4. Oppsett
Utpakking og plassering:
- Fjern forsiktig alt emballasjemateriale.
- Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 4 inches of space on the sides and back).
- Viktig: Allow the kegerator to sit upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential compressor damage.
- If using as a freestanding unit, attach the casters for easy mobility.
- Install the guard rail and drip tray on the top surface of the unit.
Converting to Refrigerator Mode (Optional):
This unit can function as a standard refrigerator by removing the keg and tapping kit and installing the provided wire shelves.
- Sørg for at enheten er koblet fra.
- Remove the beer tower and any kegs or CO2 tanks.
- Insert the three wire shelves into the designated slots inside the unit.
- The door is reversible; refer to the separate door reversal instructions if you wish to change the door swing direction.
