Regulator and
Installing the CO
2
Cylinder Holder
Warning
CO
2
can be dangerous! CO
2
cylinders contain high-pressured gas, which can be
hazardous if handled improperly. Please handle with care.
Note
This section describes general CO
2
and keg installation. For specific
instructions, see the instructions included in the accessory box.
1. To install the CO
2
gas line tube to the regulator, attach one end of the CO
2
tube,
to the hose barb connection on the CO
2
regulator. Secure the tube by using one of
the two self-locking red plastic snap-on clamps. With a pair of pliers or a clamp
crimper, snap the red clamp on tightly. This ensures that there are no leaks.
2. Remove the plug located at the exterior back. Save it for later in case you decide
to convert the unit into an “all refrigerator.” Run the other end of the CO
2
tubing
through the open hole through the inside of the cabinet.
3. Insert a washer (if provided in the kit) into the regulator to cylinder attachment
nut. This step is only required if the regulator does not have a gasket.
4. Make sure the CO
2
tank is full and that the valve is closed. Now attach the CO
2
regulator to the CO
2
cylinder by screwing the loose golden regulator nut into the
CO
2
cylinder valve and tighten with an adjustable wrench.
5. To mount the CO
2
cylinder holder to the cabinet, simply match up the holes on
the holder with the four screws protruding out of the back of the unit, and push
down to lock the holder in place. Position the CO
2
cylinder in the holder in a
manner that you would be able to read the numbers on the gauges and have easy
access to the shut-off valve. Note that the CO
2
cylinder holder is designed to fit
CO
2
cylinders with up to 5 pounds in capacity. Smaller and larger CO
2
cylinders
are acceptable for use as well.
Note: your CO
2
cylinder is shipped empty. When you purchase your first keg of beer,
have your beer distributor fill the CO
2
cylinder. If they are unable to recommend a
company, another option is to look in your phone book under Fire Extinguishers or
Fire and Safety Equipment; companies that refill fire extinguishers are typically
willing to to fill CO
2
cylinders. Although price will vary with each market area, the
average cost for filling a 5 Lb CO
2
gas cylinder is $14.
