INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Before Using Your Beer Dispenser 

 

Remove the exterior and interior packing. 

 

Before connecting the Beer Dispenser to the power source, let it stand upright for 
approximately 2 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. 

 

Installation of Your Beer Dispenser 

 

This  appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or 
built-in. 

 

Place your kegerator on a flat surface that is strong enough to support the beer 
dispenser when it is fully loaded.  

 

Allow 3 inches of space between the back and sides of the beer dispenser, which 
allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. 

 

Locate the beer dispenser 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 beer dispenser not to perform properly. This unit is not 
designed for outside installation (i.e. garages, porches, etc.) 

 

Avoid locating the Beer Dispenser in moist areas.  

 

Plug the Beer Dispenser into an exclusive, properly installed-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 grounding should be directed 
toward a certified electrician or an authorized Vinotemp repair technician. 

 

After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 
hours before placing any contents in the Beer Dispenser compartment. 

 

Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance 
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The 
unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to 
reverse the opening direction, please see below instructions: 

1.

 

Be very careful when tilting appliance to side to get bottom door hinge. 

2.

 

Undo the three screws in each bracket using a Philips screwdriver (not 
included). 

3.

 

Remove the screws and bracket from cabinet and set aside for later use. 

4.

 

Slide the fridge door down about 6” and off the top hinge pin. Lift away from 
cabinet body. 

5.

 

Using a flathead screwdriver (not included), remove the pin from the top 
bracket. Replace it in the hinge bracket on the opposite side. 

6.

 

Remove the screw from the bottom of the fridge door on the side where bracket 
is to be re-fitted and replace on other side of door (where bracket was 
previously removed from). 

7.

 

Carefully  slide  the  fridge  door  back  on  to  the  top  hinge,  making  sure  it’s  the 
right way up. Screw the bottom hinge into place on the new side. 

8.

 

Check that door is aligned horizontally and vertically and that the seals are 
closed on all sides before finally tightening the bottom hinge. Re-adjust the 
leveling feet as needed. 

9.

 

If cooler has been on its side or tilted, always wait several hours before 
reconnecting to power source to allow the refrigerants to settle.
