- Ventilation: Grille area at front must be free and clear of any object or wall.
- Power Outlet: The installation of this appliance requires a dedicated power outlet located within the length of the unit’s power cord and be accessible for the purpose to disconnect power
UNPACKING AND SET UP
Carefully inspect the shipping carton for damage. This is the only time that
shipping damage may be claimed. If damage is suspected, open the carton
immediately and, if there is damage, retain the carton and contact the shipper
to make a claim.
Do NOT contact the manufacturer.
Uncrating
Tools Needed: ¾” box wrench, adjustable wrench, level, flat head screw driver, and box cutter.
-
Remove the cardboard top capping, all clear tape, and all staples including those at the bottom of the cardboard carton and skid.
-
Start from the top of the carton. Using the box cutter, carefully make one continuous cut to the bottom of the skid. Remove cardboard carton and discard.
- Note: additional clear plastic protective wrap is applied directly to any product with a glass door.
-
Move unit as close to final position as possible before removing the skid.
-
Note: The skid must be removed before the casters or legs can be attached.
-
Do NOT tip unit on its front or sides. If tipped onto the back, unit must not be started for 3 hours.
-
Skid Removal and Caster Attachment
Tip the unit forward and remove the skid. -
WARNING
-
Risk of personal injury.
-
Unit must be securely supported while attaching casters or legs.
-
-
Remove the shipping bolts using the ¾” box wrench while cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat the process while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.
-
None of the threads on the leg or caster stem should be visible once screwed in.
-
Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately 8” and block it securely with pieces of 2×4 lumber or other suitable material.
-
Thread the stem casters or legs into the ½ -13 holes in the bottom of the cabinet. Tighten by hand as much as possible. Some models may already have levelers installed. If so, then the levelers will need to first be removed and discarded.
-
Once the caster or leg cannot be turned any further, use a 3/4 inch wrench to tighten the nut in between the mounting plate and the wheel of the caster until snug.
-
Repeat this procedure with unit secured in the opposite direction so as to access the remaining legs/ casters/levelers.
-
If plate casters or legs are installed instead of stem casters or legs, then repeat step 3 above and secure the plate with either #14 AB screws, or ¼-20 screws, depending upon which are required.
-
If levelers are employed, then repeat step 3 above and thread the leveler in place. Then repeat step 6.
Leveling:
- Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Level should be measured on the headrail.
- Failure to level your cabinet may result in door not sealing, closing correctly, or condensed water draining not draining properly.
- For cabinets with legs, rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench to achieve desired height for leveling.
- For cabinets with casters, leveling can be achieved by placing large washers in between the ½’ stud and the holes located on the bottom of the case.
CAUTION: Do NOT loosen casters to level the cabinet. Casters MUST be tightly secured to cabinet for full strength.
- Install or attach any accessories that will be used Remove any plastic covering the stainless steel.
Installation of Draft Arms
Place rubber washer over draft arm mounting holes in cabinet top and put beer line connector down through the hole. Secure each draft arm with the four bolts provided. Place air hose clip over beer line and insert one inch plastic hose in draft arm being careful not to disturb insulation. Remove top cover of draft arm and attach air hose clip to the ¼” stainless steel elbow at faucet connection. Replace top cover. This clip assures that the air hose remains in place to keep the beer faucet cold.
CO2 Line Routing
- For permanent installations a “knockout’ plug has been provided through which the CO2 line can be extended.

- If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with the identical cord.
Follow All National and Local Codes
- This unit must be grounded. Do not use extension cords and do not disable or by-pass ground prong on electrical plug.
Initial Start Up
- Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
- The cabinet will soon begin to blow warm air out, and cool air will flow from the inside blower.
- The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory and should not need adjustment, however if it was changed, the standard setting is 38º F.
Cautions
- Care must be taken whenever moving or servicing the unit.
- The refrigerant is contained in a sealed system, but if released it may be flammable.
