IMPORTANT: • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug. 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 highpitched sound.  Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.  As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your kegerator.  You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object! 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! 11

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 sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your kegerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will
automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on
colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more
humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep
the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door
unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need
to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel
to dry the unit.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Preparing the Kegerator for Storage

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
