as it may damage the threads.
Placing the Cabinet
NOTE: The end of the CO2 line extends through a
sleeve on the side of the cabinet in the
machinery compartment. Connect this
line to the pressure supply with a hose
and fitting.
Push the cabinet into place using rollers when
necessary. Important: Proper air flow around the
condensing unit is necessary for efficient operation.
Never obstruct the air flow in and out of the
condensing unit.
Electrical
Leveling the Cabinet
The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see electrical specification
plate) and grounded in accordance with National
and Local Electrical Codes. Caution: Do not
attempt to operate the equipment on any other
power source than that listed on the Electrical
Specification plate.
When the cabinet is in place, check installation with
a carpenter’s level. A slight pitch to the drain side is
desired. Water may accumulate if the cabinet is
pitched to the opposite side.
Installing Casters or Legs (Optional)
Attach casters to the cabinet bottom in the holes
provided. Use supplied 1/4”- 20 x 3/4” hex head
self-tapping machine screws. Use power driver if
available.
WARNING!
To avoid compressor damage,after returning
cabinet to an upright position, let unit stand for
24 hours before plugging it in and running the unit.
Installing the Faucet and
Dispensing Head
Before you begin: Wash tapping devices and
faucet. Flush beer, tapping device and faucet lines
with fresh water.

Draft Beer Information – Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained
Temperature
At temperatures lower than 30° F., beer will freeze.
When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may
separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an
“off” taste.
One of the most common causes of dispensing
problems is improper temperature. Draft beer
should be stored at a temperature between 32° and
38°. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam.
Refrigeration and Temperature Control
Adjusting the temperature
The Direct Draw Dispenser is equipped with a
heavy-duty refrigeration system designed to
automatically maintain a storage temperature of
36-41 degrees F. The control is factory set at 38
degrees F.
The temperature control is inside the cabinet on
the right-hand side of the evaporator fan panel
assembly. You will need a screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw. Make small adjustments until the
desired temperature is achieved.
■
Colder Temperatures:
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to the right).
Warmer Temperatures:
Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise
(to the left).

The condenser fan motor turns off and on with the

continuously. The fan motors are lifetime lubricated
and will require no oiling.

Cabinet Temperatures lower than 34° will not allow
for proper defrosting of the evaporator coil. If
defrosting is necessary, turn the control knob to the

Cleaning the Beer System – Direct Draw Dispensers Self-Contained
I
The entire beer system, to include the faucet, flexible
beer line and tapping devices must be cleaned at
regular intervals. We recommend flushing the entire
system with fresh water immediately after a keg has
been emptied. Once each month the system should
be cleaned chemically.
Beer Stone:
All beer contains calcium which is present from
the grains used in the brewing process. it is an
important natural material in draft systems in
that as it oxidizes it coats the internal parts of
the beer lines and equipment. This thin coat of
beer stone helps prevent the beer from picking
up strong metallic or plastic flavors as it flows
through the system. The beer stone will
continue to build if the system is not cleaned
properly or regularly and can cause drawing
problems if it begins to flake off. Beer stone is
present if one can see a brownish color on the
faucet or inner wall of the beer line, or tobacco-
like flakes in the beer.
It is recommended that you purchase Perlick’s
Pump Type Cleaning Kit. It is equipped with an
adapter that attaches directly to the faucet shank,
jar with pump, cleaning solution, faucet brush and
spanner wrench.
Cleaning the draft beer system will help to
eliminate the buildup of the following materials:
IIII Bacteria:
Beer is an excellent food for bacteria (none of
which is harmful). Proper conditions may begin
the growth of bacteria in draft beer and on the
beer faucet. By regular cleaning, we prevent
this bacterial buildup and maintain the quality
of the draft beer. Greenish or yellowish colored
material on the faucet may indicate bacterial
growth.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Use a mild detergent and water to clean the inside
and outside of the cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Never
use a scouring pad or abrasive cleanser.
NOTE: An industrial strength, commercial cleaner
can be used to clean the outside of painted
cabinets.
I
Yeast:
All domestic draft beers contain a small amount
of yeast which remains in the beer from the
fermentation process. When the temperature of
draft beer exceeds 50° a process of secondary
fermentation may take place. The beer faucet
may exhibit a white colored substance (yeast
build up) if not cleaned on a regular basis.
Cleaning the Condenser
Use a long handled, stiff brush to clean the dirt from
the front surface of the condenser. Keeping the
condenser free from dust and dirt will ensure effi-
cient operation.
CAUTION: Do not bend the fins while brushing the
front of the condenser.

Pouring a Perfect Glass of Beer – Direct Draw Dispensers
➠
STEP 1
Start with a clean glass.
Place the glass at a
45° angle, one inch
below faucet. Do not
let the glass touch the
faucet. Open the faucet
all the way.
STEP 2
➠
After the glass has
reached half full,
gradually bring the
glass to the upright
position
➠
STEP 3
Let the remaining beer
run straight down the
middle of the glass.
This ensures proper
release of CO2 by
producing a 3⁄4” to 1”
foam head.
STEP 4
➠
Close the faucet quickly
and completely.
