Draft Beer Information – Concessionaire Dispensers

Temperature

One of the most common causes of dispensing problems is improper temperature. Draft beer should be stored at a temperature between 32° and 38°. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam.

At temperatures lower than 30° F., beer will freeze. When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an “off” taste.

Refrigeration and Temperature Control

The Direct Draw Dispenser is equipped with a heavy-duty refrigeration system designed to automatically maintain a storage temperature of 36-41 degrees F. The control is factory set at 38 degrees F.

Adjusting the temperature

The temperature control is inside the cabinet on the right-hand side of the evaporator fan panel assembly. You will need a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw. Make small adjustments until the desired temperature is achieved.

■Colder Temperatures:

Turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to the right).

■Warmer Temperatures:

Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise (to the left).

The condenser fan motor turns off and on with the condensing unit. The evaporator fan motor runs continuously. The fan motors are lifetime lubricated and will require no oiling.

NOTE:

Cabinet Temperatures lower than 34° will not allow for proper defrosting of the evaporator coil. If defrosting is necessary, turn the control knob to the OFF position until coil is defrosted.