USING THE UNIT – DANFOSS CONTROLLER
USING THE UNIT – DANFOSS CONTROLLER – (EXCEPT FOR THE DD24HC MODELS)
- Operation is simple, just keep it connected to the correct power supply and the refrigerator will maintain the internal temperature it has been set to. Keep the door closed as much as possible to avoid unnecessary run time.
- NOTE: Once the unit has been started and reaches proper storage temperatures, it may be loaded with product.
- No provision is made in the cabinets to quickly pull a keg of beer down to temperature. Best results are obtained when a pre-chilled keg is used. Otherwise it can take several hours to reduce the keg to the desired temperature.
- The controller displays the current internal temperature.
- Adjusting the set temperature lower will NOT cause the system to lower the temperature faster. When on, the refrigeration system is always operating at maximum.
- The temperature was set at the factory at 38º F, but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature. 30 seconds after adjustment, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature.
- The Refrigerator will automatically defrost as needed, there is no set time for defrost. Push and immediately release the “melting” or defrost button for a manual defrost.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily Exterior Cleaning
It is much easier to clean on a regular basis than to have to remove stains once they have built up.
- Wash with a clean sponge and a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine.
- Rinse with clean water.
- Dry with a soft cloth.
- Polish with a soft cloth, wiping with the grain.
- Wipe weekly with stainless steel cleaner
Weekly Interior Cleaning
- Remove all food, food related items and shelves. Store the food at a safe temperature.
- Disconnect power to the unit (unplug it or switch the breaker off).
- Remove all loose food particles from the inside walls, floor, door liner and ceiling.
- Scrub all interior surfaces and door gaskets with a warm (100oF to 110oF) detergent solution and a soft scrub brush.
- Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
- Return the shelves to the unit and secure them.
- Restore power.
- Return food to the unit when it has reached a safe temperature.
Condensate Drainage and Cleaning
- The condensate from the evaporator and spillage from the draft arm areas are connected together to a single hose which exits the unit in the bottom front.
- This combined drain must be connected to a floor drain system for proper disposal of condensate and spillage.
Faucet Cleaning
- The faucet should be cleaned weekly. Disassemble with the provided spanner wrench clean with hot water and detergent.
- It is recommended to follow the dispenser system cleaning guidelines found in the Draught Quality Manual which can be found at, https://www.brewersassociation.org/educational-publications/draught-beer-quality-manual/
CONDENSER CLEANING
The condenser coil is located right behind the front grille on models with end mounted condensing units, and behind the rear grille on the DD24HC model. It should be inspected once a month and cleaned as required.
- Remove power from the unit.
- CAUTION
- Rotating fan blade can cause personal injury.
- Unplug unit from power supply before beginning to clean condenser
- Vacuum clean all surfaces of the condenser.
- Some coils will have an extreme layer of dirt, dust and grease covering the exterior. This should be removed with a wire brush, industrial vacuum or low pressure clean water before attempting to was with coil cleaner.
- Make sure no fins are bent or damaged in the process. If there are bent fins, carefully straighten them so that air can flow through the coils. Failure to keep the condenser coil clean will lead to poor performance, excessive power consumption and compressor failure and may result in loss of property. Failure to keep the condenser coil clean may void the limited warranty.
Chemical Cleaning
- Remove power from the unit.
- A chemical condenser cleaning can be extremely messy so it is good practice to take the unit to a low traffic area or outside to do the cleaning whenever possible.
- Remove cover grille.
- Slide out condensing assembly if necessary.
- Using the directions on the coil cleaning container, mix the cleaner and water into your sprayer.
- Starting at the top with the tip about 6 inches away, begin spraying down the coil.
- Spray side to side then go down to the next section of the coil. Repeat this until the coil is saturated.
- Allow cleaner to soak into the dirty coil for a few minutes and then begin to rinse the coil.
- Clean with a SMALL amount of water pressure. Too much pressure could cause the protective fins to fold over further blocking air flow through the coil.
- Repeat this process as needed.
- Let the unit dry off for a few minutes and replace the grille cover

FOR THE SERVICE TECH
FOR THE SERVICE TECH – R290
Refrigeration service should only be attempted by a trained trade professional certified to work on R290 systems.
