Enclose 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. Similarly to leaving the kegerator door open, an
improper seal can result in kegerator performance issues such as temperature
inconsistency, foam problems, and excessive frost build up in certain cases.
To close the opening you will need to run a short connecting tube from the cabinet to the
countertop. There is not an accessory included for this connection with the unit. Common
materials for this connection include PVC pipe, insulated pipe tubing, or rubber lining
material. It is important to form a seal between the kegerator cabinet opening and the bottom
surface of the countertop. If you use PVC or foam tubing, your sealing apparatus may extend
from the interior of the kegerator cabinet up through the countertop and into the base of the
faucet tower.
Note: This installation tip applies to front vented, built-in capable kegerator models only.
Improper installation of a kegerator that is not intended for a built in application will result in
damage to your appliance.
