Care and Maintenance

Cleaning your Keg Cooler
• Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the keg cooler, and remove the contents.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and stand with a mild detergent solution.
• Wipe down any electrical controls with a dry cloth.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Cleaning your Beer Lines
Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized build up which forms on the fi ttings, lines and taps
commonly referred to as "beerstore". If the "beerstore" is not completely removed in a cleaning process it will leave an un-
sanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms which will cause an undesirable fl avour and/or cause the beer to go fl at.
Suffi cient "beerstore" will also lead to dispense problems ranging from 'wild' beer (too much foam) to fl at beer, regardless
of the carbonation levels or quality (age) of the beer in the keg.
Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of "beerstore"
protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals. The dispenser (beer) line should
be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other keg - which ever comes fi rst. The dispenser faucet
should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to every use if not used on a regular basis.
Note: If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually indicative that it may require cleaning. DO NOT
apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will likely lead to damaging the handle and/or faucet, and will not
be covered by your warranty.
A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings. Line cleaning kits are readi-
ly available and can be purchased through our after sales service department.

Vacation Time

Short Vacations - Leave the keg cooler operating during vacations of less than three (3) weeks.
Long Vacations - If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all contents and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly.
Moving your Keg Cooler
• Remove all the contents.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your keg cooler.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the keg cooler stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the keg
cooler with a blanket or similar item.
