Assembly Instructions
CO2 Cylinder Support Installation
Install the cylinder support onto the four studs located on the exterior back wall of the
cabinet. No tools are required, simply align the holes in the cylinder support with the studs
and push down firmly.
Tower Gasket Installation
Before installation the beer tower, position the rubber beer tower gasket directly on top of
the cabinet, aligning the four holes in the gasket with the four holes on the cabinet.
Beer Tower Installation
After installation the tower gasket, unravel the beer line hose from the tower and insert the
beer line and nut through the gasket and into the tower. Align the four holes in the base of
the beer tower with the gasket and the bayonet. The beer faucet should be facing the front
of the cabinet. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the beer tower to the cabinet with the four
mechanical screws provided. Tighten firmly.
Protective Plate (Pre-Installed)
To prevent the floor of the keg cooler cabinet from being unnecessarily damaged, the
protective plate should always be installed when the keg stand is being used. The protective
plate also makes it easier to install and remove the keg and the keg stand.
Installing the Beer Keg and Beer Keg Stand
The keg stand requires only 30 liters (1/4 barrel) of "pony" style kegs. To install, position the
keg stand directly in front of the open kegerator cabinet. Then, using the proper lifting
technique, carefully lift the beer keg by the handles and place it onto the keg stand.
Brace your knees behind the keg stand and grasp the keg stand handles. Lift the front of the

- 9 -
keg stand so that the front edge rests on the keg cooler's front edge. Grasp the front keg
stand handles and carefully slide the keg stand all the way into the keg cooler.
Operation Instructions
The kegerator should be placed at an ambient temperature between 32-100 degrees
Fahrenheit. The unit's performance may be affected if the ambient temperature is above or
below this range. For example, placing your team in extremely cold or hot conditions may
cause the interior temperatures to fluctuate.
When you first plug in your 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

- 10 -
ready to be adjusted. Each depression of either ▲▼button will increase or decrease the
temperature incrementally by one degree Fahrenheit or Celsius until the desired
temperature is reached between 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit (2-8 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.
Beer Temperature
Correct and consistent temperature is important when storing and dispensing draft beer.
Beer will start to freeze at 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 degrees Celsius), so selecting and
maintaining proper operating temperatures inside the kegerator cabinet is essential. The
optimum temperature range for serving cold beer is between 36 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit
(2-4 degrees Celsius). Temperatures that are too warm or too cold can cause flavor loss,
off-tastes, and dispensing problems. Periodically monitor the temperature inside of your
kegerator and adjust as necessary, and keep the keg cooler door closed as much as
possible to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Kegerator maintenance:
• Ice build-up will defrost automatically, so there is no need to defrost the refrigerator.
• Defrost water that collects inside the drain trough and passes through a drain outlet in the
rear wall into a drain pan above the compressor, where it will evaporate.

- 11 -
• If you do not intent to use the appliance for long periods of time, disconnect the power cord,
clean the appliance, and leave the door slightly open to help prevent mold and mildew from
accumulating inside of the cabinet.
Cleaning your kegerator:
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
• Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before
cleaning.
• It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the
longevity of the product.
Moving your kegerator:
• Remove the keg and any other items you may have inside the unit.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance and tape the door shut.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
• Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
