OPERATING YOUR BEER COOLER
Ø Setting The Temperature
To start, turn the temperature control knob to the maximum setting (6). Allow
the unit to run for 3 hours at the maximum setting. After 3 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the desired setting. The range of temperature control is
from position "1" the warmest to "6" the coldest Temperature range of the
thermostat goes from 36°F to 45°F (2.2ºC to 7.2ºC)..
Optimum temperature for serving Draft beer is between 38°F – 40°F (3ºC – 6ºC)
and that is a key factor to consider in storing and dispensing Draft beer. Setting
thermostat knob position between “4” and “5” should be appropriate for optimal beer serving
temperature.
To turn off the Beer Cooler, rotate the control knob to the “OFF” position.
Note: Keep an accurate thermometer handy and adjust temperature control setting as necessary or
according to your needs.
Automatic Defrosting
There is no need to defrost the Beer Cooler. Defrost water collects and passes thru the drain outlet in
the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay,
the Beer Cooler may not start.
