Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Appliance:
· Remove the exterior and interior packing. · Before connecting the unit to a
power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from
handling during transportation. · Remove the shelves and clean them and the
interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Appliance:
1. Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support it when the
appliance is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at
the front.
2. This appliance is designed for freestanding use or recessed installation
in a 24- inch wide (minimum) opening. Please allow 2″ clearance in the back
and some airflow on the sides and top of the units. The bottom grill must
never be covered or blocked. If rear spacers are provided with your specific
model, they must be installed.
3. This appliance is supplied with spacers which must be mounted onto the
condenser tube at the back to make sure there is sufficient clearance between
the appliance and the wall.
4. Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient
temperatures may also affect the unit’s performance.
5. Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will
cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent
defrosting of the interior.
6. Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed, and grounded wall
outlet. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or authorized service center.

return the kegerator to an upright position. Allow the unit to sit for 8-10
hours before plugging in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Adjusting the Tilt:
If your beer cooler seems unsteady or you would like the door to close more
easily, you can use the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the unit. Be sure
that the unit is in its final position when adjusting the tilt and that it is
plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
WARNING: Two or more people are required to move and/or install the
refrigerator. Failure to do so may cause back or other injury.
· Turning a leveling leg to the right will lower the appliance toward the
position of the leg. Likewise, turning to the left will raise the unit away
from the leg.
· Several turns of the leveling legs may be required before the tilt of the
appliance is properly adjusted.
· Turning both front legs an equal amount to the left will tilt the kegerator
towards the rear. This adjustment makes it easier for the door to close.
Note: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if someone else pushes against
the top of the appliance to take the weight off the legs.
Leg Shield:
Note: Some models include a leg shield meant to cover the exposed legs and the
gap from the bottom of your unit to the floor for a cleaner look. This feature
may not be available on all appliances.

Operating Your Appliance
Temperature Control:
Your appliance may have a mechanical (dial) or digital thermostat. Listed
below are instructions for both mechanical and digital thermostats.
Mechanical (dial) Thermostat (on some models):
· The interior temperature is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside
the unit, towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from
the STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures.
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder)
inside the unit.
· On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside · the cabinet may
drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or
recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium
setting. · Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside
the Unit so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on
ambient conditions. · In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate
(the cooling system is switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted
(the light still works). · The temperature inside the unit also depends on how
often you open the door. · In all small units without interior fans,
temperatures are coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear.
Place contents accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly
empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water bottles inside to
create a load for the compressor.
Digital Thermostat (standard on SBC682/3, WBC/BC3, LBC/BC series)
ON/OFF Power To turn the appliance on or off, press and hold the ON/OFF button
for 3 seconds. Setting the temperature Control · Adjustable temperature: 1°C
to 20°C (34°F to 68°F) · Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the
corresponding button or . Each depression of
the buttons will raise or lower the temperature setting by 1 degree. The
temperature selected will flash in the LED display for approximately 5
seconds, then revert to displaying the temperature of the cabinet interior.
°C/°F This unit has the option of displaying temperatures in either Celsius or
Fahrenheit. To change the setting, press the °C/°F button.
17
Digital Thermostat (standard on FFAR25L7 and FF31L7 series)
ON/OFF POWER
To turn the appliance ON or OFF, press the button/mark and hold for 3 seconds.
LIGHT
To turn the inner light ON and OFF. UP
Used to raise (warm) the set temperature by 1°F/°C. DOWN
Used to lower (cool) the set temperature by 1°F/°C.
ºF/ºC Selector
Choose to display temperature setting in Fahrenheit or Celsius. To change the
temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius or from Celsius to Fahrenheit, press
the button for at least 5 seconds.
Setting the Temperature Control
· You can set the temperature by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. When you
press either of the two buttons for the first time, the LED readout will show
the original temperature set previously. (The temperature preset at the
factory is 38°F, or 3°C.)
· The temperature you are setting will increase by one degree each time you
press the UP · button and will decrease by one degree each time you press the
DOWN button. · The range of the temperature control is from 34°F to 43°F. · To
view the set temperature at any time, press the UP or DOWN button. The set
temperature will flash in the
display window for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the temperature inside the unit
will reappear in blue in the display window. Note: Beer that is left in the
unrefrigerated beer line (between the kegerator and the tower) will likely
become warm and foamy after a long period of time between service. For the
best result pour and discard the first glass of beer at the beginning of
service.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance operates with an automatic defrost system, so the unit defrosts
itself. While the compressor is operating, ice will build up along the cold
rear wall (the evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s
off-cycle, ice will melt, drip down, collect in the trough at the bottom, and
drain through a small hole into a tray above the compressor, where the
compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If you notice excessive ice build-
up on the rear wall, try adjusting the thermostat to a slightly warmer
setting. Be sure that the door gasket is sealing well and that there is no
obstruction of the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.

