UNPACKING ACCESSORIES AND INVENTORY Your Draft Beer Dispenser is supplied with all the accessories you need to install and tap a standard American Sankey Tap ½ barrel keg. This unit can also fit ¼ barrel, 1/6 barrel, and Cornelius kegs with standard American Sankey Tap connections. All you need to do is set up the Draft Beer Dispenser, supply the full keg of beer, and fill the CO2 tank.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Casters 1. With the contents inside the cabinet removed set the beer dispenser on its side. 2. Insert each caster into the holes on the bottom corners of the cabinet. Screw the casters in hand tight. 3. With all four casters tightened evenly, stand the unit in an upright position. Note: Allow the refrigerator to stand in an upright position for 8 hours before turning on the power. This will ensure that the coolant has settled. Installing the Beer Tower and Faucet 1.
Connecting the CO2 Cylinder to the CO2 Regulator and Installing the CO2 Cylinder Holder Warning CO2 can be dangerous! CO2 cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which can be hazardous if handled improperly. Please handle with care. Note This section describes general CO2 and keg installation. For specific instructions, see the instructions included in the accessory box. 1. To install the CO2 gas line tube to the regulator, attach one end of the CO2 tube, to the hose barb connection on the CO2 regulator.
Your beer dispenser comes with American Sankey Tap. Before purchasing a keg, check with your beer distributor to make sure that supplied American Sankey Tap can be used. Many European beers require a different tap. Please contact EdgeStar customer service online via email at service@edgestar.com or by telephone at 1-866-319-5473 for more information. 1.
OPERATING YOUR FRIDGE & BEER DISPENSER Grounding Instructions This appliance’s plug must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Setting the Regulator EdgeStar’s Draft Beer Dispenser comes with a single gauge CO2 gas regulator that has a 0-60 lb. pressure gauge showing the gas output pressure. Once the regulator is securely attached to the gas cylinder: 1. Close the shut-off valve on the regulator, and open the valve on the cylinder completely. 2. Slowly turn the regulator adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the output gauge.
Dispensing the Beer and Proper Drawing Technique Note: Allow the keg to settle and acclimate to refrigeration for 2-4 hours prior to dispensing beer. Using the proper draw technique to dispense beer should allow you to fill a 12 oz glass leaving approximat ely ¾”-1” of foam. 1. Make sure that the beer dispenser is plugged in properly to a 120V, 60Hz, 15Amp grounded outlet. 2. Rinse a “Beer Clean” glass under cold water. (see below for more information on “Beer Clean”) 3.
Understanding Beer Temperature Select and maintain the proper temperature inside the refrigerator cabinet. This is necessary to maintain the flavor freshness of the beer. Adding additional unrefrigerated products, such as meats, vegetables, fish, etc. while attempting to chill beer will cause a fluctuation in the temperature, resulting in cloudy beer. The recommended temperature for storing and serving chilled beer is between the high 30s and mid 40s.
Understanding the Temperature Control Setting This kegerator has a cooling range of 32-50 °F (0-10 °C). Press the cooler or warmer buttons to adjust temperature by 1°. Press the F/C button to switch between Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press Deep Chill to activate the quick cooling feature of this kegerator. Press the button again to exit Deep Chill mode. Deep Chill should be used to quickly cool a new warm kegerator. The machine will operate continuously for 24 hours and exit this mode after 24 hours.
