Final Preparation • Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. The interior should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed. • All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove. General Tips & Suggestions • After making a temperature change, allow 24 hours for your unit to reach a new temperature setting. • The motor will stop and start often. It must do this to maintain the temperature you select. • Unplug the appliance before working on anything with the electrical system. • Exercise caution when sweeping, vaccuming or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill can occur. • For all cleaning, mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart warm water or use mild, soapy, water solution. Do not use strong cleaners or scouring powder or pads. • Keep your appliance out of direct sunlight. • Do not splash or spray water on or under the unit. • Clean your appliance's condenser periodically to maintain proper cooling performance. Operating Instructions SETTING THE CONTROL NOTE: The control is factory set for the ideal draft beer temperature - 38°F (3.3°C). (Temperature setting may need adjustments depending on ambient temperature.) Initially set the cold control knob midway between the numbers. Allow at least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the initial temperature setting. The higher the number, the cooler the temperature. The temperature control knob is located at the bottom front of the cabinet, just behind the square opening near the middle of the grill. Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold - preferably around 38°F (3.3°C). Temperatures above 45°F (7.2°C) may cause the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy. Draft beer should be consumed within 30 days, as it is not pasteurized and loses its original brewery fresh taste and aroma the older it gets. 16 Drawing the Perfect Glass of Beer 1 2 Start with a clean beer glass that has been wetted in cold water.

SETTING THE CONTROL
NOTE:
The control is factory set for the ideal draft beer temperature - 38
°
F (3.3
°
C).
(Temperature setting may need adjustments depending on ambient temperature.)
Initially set the cold control knob midway between the numbers. Allow at least 48 hours for the
unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the initial temperature setting. The higher the
number, the cooler the temperature.
The temperature control knob is located at the bottom front of the cabinet, just behind the
square opening near the middle of the grill.
Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold - preferably around 38°F (3.3°C).
Temperatures above 45°F (7.2°C) may cause the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy.
Draft beer should be consumed within 30 days, as it is not pasteurized and loses its original
brewery fresh taste and aroma the older it gets.
Start with a clean beer glass that has been
wetted in cold water. Place the glass at a 45°
angle, one inch below the faucet. DO NOT let
the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet all
the way.
