Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit at the curb for a few days." Before discarding your old appliance:

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes. In the event of any damage: - Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark, - Disconnect from the electrical power line,3 - Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and - Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REGARDING ELECTRICAL MATTERS

1. Do not pull on the power cord when unplugging the machine. Grasp the plug

firmly and pull it straight out of the socket. Do not pull the plug with wet hands.

2. Keep the power cord at the back of the appliance to avoid tripping accidents or

3. If the power cord is damaged or frayed, it must be replaced by a qualified

service professional.

4. Use only a standard three-hole grounded power socket rated above 10A. The

socket should not be shared with other appliances.

5. Be sure the plug fits firmly into the socket and that the socket is grounded.

6. The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended.

7. The beer dispenser requires an AC power supply of 110~120V/60Hz and pulls

a current of over 10A. The fuse or circuit breaker should be rated at 15A.

8. If the leakage of a combustible gas is detected, turn off the gas valve and

open the doors and windows. To reduce the risk of fire caused by a spark, do not pull out the plug of the beer dispenser or of any other electrical device.

cylinder to a regulator! Failure to do so may cause an explosion resulting in possible injury or death when the cylinder valve is opened. Never connect the CO

cylinder directly to the product container. Always keep CO

cylinders away from heat. Store extra cylinders in a cool place (preferably below 70°F). Securely fasten cylinders with a chain in an upright position when storing. Never drop or throw a CO

cylinder. Always check the D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) test date on the cylinder neck before installation. If it has been more than 5 years, do not use. Return the cylinder to your gas supplier.4 Never connect a product container unless there are at least two safety devices in the pressure system: one on the CO

regulator and the other on the product container or in the pressurized gas line. The recommended pressure for the CO

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Tips to save energy and maintain optimum performance: When positioning this unit: If used freestanding, allow 4 inches of clearance on top, at the sides and in the rear for sufficient airflow. Do not use under a bar or counter.5

The SBC635M is designed for dispensing beer only, and is not recommended for storing perishable foods such as meats or dairy products

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for 2 to 3 hours Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. (See Maintenance of the Beer Dispenser.) . This allows the refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and reduces the risk of malfunctions in the cooling system caused by shipping. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. Do not cut or remove the grounding plug! Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

If possible, disconnect the power before changing a keg of beer. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight. Periodically, check that the beer dispenser seals well and that none of the contents prevent the door from closing.

PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION

To ensure that your beer dispenser works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, install it in a location where there are proper air circulation and electrical connections. Choosing the Right Place Choose a location where the beer dispenser will be away from any heat sources and will not be exposed to direct sunlight. Remove all packing materials before using the beer dispenser. Place the machine on a smooth, flat and sturdy surface. Your appliance is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you allow at least 4” of clearance at the sides, rear and top to allow for adequate airflow. Installation The SBC635M beer dispenser meets UL Standard 250 and is suitable for residential use. Applications Connect this appliance to a 3-prong power supply socket (which has a ground terminal). Connecting to Power Supply If you only have a two-prong outlet, have it replaced by a qualified technician with an outlet that meets the local codes

Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage fluctuations with a tolerance of ±10%. Once connected, allow the appliance to operate empty for two to three hours before putting a beer keg inside.7

• During the installation process, be sure that all parts are connected tightly and that there are no gas leaks.

• When connecting the hose to the connection port, you can dip the ends into warm water to make the connection easier.

• If the high-pressure compressed gas in the CO

tank is not handled properly, it could be dangerous: a. Make a note of the D.O.T. testing date on the cylinder neck before installation. If it is more than 5 years old, don’t use the product. Return it to the gas supplier. b. Keep gas cylinder away from heat sources. Unused cylinders should be placed upright in a cool, ventilated place (preferably at 70°F).11 OPERATION The control panel is located just above the door, and looks like this: Control Panel

