First-Time Operating Instructions Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are removed from the unit. Be sure to keep track of all included parts and pieces before discarding the packaging materials. It is advised that you keep the original box and packaging materials in case you ever need to move or ship the appliance in the future. Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling components time to settle from transit.
Parts Identification Note: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the kegerator.
Internal Fan: This is an air-cooled unit equipped with an internal fan that maintains a consistent internal temperature.
Installation The kegerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The kegerator should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the kegerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Countertop Opening for Dispense Kit Notes: • Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 95° F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered efficiency or cause other adverse effects. • This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g. wind, rain, water spray or drips. • The kegerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other heat sources. • Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the kegerator and the wall or cabinet.
Clearance Requirements Make sure the top cover, guard rail, drip tray, and installation pegs are NOT installed on the top of the cabinet. These items will create an obstacle for the cabinet to be installed under counter. Move the kegerator so the opening on the top of the cabinet is aligned with the opening in the counter.
Seal Space Between Cabinet and Countertop Once the cabinet is installed and the two openings of the cabinet and countertop are aligned, you must seal off the open space that will be created above the kegerator cabinet and under the countertop. If this open space is not properly sealed, the cabinet will lose its cold air and allow warm air to enter.
Electrical Requirements ! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. • Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. • Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. • DO NOT use an extension cord. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Installing the Door Handle To install the door handle: 1. Remove the four screws from the side of the door. This should be the side opposite of the door hinge. 2. Place and align the openings of the handle hinges over the screw holes in the side of the door. 3. Insert and tighten the screws to hold the handle in place. ! Warning: Do not over-tighten the screws as this may cause damage to the handle or the stainless steel door.
Installing the Casters This unit comes with four (4) casters. These are an optional accessary to assemble if you would like to make the unit more mobile. To install the casters: 1. Remove the four leveling legs from the bottom of the unit. 2. Separate the front casters and back casters. The front casters have a lever for a brake lock. 3. Place the top plate of the caster over the area of the removed leveling leg and align the opening to the screw hole openings. 4.
3. Remove the screws from the upper right hinge. Place the upper right hinge in a safe place in case you need to reverse the door in the future. Remove the plastic caps from the upper left hinge corner. Install the upper left hinge by fastening the screws through the left hinge to the cabinet. Insert the plastic caps into the upper right corner. 4. Remove the bottom right support bracket. Remove the plastic caps from the bottom left hinge corner. Insert the plastic caps into the bottom right corner.

Operation Installation Checklist before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the kegerator? 2. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to electricity? And has proper grounding been installed for the kegerator? 3. Has the machine been leveled? 4. Is the kegerator in a site where the ambient temperature is between 50° F and 90° F all year round? 5.
Note: The kegerator is equipped with a temperature memory function. If power is suddenly lost, the previously set temperature will be saved and the Kegerator will return to this setting once power is restored. Allow at least 24 hours before storing your items to allow the setting temperature to be reached. ! Caution: If you turned the unit off, please wait at least 5 minutes before turning it back on. Normal Sounds Your new kegerator may make noise during normal operation.
Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost in 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.