2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar.
Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse
and dry thoroughly. 4. Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water
and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. 5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or
cloth before cleaning the area of the temperature
control or any electrical parts. 6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on
the back wall with a soft non-metallic
brush or vacuum cleaner. 7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it
to the power supply, reset
the thermostat and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance could
result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Cleaning Your Floating Tap:
NOTE: Do not use lye, soap, or hot water.
1. Mix one half gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of cleaner in a clean
bucket. 2. Remove the bottle cleaner cap assembly, fill the jar and reassemble
leaving the balance of the solution in the
bucket. 3. Turn off the air cock on the regulator or turn off the valve on the
CO2 tank. 4. Disconnect tap from beer barrel. Disconnect the beer faucet from
the Draft tower using supplied faucet
wrench. 5. Place beer hose and tap into bucket and to allow cleaning solution
to run through the beer line If the tap has a
shutoff, place it in the open position. Insert ball lifter into the bottom of
the tap to hold check valve in the open position during cleaning. 6. Connect
the cleaning jar fitting to the draft tower making sure that the fitting
washer is in place. Hold the cleaning jar upside down until the solution runs
through the bucket. 7. Fill the jar with cool water and repeat the process
until clear water flows into the bucket. 8. Rinse Tap in bucket of cool water
and using faucet brush clean the faucet. 9. Remove cleaning jar fitting from
tower and reattach faucet making sure that the faucet washer is still in place
on the back of the faucet. 10. Reattach the tap to the barrel.
19
Emptying Beer Line:
Residual beer left in the tap line for over an hour may become foamy. When
done serving, we recommend emptying the beer line.
1. Shut off the CO2 tank valve. 2. Close the coupler. 3. Disconnect the beer
line hose from the coupler. 4. Place the beer line hose inside a receptacle
large enough to hold an ounce of liquid. 5. Open the faucet to allow air to
pass through the hose and empty the remaining liquids.

Power Failure:
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need
to take the proper steps to protect your chilled items.
Vacations:
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it, and
leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation,
mold, or odors.
Moving Your Appliance:
1. Remove the contents. 2. Securely tape down all shelving inside the unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage. 4. Tape the door
shut. 5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during
transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips:
· The unit should be in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
· Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and
hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
· Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance). · Set the thermostat from higher to lower
settings as soon as possible (depending on how loaded the appliance
is, ambient temperature, etc.). · Before loading items into the unit, be sure
they have cooled to ambient temperature.

Glasses may not have been cleaned properly.
Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses that contain milk or any other
fatty substance. An excessive amount of germicide build-up may also leave a
fatty film, which will cause the beer to go flat.
It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses where health laws permit.
Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent to remove all fatty substances
(e.g., lipstick).
Do not use soap.
Do not wipe the glasses dry. Permit glasses to air-dry by placing them on a
wire rack or corrugated metal sheet.
Rinse the glasses in fresh cold water just before serving beer. It is best to serve beer in a wet glass.
Improper drawing of beer into glass Open the faucet quickly and completely; proper foam should be a tight creamy head. The collar on the average glass should be ¾” to 1″ high. Beer drawn without a head has the appearance of being flat.
Not enough pressure
The beer comes out warm and foamy.
The beer is too warm Wrong CO2 pressure
Dirty or damaged beer line
Increase the pressure if the beer runs too slowly. The correct flow should
fill a 10-oz glass in 4 seconds (approx. 8 oz of liquid). Check the pressure
source to determine whether there are obstructions in the airline. Replace a
sluggish air
source or the CO2 regulator and gauge. The tank pressure
must always be higher than the pressure used on the keg. Always apply pressure
to the keg before drawing beer.
Adjust the temperature in the unit to make the beer colder.
If the pressure is too high, the beer will come out foamy. Keep the pressure
range between 10-12 PSI.
The beer line needs to either be cleaned or replaced.
Probe washer is missing or damaged
If the probe washer is damaged or missing, the beer will come out foamy every time. Replace it as soon as possible.
Too much time between service
Pour and discard the first cup of beer at the beginning of service to refreshen the beer line.

General Troubleshooting
Problem The appliance fails to operate after connecting it to the power
source. The compressor is running continuously.
Noise
Cause Power supply is inactive.
Thermostat is set to STOP (0)
The door is opened frequently, or it was left open too long.
The door is not properly closed or sagging.
The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time. The appliance
may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.
There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser.
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system
with a compressor. Noise can depend on where the appliance is placed, how it
is used, and how old it is.
During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when
the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a
normal condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
Correction Check whether the power supply is active. Adjust the thermostat
setting on the dial.
Keep door closed when it is not in use.
Adjust the door. Clean or replace gasket. Check the power supply. If outdoor:
Check GFCI cord.
Allow items to reach room temperature before adding them to the appliance.
Assure there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the
dust from the condenser.
The unit should be placed and leveled firmly on a solid base, and it should
not touch the wall or cabinets standing next to it.
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. The noise will gradually reduce.
Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit.