Adjust the DOWN or UP button on the control panel until the display module shows the desired temperature. Setting the Temperature The display module shows the set temperature, and the temperature-controlled range varies from 32 to 50°F (0 to 10°C). The display module shows 5°C at the initial power up. Each press of the DOWN or UP button decreases or increases the temperature displayed by 1°C (1°F). The optimal temperature for the storage and distribution of beer is 34 - 38°F (1.1 to 3.3°C. You can switch between a Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display by pressing the °F/°C button. When the displayed temperature is in Celsius, the “°C” symbol will be illuminated; with a Fahrenheit display, “°F” will be illuminated. Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit Press the Deep Chill button to enter the Rapid Cooling state. The “rapid cooling” icon on the display module will light and the temperature display will read “00”. After entering the Rapid Cooling mode, the appliance will work continuously for 24 hours and the icon will remain lit. After that time, the icon will turn off and the appliance will return to its former state. ‘Rapid Cooling’ Function You can cancel the Rapid Cooling mode any time during the 24 hour period by simply pressing the Deep Chill button again. Note: The Rapid Cooling function is normally used only for cooling the first keg of beer in the appliance, when that keg is to be used as soon as possible. To prevent over-cooling the beer, do not use Rapid Cooling for succeeding kegs.

DOWN: Lowers UP: Raises Display module Fahrenheit/Celsius Rapid temperature temperature switching cooling12 There is usually no need to defrost the beer dispenser because the ice deposited on the inner back wall is automatically defrosted. Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation. Later on, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of the unit, check that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of flexible wire. During extremely hot and humid weather, some ice may build up. If necessary, remove contents of the beer dispenser, unplug the unit and allow defrosting. A hair dryer may facilitate the process. Automatic Defrosting When the following prompts appear in the display module, there is a failure in the appliance. Although one of the fault conditions occurs, the beer dispenser may still work. However, you should contact our Service Department as soon as possible to obtain advice on handling the situation. Error Prompts Prompt

Fault Temperature sensor failure in the refrigerated zone Defrosting sensor failure in the refrigerator compartment Ambient temperature sensor fault Note: When two or more sensors fail simultaneously, all fault codes will display alternately on the display module. If the ambient temperature and defrost sensors fail, any key may be pressed. The temperature is adjustable. The fault display will be restored after 15 seconds.

• If there is a sound of rushing water when the machine is in use, the noise is caused by the refrigerant flowing in the cooling pipes and running through the compressor. This is a normal phenomenon. Normal Functioning

• The beer dispenser has no heating function. When the temperature is set higher than the ambient temperature, the machine will not run. Follow these steps to dispense beer: Dispensing Beer

1. Make sure the beer dispenser is plugged in properly to a 120V, 60Hz, 15 amp

2. Place the drip tray under the beer tap.

3. Open the beer faucet by pulling the tap towards you quickly and completely to

4. Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly. At the correct pressure and

temperature, a 10-oz glass should be filled in 4 seconds.13

5. Hold the glass steady at a 45° angle. When it is 2/3 full, start straightening the

glass. Proper foam should be a tight, creamy head and the collar on an average glass should be 3/4" to 1" high. Note: It is normal to see condensation forming on the tap. It is caused by the difference in temperature between the cold beer and the inner surfaces of the tap when beer is flowing through the line. The recommended temperature for serving chilled beer is between 38° and 43°F. To maintain this temperature in average room conditions of 70°F, set the thermostat accordingly. Understanding Beer Temperature Notes: During the summertime when temperatures are warmer, we recommend that you adjust the control to a cooler setting. Selecting and maintaining the proper temperature inside the refrigerator cabinet is necessary for maintaining the flavor and freshness of beer. Excessively cold or warm temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet may cause a loss of flavor. The best temperature for storing a keg is approximately 38°F. Sour beer is produced as a result of secondary fermentation above 45°F. The following tips will help you serve the perfect beer. To serve beer from the tap similar to the way it left the vat, check the following: Beer Serving Tips

• Cleanliness (see Maintenance of the Beer Dispenser)

• Temperature (see Setting the Temperature and Understanding Beer Temperature)

• Pressure (The recommended pressure for the CO

system is 8-10 lbs.)

