Frigidaire beverage cooler Helpful Hints, Operating Your Beverage Cooler

OPERATING YOUR BEVERAGE COOLER

•Make sure that the beverage cooler is plugged in properly to a 115V, 60Hz AC only electrical outlet. Refer to Electrical Information on page 2.

•Make sure that the drip tray is secured under the faucet.

•Start with a clean beverage glass that has been wetted in cold water. Place the glass at a 45º angle, one inch below the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet all the way.

•After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the glass to an upright position.

•Let the remaining beverage run straight down the middle. This insures proper release of CO2 by producing a ¾” to a 1” foam head.

•Close the faucet completely and quickly.

•With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the regulator to the new canister using an adjustable wrench. Tighten nut until it feels snug but be careful not to over tighten as you will damage the gasket inside the stem nut.

•Check to make sure that the red gas line hose is still securely attached to the regulator.

•Open the canister valve all the way by turning counter clockwise until it stops. This valve seals at both the fully open and fully closed positions. Failure to completely open or close the valve could result in premature loss of CO2 pressure.

•Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the 6 o’clock position.

•Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator shut-off valve as necessary until the pressure reads between 12 to 14 psi.

NOTE: It is normal to see condensation forming around the faucet. This condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the cold beverage and the inner surfaces of the faucet when beverage is being drawn through the line.

HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO2 CANISTER

•Close the canister valve of the empty canister by turning clockwise until it stops.

•Close the regulator shut-off valve by moving it in the 3 o’clock position.

•Carefully remove regulator from the empty CO2 canister by loosening the nut with an adjustable wrench. Check the condition of the gasket inside the nut and replace if necessary.

•Return canister to your local carbonic gas source for filling (we suggest looking in your yellow pages under “Carbonic Gas”. Sources of CO2 vary from community to community but it is often available at welding supply stores and beverage distributors).

•Remove dust cap from new canister nut, if any.

TIPS ON INSTALLING THE KEG TO THE CABINET

SAFE KEG HANDLING

•Installing the keg to the cabinet is a two-person team effort. NEVER lift a full ½ keg alone. Doing so may cause severe injury.

•With the door fully open and the help of another person, lift the keg vertically on both sides until the keg is above the bottom of the cabinet interior.

•Set the edge of the keg on top of the stainless protective plate located on the bottom of the cabinet interior. Slide the keg back until it is fully inside the cabinet.

•Care must be taken to avoid damage to the evaporator coils located on the back side of the cabinet interior.
