If voltage varies by 10% or more, performance of your  
beverage cooler may be affected. Operating beverage  
cooler with insufficient power can damage the  
compressor.  
To prevent the beverage cooler from being turned off  
accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by  
a wall switch or pull cord. It is recommended that a  
separate circuit serving only your beverage cooler be  
provided.  
This Use and Care Manual provides specific assembly,  
operating and maintenance instructions for your model. Use  
the beverage cooler only as instructed in this Use and Care  
Manual. Before starting the beverage cooler, follow these  
important first steps.  
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES  
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.  
Your beverage cooler comes with a box that contains all the  
parts and accessories needed for your beverage cooler.  
Check to make sure that you have received the box  
containing all of the components listed below. You will need  
the following tools to assemble the beverage cooler.  
DO NOT use this appliance outside. It is designed for  
indoor use only.  
NEVER unplug the beverage cooler by pulling on the  
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out  
from the receptacle.  
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the beverage cooler  
before cleaning.  
NOTE: Turning the temperature control to “OFF” turns off  
the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to other  
electrical components.

INSTALLATION – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS  
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.  
DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug.  
For the most efficient operation, the beverage cooler  
should be located where surrounding temperatures will not  
drop below 10ºF (-12ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC).  
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave  
a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the beverage cooler  
for adequate air circulation.

LEVELING  
The beverage cooler must have all bottom corners resting  
firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to  
support a fully loaded beverage cooler. NOTE: It is Very  
Important for your beverage cooler to be level in order to  
function properly. If the beverage cooler is not leveled during  
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal  
properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.  
NOTE: The exterior walls of the beverage cooler may  
become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat  
from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30ºF warmer than  
the room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is  
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough  
space for air circulation around your beverage cooler.  
To Level Your Beverage Cooler:  
Carefully tip the unit onto its back. Remove and discard the  
wood skid from the bottom using a 3/8” socket wrench. After  
discarding crating screws and wood skid, use a carpenter’s  
level to level the beverage cooler from front to back. Adjust  
the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the  
door closes easily when left halfway open.

CO2 CANISTER TO CABINET INSTALLATION  
GENERAL OPERATION  
Place the CO2 canister (19) with the regulator (13) inside  
the CO2 Canister Bracket (4) in the cabinet. It is important  
that the canister be kept in an upright position to operate  
efficiently. Fasten the canister securely in place using the  
4” long carriage bolt (6) and wing nut (7) supplied with this  
unit.  
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL  
The temperature control is located on the back side of the  
beverage cooler. The temperature is factory preset for  
satisfactory  
storage  
temperature.  
However,  
the  
(19) CO2  
temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of  
temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder  
temperature is desired, turn the control shaft of the cold  
control clockwise using the tip of the screwdriver as shown  
in the diagram below. To set the cold control to “OFF”  
position, turn the control shaft counter-clockwise until it  
stops. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize

With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the  
regulator to the new canister using an adjustable wrench.  
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 red 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 CO2  
pressure.  
Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the  
6 o’clock position.  
Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator shut-off valve  
as necessary until the pressure reads between 12 to 14  
psi.  
OPERATING YOUR BEVERAGE COOLER  
Make sure that the beverage cooler is plugged in  
properly to a 115V, 60Hz AC only electrical outlet. Refer  
to Electrical Information on page 2.  
Make sure that the drip tray is 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.  
Let the remaining beverage run straight down the middle.  
This insures proper release of CO2 by producing a ¾” to  
a 1” foam head.  
Close the faucet completely and quickly.  
CANISTER VALVE  
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.

