Drain Instructions:

On direct draws, the drain is located at the front of the cabinet. (UDD1 & UDD1S drain into a bottle located inside the unit) To plumb in the drain, connect 12 " PVC pipe to the barbed fitting supplied with the unit. If you would prefer to drain the beer inside the unit (for mobility or where a drain can't be found):

• Use a screwdriver to remove the drain bracket.
• Pull the drain hose so that it is inside the unit.
• Attach a bottle to the drain hose inside the unit.
• Plug the created hole at the bottom of the unit

Startup

• Dial temperature controls set at the no. 4 position gives refrigerators an approximate temperature of 35^ . Digital temperature controls are programmed to operate between 33^ and 40^ with no adjustments. Allow unit to function several hours, completely cooling the cabinet before changing the control settings.
• Excessive tampering with the control could lead to service difficulties. Should it ever become necessary to replace temperature control, be sure it is ordered from your Avantco dealer or recommended service agent.
• Good air flow in your unit is critical. Be careful to load product so that it neither presses against the back wall, nor comes within four inches of the evaporator housing. Refrigerated air off the coil must circulate down the back wall.

RECOMMENDATION:

Before loading product, we recommend you run your Avantco unit empty for 2-3 days. This allows you to be sure the electrical wiring and installation are correct and no shipping damage has occurred. Remember, the Ready Kitchen Warranty does not cover product loss!

Adjusting Temperature

Your new refrigerator is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments.

Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:

Temperature Ranges from (7) Coldest to (1) Warmest

8:00 set

Digital Control Units

• Hold "SET" for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press "SET" again to save your settings.

Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations.

Defrost System:

Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated. Automatic defrost timers automatically initiate at pre-set intervals and for a pre-determined duration.

Temperature

Correct temperature is a key factor to consider when storing and dispensing draft beer. Too cool or too warm may cause flavor loss and dispensing problems.

Tips on Controlling Temperature

• Keep a thermometer handy.
• Monitor temperature of draft both inside your cooler and at the tap.
• Keep the cooler door(s) closed as much as possible to avoid temperature fluctuation.
• Regular maintenance will help identify potential problems before they become definite problems.

Pressure

Dispensing pressures differ according to:

• The type of draft dispensing system
• The length of draft dispensing line
• The actual draft product
• The temperature of the draft product
- The pressurizing agent: Compressed air, CO2, or specially blended gasses.

Tips on Maintaining Correct Temperature

• Research which pressurizing agent works best with your product and why.
- Monitor your regulators to ensure applied pressure remains constant.
- Keep equipment in good repair.

Tapping

• Do not agitate the kegs unnecessarily.
• If excessive agitation occurs, allow kegs to settle for 1-2 hours before tapping.
• Prior to tapping the keg, ensure that all beer faucets in the serving location are in the off position.
• Completely remove the dust cover (identification cap) from the keg.

Storage & Handling

Draft beer should be treated as a food product. In most instances draft beer is not pasteurized. It is very important that you store and handle it properly. Follow these steps to ensure the highest quality, safety, and consumer satisfaction.

• Draft beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated cabinet.
• Draft beer products have a recommended shelf life. If you have questions regarding the shelf life of any of your draft products, please consult with your supplying depot or respective brewery representative.
• Kegs should be stored separately from food products. If your cooler is used to refrigerate draft and food products, it is very important that the food not be stored near or on the kegs.
• Keg storage and dispensing areas should be kept clean to prevent any possibility of contaminating your products.

Knockout CO₂ Installation

These are the recommended procedures for installing a remote CO2 container in your Avantco unit.

Tools: Pliers | Power Drill | Silicone Sealer | 1/2" Drillbit

1. Remove black knockout plug with pliers. (See images below for plug locations).
2. Use drill with 1/2" bit to bore a whole straight back through wall into compressor compartment.
3. Snake CO2 line through hole, down and around, exiting behind rear caster underneath grill.
4. Seal hole around CO2 line with silicone sealer to prevent cold air leakage. *Depending on setup and amount of kegs, a CO2 manifold may be needed.

NOTE: In models UDD1 & UDD1S, the CO2 tank (up to 5 lbs. in size) can be placed inside the cooler to maintain complete mobility.

CAUTION: CO2 tanks are potentially dangerous because of the pressure they contain. If you are unfamiliar with their use or the use of a CO2 regulator, seek information from your local distributor, or beverage man before proceeding.

Cleaning Bar System

Draft dispensers, regardless of design, must be cleaned at least every two weeks. Flushing the lines with water only is not enough.

Tools: Pliers | Power Drill | Silicone Sealer | 1/2" Drillbit

Cleaning:

1. Prepare cleaning solution as stated on container.
2. Disconnect tap from keg.
3. Remove beer faucet, unscrew handle and remove valve assembly.
4. Put tap and faucet parts in bucket with cleaning solution to soak.
5. Use brush to clean faucet parts.
6. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
7. Fill pump bottle with line cleaning solution.
8. Attach hose from pump bottle to beer column tap outlet (be sure rubber gasket is in place to prevent leakage). Allow tap to drain into bucket.
9. Pump solution (2-3 times) from bottle through the line until it starts to flow out of the other end. Wait 10 minutes while cleaning solution works on the lines.
10. Pump excess solution through lines.
11. Rinse bucket, pump bottle and hose thoroughly with clean, cool water.
12. Fill pump bottle with clean, cool water and pump through lines until water runs clear.
13. When crystal clear water comes through, you're ready to assemble and reattach the faucet and re-tap the keg.
14. Draw the water from the beer line.
15. Done!

NOTE: Keeping your dispenser and all its parts clean and odor free in conjunction with regular maintenance will get maximum life out of your dispenser.

Stainless Steel Equipment Care & Instructions

CAUTION: Do not use any steel wool, abrasive, or chlorine based products to clean stainless steel surfaces.

Stainless Steel Destroyers

There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel's outer defenses and allow corrosion to develop.

1. Scratches - Wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be abrasive to stainless steel's surface.
2. Deposits - You may have hard or soft water depending on what part of the country you live in. Hard water can leave spots. Hard water that is heated can leave deposits if left to sit too long. These deposits can cause the outer layer to break down and rust your stainless steel. All deposits left from food prep or service should be removed as soon as possible.
3. Chlorides - Present in table salt, food, and water, chlorides eat away at the protective layer surrounding stainless steel. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst types of chlorides.

Preventing Rust on Stainless Steel:

1. Use the Correct Cleaning Tools

Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning. The stainless steel's outer layer will not be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads.

2. Clean Along the Grain

Polishing lines or grain are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel to these visible lines on stainless steel using a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth. If no lines are visible, use a soft touch with a soft cloth or plastic scouring pad.

3. Use Alkaline, Alkaline Chlorinated, or Non-Chloride Containing Cleaners

While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, commercial suppliers are providing an ever increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. One of the best is Noble Chemical Excel Stainless Steel Cleaner. If you are not sure of your cleaner's chloride content, contact your cleaner supplier. If they tell you that your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask if they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel, causing pitting and rusting.

4. Water Treatment

To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment.

5. Maintaining the Cleanliness of Your Food Equipment

Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride). Avoid build-up of hard stains by cleaning frequently. When boiling water with your stainless steel equipment, the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating any cleaners containing chlorides will have the same damaging effects.

6. Rinse & Dry

When using chlorinated cleaners, you must rinse and wipe dry immediately. It is better to wipe standing cleaning agents and water as soon as possible. Allow the stainless steel equipment to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the passivity film on the stainless steel.

7. NEVER USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID ON STAINLESS STEEL

8. Regularly Restore/Passivate Stainless Steel
