FIRST STEPS (continued)
OPERATING YOUR BEVERAGE CENTER
• Make sure that the beverage center is plugged in properly
to a 115V, 60Hz AC only electrical outlet. Refer to
Electrical Information on page 3.
• Make sure that the drip tray and sump are secured under
the faucet.
• Start with a clean beverage glass that has been wetted in
cold water. Place the glass at a 45º angle, one inch below
the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the
faucet all the way.
• After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the
glass to an upright position.

NOTE
It is normal to see condensation forming around the faucet.
This condensation is caused by the temperature difference
between the cold beverage and the inner surfaces of the
faucet when beverage is being drawn through the line.
• Let the remaining beverage run straight down the middle.
This insures proper release of CO
2
by producing a ¾” to a
1" foam head.
• Close the faucet completely and quickly.
HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO
2
CANISTER
• Remove hoses from routing clips.
• Remove the keg, then remove CO
2
canister.
• Close the canister valve of the empty canister by turning
clockwise until it stops.
• Close the regulator shut-off valve by moving it to the 9
o’clock position.
• Carefully remove regulator from the empty CO
2
canister by
loosening the nut with an adjustable wrench. Check the
condition of the gasket inside the nut and replace if
necessary.
• Return canister to your local carbonic gas source for filling.
(We suggest looking in your yellow pages under
“Carbonic Gas”. Sources of CO
2
vary from community to
community but it is often available at welding supply
stores and beverage distributors.)
• Remove dust cap from new canister nut, if any.
• With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the
regulator to the new canister using an adjustable wrench.
Ensure the plastic washer is inside of the nut. Tighten nut
until it feels snug but be careful not to over tighten as you
will damage the gasket inside the stem nut.
• Check to make sure that the braided gas line hose is still
securely attached to the regulator.
• Open the canister valve all the way by turning counter-
clockwise until it stops. This valve seals at both the fully
open and fully closed positions. Failure to completely open
or close the valve could result in premature loss of CO
2
pressure.
• Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the
6 o’clock position.
• Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator adjustment
screw as necessary until the pressure reads between 12
to 14 psi. Tighten the adjustment lock nut.
• Replace keg and route hose clips.
DELIVERY HOSE ARRANGEMENT
• Insert the clear hose (12) (delivery hose) into the hose
routing clips attached to the door and the cabinet. Follow
the hose routing shown below depending on the door
swing direction of your door.
