Draft Beer Information – Concessionaire Dispensers  
Temperature  
At temperatures lower than 30° F., beer will freeze.  
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.  
When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may  
separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an  
“off” taste.  
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  
condensing unit. The evaporator fan motor runs  
continuously. The fan motors are lifetime lubricated  
and will require no oiling.  
NOTE:  
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  
OFF position until coil is defrosted.

Cleaning the Beer System – Concessionaire 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.  
33 oz. Liquid Alkaline cleaner.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Cleaning the draft beer system  
will help to eliminate the build-up  
of the following materials:  
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.  
IIIII  
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  
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.  
maintain the quality of the  
draft beer. Greenish or yel-  
lowish colored material on the faucet may indicate  
bacterial growth.  
No. 887P  
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 – Concessionaire 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.

long period of time.  
Faucet is bad, dirty or in a worn condition.  
Regulator malfunction.  
Beer foam is 25% liquid beer and 75% CO2  
gas. Don’t waste it!  
Most people prefer beer stored at 38° F.  
Beer lines and faucets require regular cleaning  
(see cleaning instructions on page 7).  
A fully-charged 4.2 lb. CO2 cylinder will  
dispense approximately 512 to 612 half barrels.  
CO2 gas gives beer its sparkling effervescence.  
It also gives beer its creamy head of foam.  
Flat Beer:  
Foamy head disappears quickly; beer lacks  
brewery fresh flavor.  
CAUSES:  
Dirty glassware.  
CO2 pressure is too low, due to leak or  
pressure setting.  
CO2 is turned off at night.  
Cooler is too cold.  
CO2 leak or defective (sticking)  
check valve.  
Sluggish CO2 regulator.