Here are some critical service items
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit. It is a reminder and checklist for the service tech. Keep these in mind for R290 service:
- Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an electrical part.
- The switches in this product are sealed, only exact replacements may be used.
- The process tubes are to be used for service access.
- Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration components that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-braze.
- Because R290 can be vented into the air during service, the venting MUST be in an area free from flame or spark. It must be near an opend window or door.
- A sign noting service of a system containing propane must be attached to the unit during refrigeration service.
- A combustible gas leak detector must be used to inform anyone in the area when propane is present in the air.
Other Information:
- Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation with a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge attached is the only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for a charge of refrigerant.
- Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper type and amount MUST be weighed in.
- Overcharge symptoms: Unit will cool properly but the suction line temperature will be unusually cold. Compressor run time will be longer than normal.
- Undercharge symptoms: Long run time, poor cooling and a hot compressor dome are the main symptoms of an undercharge.

This extended warranty does not cover freight for the replacement compressor or freight for the return of the failed compressor.
- Units shipped after 09/01/2023. Previous warranty applies to units shipped prior.

Also, this extended compressor-part only warranty does NOT apply to any
electrical controls, condenser, evaporator, fan motors, overload switch,
starting relay, capacitors, temperature control, filter/drier, accumulator,
refrigeration tubing, wiring harness, labor charges, or supplies which are
covered by the warranty above.
Note: 3rd party extended warranties are not covered by this warranty
statement. Normal wear parts, such as light bulbs/lamps and gaskets are not
covered by this warranty. For the purpose of this warranty, the original
purchaser shall be deemed to mean the individual or company for who the
product was originally installed.
Units that utilize variable speed compressor technology can experience nuisance tripping on Class A GFCI outlets which have a trip limit of 4 mA to 6 mA. To avoid this issue in a location that requires GFCI circuit protection, Beverage Air & Victory recommends using a HUBBELL Model Number GFRST83W 20A Heavy Duty Hospital Grade Self-Test GFCI Receptacle. Our obligation under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing, including labor, any part of such product, which proves thus defective. Beverage-Air reserves the right to examine any product claimed to be defective.
The labor warranty shall be for self-contained units only and for standard straight time, which is defined as normal service rate time, for service performed during normal working hours. Any service requested outside of a servicer’s normal working hours will be covered under this warranty at the normal rate and any additional overtime rate will be at the responsibility of the equipment purchaser. Any part or accessory determined to be defective in the product should be returned to the company within thirty (30) days under the terms of this warranty and must be accompanied by a record of the cabinet model, serial number, and identified with a return material authorization number (RMA#) issued by the manufacturer.
Special installation/applications, including remote locations, are limited in coverage by this warranty. Any installation that requires extra work, and/or travel, to gain access to the unit for service is the sole responsibility of the equipment purchaser. Improper operation resulting from factors, including but not limited to, improper or negligent cleaning and maintenance, low voltage conditions, inadequate wiring, outdoor use (unless otherwise specified) and accidental damage are no manufacturing defects and are strictly the responsibility of the purchaser.
With the exception of Blast Chillers, the product is designed for maintaining temperature and not bringing food to a desired temperature therefore cannot be held responsible for this function under warranty.
Units must be in a conditioned environment or warranty will be void. Condensing coils must be cleaned at regular intervals. Failure to do so can cause compressor malfunction and will void warranty. Although cleaning requirements vary in accordance with operation of various products, Beverage- Air recommends a minimum monthly cleaning.
NO CLAIMS CAN BE MADE AGAINST THIS WARRANTY FOR SPOILAGE OF FOOD, PRODUCTS, LOSS OF SALES OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH ARE HERBY DISCLAIMED, ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON OUR PART, AND WE NEITHER ASSUME, NOR AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR US, ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF SAID REFRIGERATION UNITS OR ANY PARTS THERE OF.
This warranty shall not be assignable and shall be honored only in so far as the original purchaser.
