Changing gas cylinder
1. Turn cylinder valve to the off position (clockwise) and disconnect the supply hose from the regulator by depressing the
small metal lever. Your system will remain pressurized.
2. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the regulator, relieving the pressure in the regulator, so that you may loosen
the hand nut. Replace the cylinder and attach the regulator, hand tighten the regulator nut onto the new full cylinder and
open the cylinder valve. A full aluminum cylinder will read 1800 lbs., a steel cylinder will read 2200 lbs.
3. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the
regulator for two seconds to displace air from the regulator.
4. Reconnect the supply hose to the regulator.
Your system is now ready for use. There is no need to bleed the system, as the supply hose quick-connect has a shut off valve which
holds gas pressure to the wine bottles during the cylinder change out.
Cleaning Your Unit
When used correctly, your WineKeeper system prevents the oxidation process that causes wine to spoil. Lack of proper maintenance
will eliminate most of the benefits of your WineKeeper. Indications that your system needs cleaning include wine with a cloudy look
and /or an odd taste. We recommend that you clean your system once a month or as needed.
Standard Cleaning Process
1. Close off the nitrogen pinch clamps.
2. Loosen the stopper assemblies in each bottle to release gas pressure.
3. Pull the handle on each faucet (with a glass below) to drain wine from each faucet and tube. Remove the wine bottles.
Do not place these used bottles back on the unit after you have completed the cleaning process, these wines should
be hand poured.
4. Mix the Wine Line Cleaner (WLC) solution with water as per the instructions printed on the container (additional
cleaning supplies are available from WineKeeper).
5. Pour this mixture into clean empty wine bottles (3 - 4 ounces is sufficient).
6. Replace and seal the stopper assemblies in each bottle then open the pinch clamps.
7. Pour off a small amount of the liquid. Allow solution to remain in the wine tubes for 10 minutes. Dispense the remaining
solution through the system.
8. Rinse by running one full bottle of hot water through the system.
9. Mix ChlorTab Sanitizer solution per instructions and repeat steps 5, 6 & 7 allowing three minutes of contact.
10. Rinse with hot water.
11. Remove the faucet assembly from the thru-wall.
12. Unscrew the bonnet from the black funnel shaped portion (faucet body) of the faucet assembly.
13. Remove the seat cup from the stem. Clean the seat cup and the faucet body in the sanitizer. Rinse with warm water.
(DO NOT USE SOAP!) Dry and re-assemble the faucet assembly.
