CAUTION

Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
- Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 115°F (13 to 46°C).

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

CAUTION

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean (See Figure 1). The use of a custom made grille is not recommended as it may restrict air flow.

Front Grille, keep this area open. Front Leveling Legs Rear Leveling Legs

Figure 1

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 33 ^3/4 " (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ∼) and the maximum, 34 ^3/4 " (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ∼).

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 2).

Electrical Connection

A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances (see Figure 5). If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed.

NOTE

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI's are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE FOR FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS

WARNING

• ALL APPLIANCES CAN TIP RESULTING IN INJURY.
• INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET PACKED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
• FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

WARNING

If your refrigerator is not located under a counter top (free standing), you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the refrigerator is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the refrigerator back into the original location. If the device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the refrigerator tipping over, with the potential for property damage or personal injury.

NOTE

If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).

CAUTION

Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

Floor Mount Installation

The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear corner of the beer dispenser as shown in Figure 6.

Anti-Tip Bracket Leveling Leg 21½" (54.6 cm) Bottom View of Beer dispenser Front of cabinet

Figure 6

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

1) Decide where you want to place the beer dispenser. Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately 14 " (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the beer dispenser is in the desired location, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the beer dispenser out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21½" (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 6.
4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 21½" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 7).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.

CAUTION

The cutout dimensions shown in Figure 23 are based on a 25^5/16 (64.3 cm) deep counter top. Your counter top may be different than this and require other front to back dimensioning. Refer to the product dimensions on page 8 when determining the required dimensions.

1. If you are installing your keg refrigerator under a counter you will need to drill 5 holes in the counter top to mount the tower. The first hole is a 1 12 " diameter hole located at the center of the tower for the beer line, locate approximately 13 12 " (34.3 cm) from the front edge of the counter top (based on a counter top depth of 25 516 "). Next drill the 4 tower mounting holes per the dimensions in Figure 23. The hole diameter is dependent on the counter top material and if screw anchors are required. The screws supplied are in the literature pack and are a #10 x 1" type AB stainless steel screw. After the holes are drilled and the keg refrigerator is in place under the counter top feed the beer line through the tower gasket, the 1 12 " hole in the counter top and the hole in the top of the keg refrigerator. Mount the tower to the counter top with the 4 screws provided.

2. Mount the regulator to the CO _2 tank (connection B) use the new plastic washer you received from the gas supply company. Note that the regulator has left hand threads and has to be turned counterclockwise to tighten. Tighten with the adjustable wrench or the 1 ^1/8 " open end wrench.

3. Connect the red air line(s) from the regulator to the large air line fitting on the keg coupler with a large hose clamp (connection(c)).

4. Connect the clear beer line from the tower to the small air line fitting on the keg coupler with a small hose clamp (connection A).

Start-Up After Long-Term Storage:

1. Connect the unit to electrical power.
2. If stored outside, it is recommended that the unit again be thoroughly inspected per the storage instructions above to address any dirt or debris from the weather and/or animals/insects.
3. Turn unit on and confirm your desired control settings.
4. Allow 24-hrs for the unit to stabilize before loading contents.

Background

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.

Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that provides an invisible protective film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide film on the surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

Care & Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).

It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.

Typically the most effective and efficient means for routine cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Although some products are called "stainless steel cleaners," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide film), and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the finish.

Note: Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.

Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Door alignment:

The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the appliance. If alignment is necessary the door may be adjusted by loosening the 2 screws which secure the door adjustment bracket on the bottom of the door (see Figure 41a) and adjusting the door side to side. Use a 532 " allen wrench for this procedure. (See Figure 41 below). When finished aligning the door, tighten the screws securely.

Door should be parallel to top and sides of the appliance. Figure 41

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance beneath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
