CLEANING YOUR KEG COOLER
• Turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the keg cooler, and remove the contents.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and stand with a mild detergent solution.
• Wipe down any electrical controls with a dry cloth.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth.
CLEANING YOUR BEER LINES
Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized sugar build up which forms on
the fi ttings, lines and taps commonly referred to as “beerstore”. If the “beerstore” is not completely
removed in a cleaning process it will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms
which will cause an undesirable fl avour and/or cause the beer to go fl at. Suffi cient “beerstore” will
also lead to dispense problems ranging from ‘wild’ beer (too much foam) to fl at beer, regardless of the
carbonation levels or quality (age) of the beer in the keg.
Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up
of “beerstore” protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals.
The dispenser (beer) line should be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other
keg - which ever comes fi rst. The dispenser faucet should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to
every use if not used on a regular basis.
Note:
If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually indicative that it may require
cleaning.
DO NOT
apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will likely lead to damaging
the handle or faucet, and will not be covered by your warranty.
A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings. Line cleaning
kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department.

VACATION
Short Vacations -
Leave the keg cooler operating during vacations of less than three (3) weeks.
Long Vacations -
If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all contents and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly.
MOVING YOUR KEG COOLER
• Remove all the contents.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your keg cooler.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the keg cooler stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the
outside of the keg cooler with a blanket or similar item.
