Frequently Asked Questions - HC24TB-4-1R-1 Perlick

How do I install the beer dispenser under a counter?

Ensure the unit has proper ventilation (front grille). Leave at least 2 inches of clearance on sides and back. Level the unit using the adjustable feet. Connect the water line for the cold plate if applicable. Plug into a dedicated 115V outlet.

What type of beer kegs are compatible?

This dispenser works with standard 1/2 barrel, 1/4 barrel, and 1/6 barrel kegs using appropriate couplers (D or S system included). Also compatible with some European kegs with conversion adapters.

How do I clean the beer lines and faucets?

Disconnect the keg and flush lines with a beer line cleaning solution (e.g., BLC). Soak faucets in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with water before reconnecting. Perform cleaning every 2-4 weeks.

Why is my beer not cold enough?

Check that the temperature controller is set between 34°F and 40°F. Ensure the cooling fan is running and the condenser coils are clean. Allow at least 24 hours after first plugging in for full cooling.

How do I replace a faulty faucet?

Turn off CO2 and disconnect the beer line from the faucet shank. Unscrew the faucet from the shank (usually hand-tight). Install the new faucet by screwing it on and reconnect the beer line. Test for leaks.

The dispenser is leaking water. What should I do?

Check the drain pan for clogs. Ensure the unit is level. Inspect the cold plate water supply line for cracks. Verify the drip tray gasket is seated properly. If leak persists, contact Perlick customer service.

What is the recommended CO2 pressure?

For most lagers: 10-12 PSI. For ales: 12-14 PSI. For stouts: 25-30 PSI (with nitrogen blend). Adjust using the regulator gauge. Always use a CO2 safety relief valve.

How often should I replace the CO2 tank?

A 5 lb CO2 tank typically lasts 2-4 months depending on usage. Replace when pressure drops below 300 PSI. Use only food-grade CO2.

Can I install this unit outdoors?

This model is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor installation may void warranty and cause performance issues due to temperature extremes and moisture.

Where can I find spare parts like the beer tower or drip tray?

Authorized Perlick dealers or online retailers like WebstaurantStore or PartsFe carry replacement parts. Use model HC24TB-4-1R-1 for accurate fit.

PERLICK RESIDENTIAL UNDERCOUNTER INSTALLATION MANUAL

PREPARING THE SPACE

CAUTION If the unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommended that the countertop be supported by surrounding cabinetry and use shims to support countertop directly above the refrigerated cabinet.

CAUTION Make sure the floor under the unit is level with the surrounding finished floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood, cardboard, or some other suitable material before moving the unit into place. Failure to do this may result in damage to the floor.

PLACING THE CABINET

To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate through the machinery compartment. Do not place anything in front of the cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.

NOTICE

Cabinet should be leveled front to back then side to side

1). Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for the unit. See chart below for finished rough opening requirements:

HP15 15" Signature Series
Height Depth Width
34 3/8' minimum,35-1/2' maximum	24" 15"
HP24 24" Signature Series
Height Depth Width

2). Check that the following are level and square:

• Front and interior opening
  • Installation opening and floor surface
• Countertop bottom front edge

NOTE: The floor under the unit must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor.

⚠️ CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the countertop, do not place heavy objects on countertop directly over unit.

INSTALLING THE UNIT

1) Plug the unit into the 15 amp grounded electrical outlet located within the installation opening. With power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and cooling functions operate properly. Turn off the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.
2) With all surfaces in the installation opening square and level, refer to Figure 4 on page 7 and perform the following steps to level the unit:

- At the front of the opening, measure from the floor to the bottom of the front edge of the countertop.

• Measure from the floor surface to the top of the unit at the rear corners.
• Adjust the unit legs so these two measurements are equal. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it.

NOTE: Legs should not extend more than 3/4" from the bottom of the unit.

Figure 4. Leveling the Unit

5) Check interior door openings to make sure the unit is level and square. Install shelving and/or drawers. Place the slide brackets squarely into the bracket grooves.

TOE PLATE INSTALLATION

Once the unit is secured in place, install the louvered toe plate. Secure the plate by snapping the latch into the latch catch on the unit, and re-attach screws using through holes provided in the toe kick. A phillips #2 screwdriver, with a 3" long shaft will be required. (Figure 5).

CAUTION The toe plate must be removed to service the unit. The floor cannot interfere with removal, and the louvered sections must not be covered or obstructed. Obstructions could prevent proper air circulation, which may damage the unit.

NOTE: To achieve maximum performance, interior louver openings and fan guard openings should never be obstructed.
