VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
•
If the unit will not be used for several months, unplug the
power cord, clean and dry the interior thoroughly and
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
•
When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet. Thoroughly clean the interior and secure
all loose items by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure the unit in
an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect
the outside of the unit with a blanket, or similar item.

PROPER CLEANING OF BEVERAGE COOLER
Your beverage cooler’s beverage dispensing system needs
regular cleaning and sterilization in order to continue serving
draft beer with its pure brewery flavor. It is recommended that
the delivery lines be cleaned weekly and the entire delivery
system cleaned before a new keg is attached. This is a
relatively simple task. You will need the following parts to
clean your unit’s dispensing system. These parts are
available at any draft beer dispensing equipment supplier.
One such supplier is Micro Matic. They can be reached at
www.micromatic.com or call them toll free at (866) 291-5756.

Before removing the beverage hose from the tap or from
the coupler, make sure the remaining beverage in the
