Preparing the Cabinet – Beer Dispensers  
Uncrating and Inspection  
Anti-tip (without Legs or Casters)  
Remove all crating material before operating.  
Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage.  
If damage is discovered, file your claim immediately  
with the transport company. Perlick is not  
responsible for damage in transit.  
To prevent the cabinet from tipping forward and  
to provide a stable installation, the cabinet must be  
secured in place with an anti-tip device.  
A set of metal anti-tip brackets and installation screws  
(#10-3/4" wood screw) are supplied. These brackets  
should be attached to the floor, at the back of the  
cabinet; each bracket located to catch each rear  
leveling leg when the cabinet is pushed backward into  
position.  
Plumbing  
No plumbing connections are required. Condensate  
from the cooling coil is automatically evaporated  
through a condensate pan located in the  
condensing unit section.  
THE ANTI-TIP BRACKETS MUST CATCH EACH OF  
THE LEVELING LEGS TO HAVE A STABLE AND  
SAFE INSTALLATION.  
Electrical  
Some installation sites might need to be modified to  
provide a secure surface for attaching the bracket.  
Refer to the illustration below for anti-tip mounting  
bracket locations.  
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.  
Placing the Cabinet  
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be  
allowed to circulate through the machinery  
compartment. Do not place anything in front of the  
cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles.  
Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.  
Cabinet should be leveled front to back and side  
to side.  
Installing Casters or Legs (optional)  
Attach casters or legs to the mounting bracket with  
the lockwashers and 1/4-20 hex head nuts provided.  
Attach bracket and leg/caster assembly to the side of  
the cabinet base using the 1/4-20 hex head self-  
tapping machine screws provided.

Operation Instructions – Beer Dispensers  
Temperature Control  
An adjustable temperature control is located inside  
the cabinet on the evaporator fan panel assembly.  
Approximate temperature operating range: 32° F.  
minimum and 42° F. maximum. Make adjustments  
as shown to attain the desired temperature.  
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to seal  
the base of the cabinet to the floor. This  
can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone  
sealant between the base of the cabinet and the floor  
as shown by the figure below.  
Colder Temperatures: Turn the adjusting  
screw clockwise (to the right).  
Warmer Temperatures: Turn the adjusting  
screw counterclockwise (to the left).  
Temperature Control “OFF”: Turn the adjusting  
screw completely counterclockwise to the “O”  
position until a click is noted.  
When sealing the cabinet to the floor, make sure that  
the louvered front grill plate can still be removed for  
condenser maintenence and cleaning  
The condenser fan and the evaporator fan motor turns  
off and on with the compressor.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion  
Corrosion can be prevented by following product  
cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use of  
certain chemicals or objects which will cause  
stainless steel corrosion.  
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.  
STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY  
Steel wool or steel scouring pads  
Cherry/Orange/Olive juice  
Chlorine Bleach  
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 efficient  
operation.  
Sharp Objects  
CAUTION: Do not bend the fins while brushing the  
front of the condenser.

Proper CO2 Handling  
CO2 Leak Test  
ALWAYS...  
Dilute a small amount of liquid dishwashing soap  
and rub the soapy mixture around each connection.  
If bubbles appear, tighten connection.  
Connect a regulator (reducing valve) to  
CO2 cylinder.  
Secure cylinder in upright position whether in  
storage or in use.  
Keep cylinder away from heat. Rupture disc  
vents at 122° F. maximum.  
.
Replacing CO2 Gas Cylinder  
Turn CO2 hand valve clockwise until seated and  
.
Ventilate room after high pressure gas leakage.  
Check the last DOT test date on cylinder neck  
before filling. If more than five years old, the  
cylinder must be retested to DOT specifications.  
Be sure CO2 cylinder outlet fitting is free of dust  
or dirt before attaching regulator.  
Store CO2 cylinder and regulator assembly  
upright.  
Allow only properly trained and experienced  
personnel to handle high pressure gas.  
close shut-off valve on regulator.  
Unscrew regulator from cylinder fitting.  
Replace carbonic washer (Part No. 157F2P),  
if needed and reattach regulator to filled  
cylinder.  
Turn CO2 hand valve counterclockwise until  
fully open. Turn regulator shut-off valve to  
open position.  
Adjust CO2 gas flow as required, turning  
clockwise for higher pressure.

regulator (reducing valve).  
Drop or throw regulator or CO2 cylinder.  
Transport CO2 cylinder in a closed vehicle.  
Apply oil to a regulator.  
Shut off CO2 cylinder when not in use. You will  
not save gas by doing so!  
Beverage systems pressur-  
ized with carbon dioxide or  
nitrogen must be equipped  
with two safety relief  
valves; one at the cylinder  
regulator and the other in  
the gas line upstream on  
the product tanks.  
Allow untrained, inexperienced personnel to  
handle high pressure gas.  
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.

Cleaning the Beer System – Beer Dispensers  
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 Sterilizer, as shown below. It is  
equipped with an adapter that attaches directly to  
the faucet shank in lieu of the faucet. It is also  
available with a slip coupling for those who choose  
to clean their faucets in place.

12 Gallon sterilizer w/slip coupling.  
33oz Liquid alkaline cleaner.  
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  
No. 887P  
yellowish colored material on the faucet may  
indicate bacterial growth.  
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.

Pouring a Perfect Glass of Beer – Beer 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 34to 1”  
foam head.  
STEP 4  
Close the faucet quickly  
and completely.
