INTRODUCTION  
To ensure that your KEGORATORworks to the maximum efficiency for which  
it was designed, keep it in a location where there is proper air circulation and  
electrical outlets.  
Choose a location where the KEGORATORwill be away  
from heat and will not be exposed to direct sunlight.  
The KEGORATORis designed for indoor use  
only. It should not be used outdoors.  
The KEGORATORis designed to be freestanding and  
should not be placed in a built-in or recessed area.  
The KEGORATORcomes with a 2.5 lb. CO bottle, which  
2
should be able to dispense four 15 gallon kegs of beer.

PARTS & ASSEMBLY  
Read assembly instructions carefully before installing the KEGORATOR. If  
still unsure whether the KEGORATORhas been properly installed after  
assembly is complete, it is recommended that you contact a qualified installer.  
Allow the KEGORATORto stand in an upright position for about 8  
hours before turning on the power. Once the unit is laid on its side,  
the coolant in the refrigeration unit is shifted. The coolant in the  
refrigeration unit needs to stabilize before the power is turned on.  
WASHERS  
Most washers are already attached to the KEGORATOR. Extra washers  
are included and are in a plastic bag. They are labeled below. Refer to parts

2. Unlock Screw using Allen Wrench (included). Slowly turn the Double  
Regulator adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the  
Output Pressure Gauge (8-12 PSI). Turning clockwise will increase the output  
pressure, and turning counter-clockwise will decrease the output pressure.  
3. Once desired pressure is reached, you may re-lock Screw using Allen Wrench.  
4. Open the CO Shut Off Valve on the Double Regulator to allow gas flow  
2
from the Double Regulator to the Keg Coupler. You will hear the keg  
pressurizing. The output needle will drop momentarily until the pressure  
has equalized. Then the needle will return to the point you set it at.  
5. The Keg Coupler is designed with a pressure relief valve (PRV).  
Pull the ring on the PRV briefly to allow gas to vent. This will  
permit gas to flow through the Double Regulator and help obtain  
a more accurate reading on the Output Pressure Gauge.  
6. Re-check the output pressure on the Double Regulator, and if necessary  
re-adjust using step #2 until the desired pressure is shown. It is always  
wise to follow up any adjustment to the Double Regulator with a  
brief pull of the PRV ring to ensure an accurate output reading.

INSTALLING THE CASTERS  
Follow the steps below to  
install the Casters.  
1. Empty the inside of the cabinet  
completely and lay the KEGORATOR™  
down on it’s side. We recommend  
that you place a piece of cardboard  
or cloth underneath the cabinet  
to prevent dents or scratches.  
2. Place washers over Caster bolts,  
then insert the Casters into the  
holes on the bottom corners of  
the cabinet. Tighten each Caster  
by turning the nut clockwise with a wrench (not provided in the kit).  
3. Once all four Casters have been tightened,  
stand the cabinet in its upright position.  
Note: Two of the Casters include locking mechanisms to ensure the unit does  
not slide on hard floors. These two locking Casters should be fastened at the  
front end of the unit, with the unlocked Casters fasted on the rear end.

Follow these steps below to tap the beer keg.  
1. Make sure the black pull handle of the coupler is in the closed (up)  
position before installing it on the keg (Fig. 1). Insert the coupler  
into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise until it locks  
into position (Fig. 2). This means that it is secured to the keg.  
2. Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed (handle pointing straight back)  
position before connecting the coupler to the keg (Fig. 3). To secure  
the tank connection, pull the coupler handle out and push down  
until it locks into position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle  
when it shifts into the final downward position (Fig. 4). This will  
open the beer and CO gas valves. The keg is now tapped.  
2
3. Carefully tilt the keg and rest the edge on the keg base board on the  
bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg slowly, ensuring  
that it is properly located (Fig. 5) and carefully close the door.  
HOW TO OPERATE  
Follow the steps below to dispense beer.  
1. Make sure that the KEGORATOR  
is plugged in properly  
to a 120V, 60Hz, 15 Amps grounded AC outlet.  
2. Place the drip tray under the beer faucet to avoid messes from excess beer.  
3. Open the beer faucet by pulling the tap towards you to dispense  
the beer. If for any reason the beer does not come out of the  
tap, please refer to the Tapping the Beer Keg section.  
4. Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly (see Regulator section).  
5. Hold the glass steady at a 45° angle. When it is ²/ 3 full, straighten  
the glass. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head and the  
collar on an average glass should be ¾” to 1” high, ideally.  
13  
HELPFUL TIPS  
It is recommended that you flush the hoses with water prior to  
first use to remove any dust and debris from shipping.  
Only open the CO Tank ¼ turn to begin with and then use the regulator  
2
to adjust to desired pour. If it is not enough, continue to open the CO  
Tank by ¼ turn and use regulator until desired setting is reached.  
2
It is normal to see condensation form on the faucet. It is caused  
by the difference in temperature between the cold beer and the  
inside of the faucet when beer is flowing through the line.  
If your CO Tank Band breaks during assembly, it is  
2
recommended to use a bungee cord to secure CO Tank.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE  
Follow the steps below to clean the keg tap and hoses. (see illustration below)  
1. Turn off CO completely  
2
before attempting to clean.  
Detach beer line  
1
2. Remove the hose from the  
coupler and carefully twist  
the dispenser faucet off the  
top of the KEGORATOR.  
3. Ensure that the dispenser handle  
is in the down position before  
flushing the hose. If this is not  
set correctly, water cannot flow  
through. Hold the open end of the  
hose under running water for 3-5  
minutes, while the beer dispenser  
faucet drains into the sink. This  
will clear any excess beer that  
is trapped inside, helping to  
Flush hose with water  
2
prevent any bacteria or mold  
that could accumulate inside.  
4. In order to clean and remove  
any excess beer that may leak  
into the unit space inside the  
door, remove the black rubber insulation and wipe with a wet towel as needed.  
Follow the guidelines below to care for your KEGORATORwhen not in use.  
Please adjust the temperature gauge to MIN in colder environments  
because this unit does not self-defrost and ice may build up inside  
the unit. The temperature gauge is located on the back side of the  
KEGORATOR™ inside the cut out area at the bottom to the lower left.  
Always rinse the beer line if you do not intend to use your KEGORATORfor  
a period of time. First, turn off the CO and dispense beer until it stops. This  
2
will release pressure in the keg so that the coupler can safely be detached.  
To avoid permanent damage to the unit, never use  
sharp objects inside the KEGORATOR.