To optimize cooling and to save energy at the same time, dust the back of the beer dispenser periodically. Cleaning The interior should be cleaned regularly. Use a soft towel or sponge that has been dampened in a solution of mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth. Leave the door open for a while to allow the unit to dry thoroughly before turning the power back on. Do not use a hard brush, steel wool, wire brush, or abrasives such as toothpaste, or organic solvents like alcohol or acetone to clean the beer dispenser. When cleaning or rinsing the unit, be careful not to let the control panel or any electrical components become wet. If the machine will be out of service for more than three weeks, unplug it and clean and dry it thoroughly. Allow the door to remain open slightly to prevent the buildup of mold and odors. Out of Service Firmly fix any loose items inside the beer dispenser with tape. Tape the door shut so it will not open during transportation. Transporting the Unit Loosen the two foot brakes before moving the unit. Keg sizes that can be used in your beer dispenser: Specifications of Beer Kegs 1/2 barrel 59 liters 15.5 gals. 1,984 oz. 164 / 12-oz. Glass 1/4 barrel 30 liters 7.8 gals. 992 oz. 82 / 12-oz.

However, Coors’ kegs do not fit in our unit.15

DISPOSING OF A WORN-OUT APPLIANCE

• When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it.

• Before you dispose of an old appliance: Take the door or doors off but leave any shelves or drawers in place so that children cannot easily climb inside.

• The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances that should be recycled separately. Either have a licensed appliance repair company or dealer remove the appliance or call your local recycling office for the appropriate disposal information.

• For the sake of environmental protection, when moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the rear wall (the condenser unit or the tubes) or any part of the refrigeration system inside the appliance.

• This beer dispenser is 100% CFC-free, but the coolant is under pressure and inflammable, and puncturing the sealed system could be dangerous. The coolant used in the sealed system is non-toxic.

• Many older appliances may contain refrigerants that are harmful to the environment, and should be recycled by a lawfully licensed company.16

DRAFT BEER TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Cause Correction Beer is cloudy: The beer in the glass appears hazy and not clear. Excessively low temperatures may cause hazy or cloudy beer, particularly when the beer lies in the cold coil for long periods of time. Drain a few ounces before drinking. Raise the temperature setting of the unit. Glasses may not have been cleaned properly. Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that have contained milk or any other fatty substance. An excessive amount of germicide build-up may also leave a fatty film, which will cause beer to go flat. It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses where health laws permit. Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to remove all fatty substances (e.g., lipstick). Do not use soap. Do not wipe the glasses dry. Permit glasses to air-dry by placing them on a wire rack or corrugated metal sheet. Rinse the glasses in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass. Improper drawing of beer into glass Open the faucet quickly and completely; proper foam should be a tight creamy head. The collar on the average glass should be ¾" to 1" high. Beer drawn without a head has the appearance of being flat. Not enough pressure Increase the pressure if beer runs too slowly. The correct flow should fill a 10-oz glass in 4 seconds (approx. 8 oz of liquid). Check the pressure source to determine whether there are obstructions in the air line. Replace a sluggish air source or the CO

regulator and gauge. The tank pressure must always be higher than the pressure used on the keg. Always apply pressure to the keg before drawing beer.17 Beer has off taste: Often bitter and bite-y; sometimes completely lacking flavor and zest. It may also have an oily or foul odor which may carry an unpleasant taste. Improper cleaning of the tap Brush and clean the tap properly. It should be scoured using a detergent, then rinsed clean. Contaminated air line Beer tube should be examined. If contaminated, it should be replaced. Condensation is forming on the tap. It is normal to see conden- sation forming on the tap. It is caused by a difference in temperature between the cold beer and the surfaces of the tap when beer is flowing through the line. Beer that is left in the tap is not cooled by the beer dispenser. After a period of non-use, a few ounces should be drained before drinking.18 GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING If there is a problem with the beer dispenser itself, see if you can find it listed in the chart below. You may be able to save yourself the cost of a service visit. Problem Possible Cause The beer dispenser doesn’t work. Power supply not firmly connected. Supplied voltage is too low. Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. The machine switches on and off frequently. Indoor temperature is higher than usual. Machine door is opened frequently. Door is not completely closed. Temperature control is not set correctly. Door cannot be closed properly. Beer keg not properly placed. Beer dispenser is not level. Door was reversed and re-installed incorrectly. Metal plate or beer kegs are out of place. Noise Rushing noise may be the sound of refrigerant flow, which is normal. As each cycle ends, the gurgle of refrigerant flow may be heard. Contraction and expansion of inner wall may cause pops and crackles.19 LIMITED WARRANTY
