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. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician.
This appliance requires a standard 110~120 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-
prong ground.
Do not use outlet adaptors if unit. No other appliance should be plugged into the
same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
When dispensing keg draft beer, the goal is to keep the CO
2
level prescribed by the
brewer. Any change in the CO
2
level will alter the taste, pouring characteristics and
appearance of the beer.
Most breweries in the U.S. recommend a CO
2
pressure between 12-14 lbs for Ale and
Lager types of draft beers. This CO
2
pressure will maintain the level of carbonation
specified by the brewery.
If you are unsure what the recommended CO
2
pressure is for the beer you are dispensing,
simply inquire with the company you are purchasing your kegs from. If they do not
know, they can make a quick call to the beer distributor or brewery to find out this
information for you.
If the draft beer is dispensed with too low of a pressure, the CO
2
that is dissolved in the
beer will “break out” of the beer. Initially this will cause the small bubbles of broken out
CO
2
to float up the beer hose which will result in foamy beer. And over time the low
pressure will result in flat beer.
If the draft beer is dispensed with too high of a pressure, over time more CO
2
will be
absorbed into the beer. Initially, this will not cause any problems, but over time this will
result in over-pressurized foamy beer.
