Attach the end of the air line (coloured) hose provided to the hose connection on the side of the coupler. Ensure that the check valve is inserted into the connection, number 4 on the image below.
If, after assembly, beer will not flow, ensure that the check valve has a small hole in it. If there is no hole in the check valve then CO_2 cannot enter the line and the beer will not flow.
Connecting the Beer Tower to the Coupler
- Ensure all washers are properly inserted into the coupler, as per below image.
- Ensure the valve spool plastic rod is in place inside the coupler, number 2 on the below image.
- Place the wing nut attached to the end of the beer line into the top of the coupler, turning until tight.
If, after assembly, the beer is very foamy, it most likely means that a connection in the coupler is leaking and air is entering the lines. Double check all connections in the coupler and replace the washers from the accessory bag as necessary.

- Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the keg cooler, and remove the contents.
- Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
- Wash the shelves and stand with a mild detergent solution.
- Wipe down any electrical controls with a dry cloth.
- Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CLEANING YOUR BEER LINES
Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized sugar build up which forms on the fittings, lines and taps commonly referred to as “beerstore”. If the “beerstore” is not completely removed in a cleaning process it will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms which will cause an undesirable flavour and/or cause the beer to go flat. Sufficient “beerstore” will also lead to dispense problems ranging from ‘wild’ beer (too much foam) to flat beer, regardless of the carbonation levels or quality (age) of the beer in the keg.
Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of “beerstore” protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals. The dispenser (beer) line should be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other keg - which ever comes first. The dispenser faucet should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to every use if not used on a regular basis.
Note: If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually indicative that it may require cleaning. DO NOT apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will likely lead to damaging the handle or faucet, and will not be covered by your warranty.
A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings. Line cleaning kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department.
For more information please call 1-800-26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629).
