USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

1. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

WARNING: Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

Double insulated appliances are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one single layer of reinforced insulation between the user and the appliance’s electrical system. Products built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, this appliance is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits it to be used without concern for maintaining ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of the normal safety precautions when operating this appliance. The secondary insulation system is for protection against injury resulting from a possible failure of the primary insulation within the product.

CAUTION: When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Repair or replace damaged cords.

NSTALLATION GUIDE

Read the installation guide carefully to ensure you understand all instructions before installing the beer kegerator. If after completing the process you are still unsure whether the beer kegerator has been properly installed, we recommend that you contact a qualified installer.

NOTE : Allow the beer kegerator to stand in an upright position for at least 8 hours before plugging in the unit. This is very important! Once the unit is laid on its side, the refrigerant in the refrigeration system is shifted. If the kegerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, please wait at least 24 hours before plugging the unit in. The refrigerant in the refrigeration system needs to stabilize before the unit is turned on.

Installing the Casters

Follow the steps below to install casters:

NOTE: Two of the casters include locking mechanisms to ensure the unit does not slide on hard floors. These two locking casters should be fastened at the front end of the unit, with the unlocked casters fastened on the rear end.

1. Empty the inside of the beer kegerator. Once emptied, place the unit down on it’s side. We recommend that you place a piece of cardboard or cloth underneath the cabinet to prevent dents or scratches.
2. Remove the front leveling legs. Insert the casters into the holes on the bottom corners of the cabinet. Tighten each caster by turning the nut clockwise with a wrench (not provided in the kit).
3. Once all four casters have been tightened, stand the cabinet in its upright position.
   

INSTALLING THE BEER TAP

• Follow the steps below to install the beer tap.

• Place the beer tower rubber washer on top of the unit prior to installing the dispenser. (See illustration A).
  

• To install the dispenser, place it on top of the kegerator unit, and screw into place. Four screws are needed to lock the dispenser into place. (See illustration B).
  

• Attach the (two) black, beer tap handles to the threaded taps on the beer tower. Turn the handles clockwise until securely connected.

• Connect the Keg Couplers to the CO2 Regulator with the air hose. Then connect the keg couplers to the beer taps. (Illustration C).
  

• Connect the CO2 Regulator to the CO2 bottle. (Illustration D).
  

INSTALLING THE GUARDRAIL

Following these steps below to install the guardrail.

1. Place the guardrail on top of the cabinet.
2. Align all support feet of the guardrail with the holes on the top of the unit.

INSTALLING THE CO2 REGULATOR AND THE CO2 CYLINDER

Follow these steps to safely install the CO2 regulator and CO2 cylinder. You must read and understand the following procedures for the CO2 cylinders before installation.

NOTE: Your CO2 cylinder has DOT (USA Department of Transportation) approval, however the cylinder has been shipped empty to avoid any possible accidents during transportation. When you purchase the first keg of beer, you must also have your CO2 cylinder filled at your local supplier.

1. Install the CO2 gas line tube to the regulator by attaching one end of the tube to the hose barb connection on the CO2 regulator. (See illustration E)
   

2. Attach the regulator to the CO2 cylinder by screwing the regulator nut onto the cylinder valve and tightening with an adjustable wrench. (See illustration F)

3. Wrap the rubber strap that is attached to the interior of the beer kegerator unit around the CO2 bottle to secure the bottle in place (as shown below.
   

4. Position the cylinder so that you would be able to read the numbers on the gauges and have easy access to shut-off valves.

DANGER

CO2 can be dangerous! CO2 cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which can be hazardous if handled improperly. They must be handled with care.

TAPPING THE BEER KEGERATOR INSTALLING KEG TAP (SINGLEVALVE TYPE BARREL)

Follow these steps below to tap the beer keg.

1. Make sure the black pull handle of the tap is in the closed (up) position before installing it on the kegerator (Fig.1 – below ). Insert the keg coupler into the locking neck of the beer keg and turn clockwise ¼ to lock it into position (Fig.2 – below). This means that it is secured to the kegerator.
   

2. When connecting the beer line, it is very important that the black rubber washer be installed inside the wing nut before connecting the beer line to  the tap. Remove the black rubber protective cap located on top of tap andscrew the Wing nut with the rubber washer. Tighten it firmly by hand. (Fig.2 – belo w
   

3. Attach the CO2 line end of the tube to the hose connection on the tap. Next, secure the tube by using the remaining self-locking plastic snap- on clamp to ensure that there are no leaks. Secure the clamp tightly with pliers (Fig.3 – below ).
   

4. Make sure the beer tower faucet is in the closed (handle pointing straight back) position before connecting the tap to the keg. To secure the tank connection, pull the tapping handle out and push down until it locks into position. Listen for the “click” of the pull handle when it shifts into the final downward position ( Fig.4 – below). This will open the beer and gas valves. The keg is now tapped.
   

5. Carefully tilt the keg and rest the edge on the keg floor support on the bottom of the interior cabinet. Slide the beer keg slowly, ensuring that it is properly located (Fig.5 – below) and carefully close the door.
   

6. Your beer kegerator comes with a 2.5 lb. CO2 bottle, which should be able to dispense four 15 gallon kegs of beer.

OPERATING YOUR BEER KEGERATOR

Dispensing Beer

Follow the steps below to dispense beer.

1. Make sure that the beer kegerator is plugged in properly to a 115V, 60Hz, 1.1 Amps grounded AC power outlet.

2. Place the drip tray under the beer tap to avoid excessive beer stains.

3. Open the beer faucet by pulling the tap towards you to dispense the beer.
   NOTE: If for any reason the beer does not come out of the tap, please refer to the “Tapping the Beer Kegerator” section.

4. Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly.

5. Hold the glass steady at a 45˚angle. When it is 2/3 full, straighten the glass. Proper foam should be a tight creamy head and the collar on an average glass should be 3/4” to 1” high, ideally.

NOTE: It is normal to see condensation form on the faucet. It is caused by the difference of temperature between the cold beer and the inside of the faucet when beer is flowing through the line.

OPERATING THE UNIT AS A REFRIGERATOR

1. Make sure that the beer kegerator is plugged in properly to a 115V, 60Hz, 1.1 Amps grounded AC power outlet.
2. Adjust the temperature using the mechanical control dial. This unit can be programmed from 35.6 – 50.0 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Two adjustable shelves are provided with the unit.
4. Place the “Beer Tower Hole Plug” on top of the unit instead of the beer tap when operating as a refrigerator.
