Installation of Accessories Diagram of overall structure Drip tray Soft red CO2 tube Beer keg handle Beer keg Installation components Tap handle Draft beer tap CO2 tank bracket and bolt CO2 hose clamp Installation steps 1. Install universal wheels: Lock braking guidelines for universal wheels with foot brakes (See Figure 1): Install the two universal wheel washers at the front of the cabinet base, and then install two universal wheels without foot brakes.
installed these rear 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.
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. Leave the door open for a while to allow the unit to dry thoroughly before turning the power back on.
DISPOSING OF A WORN-OUT APPLIANCE • When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. • Before you dispose of an old appliance: Take the door or doors off but leave • • • • any shelves or drawers in place so that children cannot easily climb inside. The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances that should be recycled separately.
DRAFT BEER TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Correction Beer is cloudy: The beer in the glass appears hazy and not clear. Excessively low temperatures may cause hazy or cloudy beer, particularly when the beer lies in the cold coil for long periods of time. Drain a few ounces before drinking. Glasses may not have been cleaned properly. Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have contained milk or any other fatty substance.
Beer has off taste: Often bitter and bite-y; sometimes completely lacking flavor and zest. It may also have an oily or foul odor which may carry an unpleasant taste. Improper cleaning of the tap Brush and clean the tap properly. It should be scoured using a detergent, then rinsed clean. Contaminated air line Beer tube should be examined. If contaminated, it should be replaced. Condensation is forming on the tap. It is normal to see condensation forming on the tap.
