out appliances pose a risk
of entrapment to children.
• The refrigerator system of this appliance is filled with
refrigerant and insulating substances which should be
treated and processed separately. Call your nearest
service agent or specialized servicing center. If you are
unable to locate one, contact your local authorities for
proper disposal instructions. Be careful not to damage
any of the refrigeration lines of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Beer is easily available with Danby's new Keg Cooler, however,
it is not intended to be available to people under the legal age
to consume beer. A beer faucet lock kit for the purpose of
limiting access, is readily available and can be purchased
through our after sales service department (see ‘Optional

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...
Regular cleaning and maintenance is a key factor in safe guarding the longevity of
the keg, the quality of the dispensed beer as well as trouble free day to day operation
of your Keg Cooler.
• There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice
depositing on the evaporator is defrosted automatically. Ice
...of the Keg
build-up on the evaporator during compressor operation;
will (when the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically.
Defrost water collects inside the drain trough and
Cooler
passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a drain
pan situated above the compressor, where it evaporates.
• Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning and/or
servicing the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive
cleaning agents as they can damage the control panel
and/or painted surfaces. Clean the exterior cabinet with
warm water and a mild detergent. Clean the interior with
warm water and a mild detergent, adding one or two
spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the appliance
to power supply.
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of
time, disconnect the power cord. Clean the appliance and
leave the door slightly open to reduce mold/mildew from
accumulating inside the cabinet.
... of the Dispense
System
Beer lines have to periodically be cleaned because of a crystallized build up which forms on the fittings,
lines and taps commonly referred to as “beerstore”. If the “beerstore” is not completely removed in a
cleaning process it will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms which will cause an
undesirable flavor and/or cause the beer to go flat. Sufficient “beerstore” will also lead to dispense
problems ranging from ‘wild’ beer (too much foam) to flat beer, regardless of the carbonation levels or
quality (age) of the beer in the keg.
Scheduled line and faucet cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of
“beerstore" protecting the integrity of the product and condition of the dispense system and seals. The
dispenser (beer) line should be cleaned approximately once every three (3) weeks or every other keg -
which ever comes first. The dispenser faucet should be cleaned on a weekly basis or prior to every use if
not used on a regular basis. Note: If you have trouble manipulating the faucet lever, this is usually
indicative that it may require cleaning. *DO NOT apply force to move the handle in this situation, as this will
likely lead to damaging the handle and/or faucet, and will not be covered by your warranty.
A standard cleaning kit will perform approximately eight (8) scheduled line cleanings.
Line cleaning kits are readily available and can be purchased through our after sales service department.
For more information please call 1-800 26-DANBY (1-800-263-2629)
17
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE...
... of the “Beer
Clean” Glassware
• Maintain strict sanitary conditions in the glass washing
area.
• Never wash glassware with utensils or dishes used to
serve food. Food particles and/or residue can effect the
quality/taste of draught beer.
• Regular dish detergents are fat-based and will leave a
slight oily film on the glass, which will cause the beer to go
flat quickly. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you
use a detergent that is designed specifically for beer glass
cleaning which is odor-free and non-fat based, instead of
regular liquid detergents.
• Avoid drying glassware with towels as they tend to leave
traces of lint on the surface of the glass.
• We recommend that you use beer glassware only for beer.
Dairy and other food products leave a residue which can
effect the quality/taste of the draught.
... of the CO2
Pressure
• Periodically monitor the pressure regulators to ensure applied
operating pressures remain constant. (10~12psi/lbs)
• Always keep equipment in good repair.
• Draught Beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated
cabinet.
... of the Beer Keg
• Draught Beer products have a shelf life, which on "average"
is 30 days after the keg is tapped. By keeping the beer keg
pressurized, (with CO ) and with proper maintenance of the
Draught Beer should be treat-
ed as a food product.
2
dispense system, the shelf life can be extended to approximatly
60 days (or more).
It is very important that you
store and handle it properly.
• Beer Kegs should be stored (refrigerated) separately from
other food products.
