Operation
Temperature Control:
The kegerator features thermostatic temperature control, allowing you to maintain the interior temperature between 35°F and 50°F (1.7°C to 10°C). Use the control panel on the front of the unit to adjust the temperature to your desired setting.
Dispensing Beer:
Once the keg is properly installed and chilled, pull the tap handle forward to dispense beer. Ensure the CO2 pressure is set correctly for optimal flow and carbonation.
Converting to Refrigerator:
To use the unit as a standard refrigerator, remove the keg and dispensing components. Install the adjustable storage racks (included) to store food or beverages. This allows for versatile use beyond just dispensing draft beer.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Garvee Kegerator, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
