1. To install the CO
2
gas line tube to the regulator, attach one end of the CO
2
tube,
to the hose barb connection on the CO
2
regulator. Secure the tube by using one of
the two self-locking red plastic snap-on clamps. With a pair of pliers or a clamp
crimper, snap the red clamp on tightly. This ensures that there are no leaks.
2. Remove the plug located at the exterior back. Save it for later in case you decide
to convert the unit into an “all refrigerator.” Run the other end of the CO
2
tubing
through the open hole through the inside of the cabinet.
3. Insert a washer (if provided in the kit) into the regulator to cylinder attachment
nut. This step is only required if the regulator does not have a gasket.
4. Make sure the CO
2
tank is full and that the valve is closed. Now attach the CO
2
regulator to the CO
2
cylinder by screwing the loose golden regulator nut into the
CO
2
cylinder valve and tighten with an adjustable wrench.
5. Insert the CO
2
tank into the CO
2
holder inside the cabinet. The CO
2
holder is
located on top of the compressor step in the back of the inside of the cabinet.

Installing the Keg Coupler Tapping the Beer
Note: your CO
2
cylinder is shipped empty. When you purchase your first keg of beer,
have your beer distributor fill the CO
2
cylinder. If they are unable to recommend a
company, another option is to look in your phone book under Fire Extinguishers or
Fire and Safety Equipment; companies that refill fire extinguishers are typically
willing to to fill CO
2
cylinders. Although price will vary with each market area, the
average cost for filling a 5 Lb CO
2
gas cylinder is $14.

2
