OPERATING YOUR BEER DISPENSER
Setting The Temperature
To start, turn the temperature control knob to the maximum setting (6) to achieve coldest position quickly. Allow the unit to run for 3 hours. Temperature range of the thermostat goes from 36°F to 45°F (2ºC to 7ºC).
Optimum temperature for serving draught beer is between 36°F – 38°F (2ºC
–3ºC) and that is a key factor to consider in storing and dispensing draught beer.
To turn off the Beer Dispenser, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
NOTE: Keep an accurate thermometer handy and adjust temperature control setting as necessary or according to your needs.
Automatic Defrosting
There is no need to defrost the Beer Dispenser. Defrost water collects and passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
NOTE:
IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, POWER LOST, OR TURNED OFF, YOU MUST WAIT 3 TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART BEFORE THIS TIME DELAY, THE BEER DISPENSER WILL NOT START.
TURNING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO “OFF” POSITION STOPS THE COOLING CYCLE BUT DOES NOT SHUT OFF THE POWER TO THE UNIT.
