EdgeStar Built-in Kegerator Installing the Kegerator The kegerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The kegerator should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the kegerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor's oils to settle. Unpacking the Kegerator WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the kegerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your kegerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your kegerator. IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your kegerator. Electrical Requirements ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. • Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. • Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. • DO NOT use an extension cord. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death. Before you move your kegerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection: A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your kegerator, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 3 Amps. Recommended grounding method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. 4
