HELPFUL TIPS

• IMPORTANT! If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted
position for any period of time wait 8 hours before plugging the unit in.
• It is recommended that you flush the hoses with water prior to
first use to remove any dust and debris from shipping.
• Open the CO 2 Tank with a ¼ turn to start, then use the regulator to
adjust to desired pour. If it is not enough, continue to open the CO 2 Tank
by a ¼ turn and use regulator until desired setting is reached.
• It is normal to see condensation form on the faucet. It is caused by
the difference in temperature between the cold beer and the inside
of the faucet when beer is flowing through the line.
• If your CO 2 Tank Band breaks during assembly, it is recommended
to use a bungee cord to secure your CO 2 Tank.
• Humidity can cause ice to build up inside the unit, so you will need to periodically
defrost it. A hole in the back of the unit will allow water to drain out of the KEGORATOR™.
NOTE: Do not use sharp objects to remove ice build up as this may damage the unit.
Foamy Beer
Follow these steps to prevent foamy beer:
1. Confirm the packing spring in the Keg Coupler is removed and discarded. It
is not to be placed inside the Keg Coupler when unit is assembled.
2. Make sure there is only (1) Backflow Stopper inserted and it falls out easily if the Keg
Coupler is flipped over. If you have to force it out with a screwdriver, it is getting
lodged in the Keg Coupler. Try exchanging it with the included replacement.
3. Confirm the beer lines are not kinked and are clean.
4. You may need to adjust down your pressure, even if it is below the recommended 8-12 PSI:
• Before lowering the pressure, close the CO 2 Shut Off Valve (turn to 9 o'clock position)
and use the provided 1.5mm Allen Wrench to loosen the Allen Set Screw on the
red +/- adjustment dial. This will restrict excess CO 2 from entering the keg.
• Adjust the pressure down to 8 PSI or below. Lock the red +/- dial
back in place by tightening with the Allen Wrench.
• Pull the Release Valve on the Regulator to get an accurate reading of CO 2 pressure.
• With the Shut Off Valve still closed, move down to your Coupler.
• Pull the release valve on the Coupler to remove any excess CO 2
that may have been pushed into the keg at another point.
• Once most or all has released, open the Shut Off Valve (6
o'clock position) and attempt to pour a beer.
5. Keep in mind that jostling a keg can create foamy beer.
6. Temperature also may affect the beer, so be sure it is not too warm
or too cold. 37 degrees F is an ideal temperature.
7. A faulty valve on the keg itself may cause the Keg Coupler to not seal well. Make sure all
connections are secure and well tightened. Ensure all Washers are intact and correctly placed.
Confirm the Directional Washer has a hole in it when pinched between the fingers.
