Normal Sounds, Preparing the Kegerator for Storage, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Page 9 highlights

Normal Sounds Your new kegerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.  Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the kegerator can also make noises.  The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.  Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing or sound.  As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your kegerator.  Cracking or popping sounds are caused by the expanding and / or contracting of the cooling coils. IMPORTANT: • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug. Preparing the Kegerator for Storage If the kegerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior. 1. Disconnect the unit from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket. 2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew and unpleasant smells. CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the unit! CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning accessories and equipment can be purchased at Kegerator.com A regular cleaning once every 2 weeks of the faucet, beer hose, and keg coupler is extremely important when the Draft Beer Dispenser is used frequently. If this is not performed, the beer will foam. Additionally bacteria, yeast, mold, and beer stone will build up and quickly degrade the quality of draft beer. A few minutes spent cleaning on a regular basis will add life to your system, and improve the quality of your draft beer! EdgeStar Kegerator 6
