Installation Instructions
BEFORE USE:
Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 8 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
This appliance is designed for freestanding use. If you are going to put it under a countertop, you must leave 2"
of unobstructed space around the unit for heat dissipation.
Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
appliance, adjust the rolling casters at the bottom of the unit.
When moving your refrigerator, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit to perform improperly. The optimal ambient temperature range is 65°F -
80°F. Do not mount the draft tower remotely, as the exposed beer line will not be refrigerated, causing foam.
Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or authorized products service center.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 3 to 4 hours before installing a
keg in the appliance.
Setting Temperature
The Kegco Kegerator is able to maintain the proper dispensing temperature for beer, provided it is installed correctly in
the proper environment. The kegerator should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature range is between
65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be
affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
For best results, mount the draft tower as close to the top of the kegerator as possible and seal any openings to prevent
heat transfer. Avoid opening and closing the door of the kegerator too often to ensure a consistent temperature inside
the unit. Beer is dispensed best between 32°F - 38°F (1°C - 3.3°C). If it is kept below or above that range, you may
experience foam issues.
To start, turn the temperature control knob to the maximum
setting (6) to achieve coldest position quickly. The temperature
range of the thermostat goes from 34°F to 45°F (2.2°C to 7.2°C).
Thereafter, adjust the thermostat to desired temperature range.
To turn off the Beer Dispenser, turn the control knob to the “OFF”
position.
There is no need to defrost the Beer Dispenser. Defrost water
collects and passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a
tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
NOTE:
Keep a thermometer handy and adjust temperature control setting as necessary according to your needs.
If you are going on vacation, you may leave the kegerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If the
appliance will not be used for several months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
