FINAL PREPARATION  
•All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot soapy water. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive  
cloths, cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot,  
wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other  
metal tool to scrape stainless steel; scratches are almost impossible to remove.  
GENERAL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS  
•After making a temperature change, allow 24 hours for your unit to reach a new temperature setting.  
•The motor will start and stop often. It must do this to maintain the temperature you select.  
•Unplug the appliance before working on anything with the electrical system.  
•Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill can occur.  
•For all cleaning, mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart warm water or use mild soapy and water solution. Do  
not use strong cleaners or scouring powder or pads.  
•Keep your appliance out of direct sunlight.  
•Do not splash or spray water on or under the unit.  
•Clean you appliances condenser periodically to maintain proper cooling performance.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance is equipped with a three prong grounding plug for your protection against  
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong  
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SETTING THE CONTROL  
NOTE: The control is factory set for the ideal draft beer temperature - 38 F (3.3 C).  
(Temperature setting may need adjustments depending on ambient temperature.)  
o
o
Initially set the cold control knob midway between the numbers. Allow at least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before  
making any adjustments to the initial temperture setting The higher the number, the cooler the temperature.  
The temperature control knob is located at the bottom front of the cabinet, just behind the square opening near the  
middle of the grill.  
o
o
o
Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold - preferably around 38 F (3.3 C). Temperatures above 45 F  
o
(7.2 C) may cause the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy. Draft beer should be consumed within 30 days, as it  
is not pasteurized and loses its original brewery fresh taste and aroma the older it gets.

HOW TO DRAW THE PERFECT GLASS OF BEER  
2. After the glass has reached half full,  
gradually bring the glass to an  
upright position.  
1. Start with a clean beer glass that has been  
wetted in cold water. Place the glass at a  
o
45 angle, one inch below the faucet. Do  
.
not let the glass touch the faucet Open  
the faucet all the way.  
4. Close the faucet completely and  
quickly.  
3. Let the remaining beer run straight down  
the middle. This insures proper release of  
CO by producing a 3/4” to 1” foam  
2
head.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Condenser  
The condenser tubing under the cabinet for forced air units does not require frequent cleaning. However, satisfactory  
cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the condenser. Be sure that nothing obstructs the air flow openings in  
the lower front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser for  
efficient performance by unscrewing the grill on the bottom front of the cabinet.  
Cabinet  
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use  
abrasive scouring powders.  
Interior and Door Gasket  
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of warm water.  
Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
