temperature you
want to store your kegs at. If the ambient temperature is lower than the set
temperature, the internal temperature will match the ambient temperature.
•Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
•Plug the kegerator into an exclusive, properly installed and 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
electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or
authorized products service center.
•After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down
for 3 to 4 hours before placing a keg or any other items in the appliance.

Guardrail Installation
•Take the guardrail and place its feet into the pilot holes in the top of the
cabinet.

CO2 Regulator Installation
The purpose of the CO2 regulator is to allow you to control the gas flowing

1. Attach the CO2 regulator to the cylinder by turning the regulator nut onto
cylinder valve, making sure a washer is securely inserted before connecting
the nut.
2. Tighten the CO2 Inlet nut using an adjustable wrench (not supplied) to
assure there are no leaks.
3. Once you are ready to tap your keg (see page 18 ), open the pressure
adjustment knob.
4. The pressure gauge monitors low internal keg pressure and should be
adjusted to 10-12 PSI.
Note: If the PSI reaches higher than 12, use the pressure release valve to lower
excess CO2 being held in the regulator.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The kegerator should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is
between 32-100 degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or
below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example,
placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior
temperatures to fluctuate.
When you first plug in your Newair Kegerator, the LED display will show the
“live” cabinet temperature in Fahrenheit and the thermostat will be set to 41
degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). The operating panel includes several
other features to operate and control the temperature of the kegerator:
Press either button once and release to enter the SET mode; the LED
display will begin to flash and show the previous temperature setting, signifying
that the temperature is ready to be adjusted
Each press of either button will increase or decrease the temperature
incrementally by one degree Fahrenheit or Celsius until the desired
temperature is reached, between 32-75 degrees Fahrenheit (0-24 degrees
Celsius) NOTE: After a button is pressed, the display will flash for 5 seconds
before returning to displaying the internal temperature of the cabinet
Press the button to alternate the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius;
the corresponding pilot light adjacent to the selector will illuminate to signify
which temperature mode has been selected for display
If you are going on vacation, you may leave the kegerator operating during
vacations of less than three weeks. If the appliance will not be used for several
months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry
the interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly,
blocking it open if necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event of a power failure, any modified settings will be lost
and the default settings will be restored once the power resumes.
