The dimensions of your unit are: Make sure the available space is adequate.
Instructions for Building-In Find the mid-point: From left to right the width is about 24¼". From back to front, the dimension is about 25⅜". Therefore the mid-point is located wherever these coordinates cross each other. Use a pencil or marker to note this spot. Note: 12⅛ inches from left to midpoint. 12⅛ inches from right to mid-point 12-11/16 inches from front to mid-point. Drill a round hole: Place a drill bit on the mid-point and make a round hole with a diameter of 1 ⅞".

wheels will keep the unit from moving if you step on the foot brakes (See Figure 2): 2. Install the beer tower assembly and the mixed ball valve: a) Plug the beer tower assembly into the top cover of the beer dispenser: 3.0” tower: This does not require a tower buckle. Put beer tower directly over the hole at the top of the beer dispenser’s upper surface. Fix the beer tower assembly with screws directly on the upper surface of the beer dispenser. (See Fig. 3). 2.5” tower: This requires the tower buckle.
d) Place the CO2 tank and CO2 regulator valve component into the cabinet and fix the CO2 tank with tank bracket and bolt (See Figure 8). 4. Install the beer keg: Place the beer keg into the cabinet and firmly connect the keg’s opening to the connection port of the mixed ball valve (See Figure 10). Note: To place a keg into the cabinet, use the keg handle to move the keg to the front of the open beer dispenser, then carefully tip the keg so that the raised bottom edge contacts the edge of the cabinet.
OPERATION Control Panel The control panel is located just above the door, and looks like this: DOWN: Lowers UP: Raises temperature temperature Display module Fahrenheit/Celsius switching Rapid cooling Setting the Temperature Adjust the DOWN or UP button on the control panel until the display module shows the desired temperature. The display module shows the set temperature, and the temperature-controlled range varies from 32 to 50°F (0 to 10°C). The display module shows 5°C at the initial power up.
Automatic Defrosting There is usually no need to defrost the beer dispenser because the ice deposited on the inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of the unit, check that the drain trough is not clogged.
5. Hold the glass steady at a 45° angle. When it is 2/3 full, start straightening the glass. Proper foam should be a tight, creamy head and the collar on an average glass should be 3/4" to 1" high. Note: It is normal to see condensation forming on the tap. It is caused by the difference in temperature between the cold beer and the inner surfaces of the tap when beer is flowing through the line. Understanding Beer Temperature The recommended temperature for serving chilled beer is between 38° and 43°F.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BEER DISPENSER Cleaning To optimize cooling and to save energy at the same time, dust the back of the beer dispenser periodically. The interior should be cleaned regularly. Use a soft towel or sponge that has been dampened in a solution of mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth.
