• Use frosted glassware, as  
the difference in temperature  
between a frozen glass and  
the beer in the keg can  
cause a ‘wild’ draw (too  
much foam).  
Partially (or slowly) draw the

lead to unnecessary  
turbulence in the dispenser  
faucet as the beer travels  
through it, causing a  
substantial amount of foam

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...  
Regular cleaning and maintenance is a key factor in safe guarding the longevity of  
the keg, the quality of the dispensed beer as well as trouble free day to day operation  
of your Keg Cooler.  
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice  
depositing on the evaporator is defrosted automatically. Ice  
...of the Keg  
build-up on the evaporator during compressor operation;  
will (when the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically.  
Defrost water collects inside the drain trough and  
Cooler  
passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a drain  
pan situated above the compressor, where it evaporates.  
Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning and/or  
servicing the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive  
cleaning agents as they can damage the control panel  
and/or painted surfaces. Clean the exterior cabinet with  
warm water and a mild detergent. Clean the interior with  
warm water and a mild detergent, adding one or two  
spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the appliance  
to power supply.  
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of  
time, disconnect the power cord. Clean the appliance and  
leave the door slightly open to reduce mold/mildew from  
accumulating inside the cabinet.  
... of the Dispense  
System  
Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized build up which forms on the fittings,  
lines and taps commonly referred to as “beerstore”. If the “beerstore” is not completely removed in a  
cleaning process it will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms which will cause an  
undesirable flavor and/or cause the beer to go flat. Sufficient “beerstore” will also lead to dispense  
problems ranging from ‘wild’ beer (too much foam) to flat beer, regardless of the carbonation levels or  
quality (age) of the beer in the keg.  
Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of  
“beerstore" protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals. The  
dispenser (beer) line should be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other keg -  
which ever comes first. The dispenser faucet should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to every use if  
not used on a regular basis. Note: If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually  
indicative that it may require cleaning. *DO NOT apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will  
likely lead to damaging the handle and/or faucet, and will not be covered by your warranty.  
A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings.  
Line cleaning kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...  
... of the “Beer  
Clean” Glassware  
Maintain strict sanitary conditions in the glass washing  
area.  
Never wash glassware with utensils or dishes used to  
serve food. Food particles and/or residue can effect the  
quality/taste of draught beer.  
Regular dish detergents are fat-based and will leave a  
slight oily film on the glass, which will cause the beer to go  
flat quickly. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you  
use a detergent that is designed specifically for beer glass  
cleaning which is odor-free and non-fat based, instead of  
regular liquid detergents.  
Avoid drying glassware with towels as they tend to leave  
traces of lint on the surface of the glass.  
We recommend that you use beer glassware only for beer.  
Dairy and other food products leave a residue which can  
effect the quality/taste of the draught.  
... of the CO2  
Pressure  
Periodically monitor the pressure regulators to ensure applied  
operating pressures remain constant. (10~12psi/lbs)  
Always keep equipment in good repair.  
Draught Beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated  
cabinet.  
... of the Beer Keg  
Draught Beer products have a shelf life, which on "average"  
is 30 days after the keg is tapped. By keeping the beer keg  
pressurized, (with CO ) and with proper maintenance of the  
Draught Beer should be treat-  
ed as a food product.  
2
dispense system, the shelf life can be extended to approximatly  
60 days (or more).  
It is very important that you  
store and handle it properly.  
Beer Kegs should be stored (refrigerated) separately from  
other food products.
