Use and Care Guide

Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!

Normal Sounds

Your new kegerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are

normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they

actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may

be making them.

 Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on

top of the kegerator can also make noises.

 The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

 Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.

 As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your

kegerator.

 You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

Defrosting

Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient

conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid

the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible

and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.

If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the

frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.

Preparing the Kegerator for Storage

If the kegerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be

necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.

1. Disconnect the unit from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.

2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant

smells.

Caution: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take

additional precautions such as removing the doors to prevent a child from being trapped

inside the unit!

Important:

 Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.

 Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