BEER STORAGE TEMPERATURE  
OPTIONAL CASTER KIT  
If you’d like to make your beverage cooler so it can be rolled  
from room to room, there is an optional caster kit available  
from your authorized Frigidaire dealer or service center. Just  
ask for part number 297027300 - Caster, Rail and Hardware  
Kit, which includes 2 fixed casters, 2 swivel casters, 2 caster  
support rails and mounting hardware.  
Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold,  
preferably at 38ºF. Temperatures above 38ºF may cause  
the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy.  
TYPICAL BEER SERVING EQUIVALENTS  
½ Keg = 15 ½ Gallons = 1984 Fluid Ounces

Overall weight of full ¼ Keg is approximately 82.5 pounds.  
CASTERS  
ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
Install the beverage cooler in the  
coolest part of the room, out of  
direct sunlight and away from  
heating ducts or registers. Do not  
place the beverage cooler next to  
heat-producing appliances such  
as a range oven or dishwasher.  
Do not overcrowd the beverage cooler or block cold air  
vents. Doing so causes the beverage cooler to run longer  
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with  
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners  
interfere with air circulation, making the beverage cooler  
less efficient.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING THE INSIDE  
Organize the beverage cooler to reduce door openings.  
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close  
the door as soon as possible.  
Wash inside surfaces of the beverage cooler with a  
solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart  
(1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess  
water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area  
of the controls, or any electrical parts.  
BEVERAGE COOLER FEATURES  
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution  
mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water.  
Rinse and dry. NEVER use metallic scouring pads,  
brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any  
surface. DO NOT wash removable parts in the dishwasher.  
ADJUSTABLE INTERIOR SHELVES  
Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to  
any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping  
spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping should be  
removed and discarded.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE  
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid  
detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.  
Replace parts.

PROPER CLEANING OF BEVERAGE COOLER  
Your beverage cooler’s beverage dispensing system needs  
regular cleaning and sterilization in order to continue serving  
draft beer with its pure brewery flavor. It is recommended that  
the delivery lines be cleaned weekly and the entire delivery  
system cleaned before a new keg is attached. This is a  
relatively simple task. You will need the following parts to  
clean your unit’s dispensing system. These parts are  
available at any draft beer dispensing equipment supplier.  
One such supplier is Micro Matic. They can be reached at  
NOTE: Read and follow the instructions that come with the  
cleaning kit before cleaning your beverage cooler.  
VACATION AND MOVING TIPS

(B) Low Profile Hand Pump  
(C) Solid Brass Faucet Cleaning Attachment  
(D) 4 oz. Bottle of Cleaning Solution  
(E) Faucet Wrench  
If the unit will not be used for several months, unplug the  
power cord, clean and dry the interior thoroughly and  
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if  
necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.  
(F) Faucet Cleaning Brush  
Mix one gallon of warm water with one ounce of the  
cleaning solution in a bucket.  
When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from  
the wall outlet. Thoroughly clean the interior and secure  
all loose items by taping them securely in place to  
prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure the unit in  
an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect  
the outside of the unit with a blanket, or similar item.  
Remove the bottle cap and fill the bottle with the solution.  
Replace the cap. Do not discard the remaining solution.  
Before removing the beverage hose from the tap or from  
the coupler, make sure the remaining beverage in the  
delivery line is blown out. This can be done by quickly  
opening and closing the regulator outlet valve.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
GUIDE  
PROBLEM  
CAUSE  
CORRECTION  
BEVERAGE COOLER OPERATION  
Beverage cooler does not run.  
Beverage cooler is plugged into a circuit that has a  
ground fault interrupt.

Beverage cooler runs too  
much or too long.  
Room or outside weather is hot.  
It’s normal for the beverage cooler to work harder  
under these conditions.  
Beverage cooler has recently been disconnected for  
a period of time.  
It takes 4 hours for the beverage cooler to cool  
down completely.  
Doors are opened too frequently or too long.  
Beverage cooler door may be slightly open.  
Temperature control is set too low.  
Warm air entering the beverage cooler causes it to  
run more. Open door less often.  
See “DOOR PROBLEMS” Section.  
Turn the control shaft to a warmer setting. Allow  
several hours for temperature to stabilize.  
Beverage cooler gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or  
poorly fitted.  
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will  
cause beverage cooler to run longer in order to  
maintain desired temperature.  
Interior beverage cooler  
temperature is too cold.  
Temperature control is set too low.  
Turn the control shaft to a warmer setting. Allow  
several hours for temperature to stabilize.  
Interior beverage cooler
