Warranty Information

Refer to the warranty card for detailed warranty information.

Basic Operation

Cool Down Period: Allow the unit to operate with the door closed for at least 12 hours before placing a keg inside.

Temperature Control: Adjust the rotary control to "Med." for initial beer storage (1-3 °C / 34-38 °F). Allow 24 hours for stabilization after adjustments.

Dispensing Beer:

  • Use a clean, cold, wetted glass at a 45° angle, 2.5 cm below the faucet.
  • Open faucet fully.
  • As glass fills halfway, bring it upright.
  • Allow rest of beverage to run down the middle to create a 1.9-2.5 cm foam head.
  • Close faucet completely and quickly.

Important: Turning the temperature control to "OFF" stops the compressor but not other electrical components. Always unplug the power cord to disconnect power.

Troubleshooting and error codes

CONCERN POTENTIAL CAUSE COMMON SOLUTION
RUNNING OF KEG COOLER Keg cooler does not run. Keg cooler is plugged into a circuit that has a ground fault interrupt. Temperature control is in the "O" position. Keg cooler may not be plugged in, or plug may be loose. House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker. Power outage.
Keg cooler runs too much or too long. Room or outside weather is hot. Keg cooler has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Doors are opened too frequently or too long. Keg cooler door may be slightly open. It's normal for the keg cooler to work longer under these conditions. It takes four (4) hours for the keg cooler to cool down completely. Warm air entering the keg cooler causes it to run more. Open door less often. See DOOR PROBLEMS section.
Interior keg cooler temperature is too cold. Temperature control is set too low. Keg cooler gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. Adjust temperature control to warmer setting. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause keg cooler to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.
Interior keg cooler temperature is too warm. Temperature control is set too low. Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Door may not be seating properly. Keg cooler has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Adjust temperature control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize. Warm air enters the keg cooler every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. See DOOR PROBLEMS section. It takes four (4) hours for the keg cooler to cool down completely.
Keg cooler external surface temperature is warm. The external walls can be as much as -1 °C (30 °F) warmer than room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the keg cooler.
WATER/MOISTURE/FROST INSIDE KEG COOLER Moisture collects on inside of keg cooler walls. Weather is hot and humid. Door may not be seating properly. Door is kept open too long or opened too frequently.
WATER/MOISTURE/FROST OUTSIDE KEG COOLER Moisture collects on outside of keg cooler walls. The door may not be seating properly, causing the cold air from inside the keg cooler to meet warm moist air from the outside.
ODOUR IN KEG COOLER Unpleasant odours. Interior needs to be cleaned.
DOOR PROBLEMS Door will not close. Keg cooler is not level.
SOUND AND NOISE Louder sound levels whenever keg cooler is on. Modern keg coolers have increased storage capacity and more stable temperatures. They require a high-efficiency compressor.
Longer sound levels when compressor comes on. Keg cooler operates at high pressure during the start of the "ON" cycle. This is normal. The sound will level off or disappear as the keg cooler continues to run.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor comes on. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. The sound will level off or disappear as the keg cooler continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound like water boiling. Refrigerant (used to cool keg cooler) is circulating throughout the system. This is normal.
Vibrating or rattling noise. Keg cooler is touching the wall. Move keg cooler slightly away from the wall.
Snapping noise. Temperature control turning keg cooler on and off. This is normal.
COMMON DRAFT PROBLEMS WILD BEER - Beer, when drawn, is all foam, or too much foam and not enough liquid beer. Beer drawn improperly. Creeping regulator. Applied pressure is set too high. Hot spots in line. Tapped into a warm keg (should be 1.1°C-3.5°C (34°F-38°F)). Centre malfunctioning. Faucet is in bad, dirty or worn condition.
FLAT BEER - Foamy head disappears quickly; beer lacks usual zestful brewery fresh flavour. Dirty glasses. Applied pressure is set too low. CO₂ is cut off. Beer too cold. Loose tap or vent connections. Sluggish regulator. Wash glasses using soap-free detergent. Increase pressure until beer flows at a rate of 2 oz. per second. Do not turn off CO₂ supply line to keg until keg is empty and ready to be removed. Increase temperature of keg cooler. See SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL section. Check that coupler is properly installed in keg. Replace regulator.
CLOUDY BEER - When beer in glass appears hazy, not clear. Frozen or near frozen beer. Unrefrigerated beer for long periods of time. Dirty glasses. Dirty faucet. Unrefrigerated foods placed on top of cold keg. Return keg to place of purchase and exchange for one that has been properly refrigerated. Exchange keg for fresh one. Wash glasses using soap-free detergent. Clean faucet with recommended cleaning kit. Remove items from atop keg and place in a separate refrigerator.
