Installation Clearance Requirements
When installing the kegerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. For proper clearance of the electrical plug, allow at least 1″ of clearance at the back as shown in
the diagram. An installation next to a wall will require a minimum 2-1/4″ door clearance to accommodate the
Zephyr handle. The cabinet should allow at least 24″ for the width and 34″ for the height to accommodate the
kegerator. The power cable is located on the back right of the unit and has a length of 78-11/16″ to
accommodate multiple outlet locations. Once you are ready to install the unit, you must adjust the feet to level the kegerator. This unit can be fully built-in to cabinetry and does not require any additional clearances besides
what is referenced below. The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary. Install the included Zephyr Kegerator built-in kit by following the instructions on page 25.

1. With the shutoff valve on the regulator turned off (perpendicular to the tubing), completely open the hand valve on the CO tank (FIG. L).
2. Turn the pressure adjustment knob until the desired pressure is shown on the low pressure guage (FIG. M). We recommend setting the regulator between 10-12 PSI to start and adjust later as needed. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
NOTE: Other conditions such as altitude or beer type may require additional adjustments.
3. Open the shutoff valve on the regulator so it is parallel with the tubing (FIG N).
4. The keg coupler is designed with a pressure relief valve (PRV) as shown in FIG. O. Briefly pull the ring on the PRV to allow CO gas to vent. This will permit CO gas to flow through the regulator and help obtain a more accurate reading on the low pressure guage.
NOTE: We recommend following up on any adjustment to the regulator with a brief pull of the PRV ring to ensure an accurate output reading. Check for leaks.

Normal Sounds
Your new kegerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the beverage cooler can also make noises. The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
beverage cooler.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Cleaning the Unit
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. Interior Cleaning 1. Disconnect power to the unit. 2. Open the door and remove the contents and shelves. 3. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit. 4. Reinsert the shelves and beverages. 5. Reconnect power to the unit.
Exterior Cleaning
The outside of the unit is stainless steel. The unit may be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner. Apply a nonabrasive cleaner, such as a soft scrub or sponge, dampen it, and rub the area in the same direction as the stainless steel grain.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Components Exposed to Beer
Frequent cleaning of components that are often exposed to beer will prevent bad tasting beer caused by buildup of deposits and bacteria. Cleaning these components will remove beer residue from from the tap and beer lines, keeping your beer tasting fresh.
We recommend using the Zephyr Kegerator Beer Line Cleaning Kit, PRKCLN-001, to clean your beer lines every 6 weeks or each time the beer keg is replaced to maintain fresh tasting beer.
Over time, a deep cleaning of the beer lines is required due to buildup. Please follow the instructions below for thoroughly cleaning the beer lines.
1. Close the CO hand valve and remove all pressure with the pressure relief valve.
2. Disengage the keg coupler. Remove the gas line and beer line. Handle with care to prevent spilling of residual beer.
3. Remove the tap from the tap tower using the included wrench.
4. Soak the keg coupler and tap in warm water with some beer line cleaning solution for 30 minutes, Reassemble everything once cleaned.
Drip Tray Cleaning
If there is a bad odor surrounding the kegerator, it is likely coming from the drip tray. The drip tray collects residual beer from the tap upon pouring, and if not periodically cleaned, will attract unwanted bacteria and mold. These microbes over time contribute to unpleasant smells. We suggest using these options below:
Rinse the drip tray after each use.
Clean the drip tray using soap and warm water after a few days of use.
Placing the drip tray in the dishwasher and running it.
NOTE: Waiting a few seconds longer after pouring your beer will help lessen the amount of drip into your tray.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of keg coupler is included with the Zephyr tap kit? Zephyr kegeratures include a “D” style coupler which is the most common coupler used on North American beers.
What temperature should I set my kegerator at?
This depends on the style of beer. Lighter-bodied beers should be served between 34ºF and 38ºF whereas heavier and darker beers are typically better served around 40ºF and 44ºF degrees. However, this all depends on your pallet as some people prefer their beers cold and some prefer them warmer.
How long does it take for a new beer keg to reach the desired temperature?
There are many factors that determine this, such as if the keg was kept cold. We recommend letting the beer keg sit in the kegerator for up to 24 hours. Not only does this allow the keg to get to temperature, but it also gives it time to settle and reduce foaming issues.
How long will beer remain fresh in a keg? Typically, 20 – 120 days depending on the type of beer and if it is stored at the proper temperature. IPA’s and other “hoppy” beers only last a few weeks while light-bodied beers can last for a few months.
How many beers are in a keg? Six barrel keg – 5.16gal, 55 12-oz beers Quarter barrel keg – 7.75 gal, 82 12-oz beers Half barrel keg – 15.5 gal, 165 12-oz beers
How many kegs can be dispensed from a 5lb CO tank? Six barrel keg – 13 to 16 kegs Quarter barrel keg – 9 to 11 kegs Half barrel keg – 5 to 6 kegs
How often should I clean the beer lines? Each time the keg is changed or every 6 weeks.
How do I troubleshoot CO leaks?
1. Pressurize the regulator to isolate the leak by turning the CO tank valve counterclockwise to turn on the tank.

2. If the high-pressure guage needle moves, this is a good indication that you are receiving a reading. You should be receiving a reading between 500 and 1,000 PSI, depending on the temperature of your tank, the ambient temperature, and altitude. If the needle moves, this is a good indication that you are receiving a reading.
3. Put pressure on the low-pressure side (this is the line that is pushing CO to your kegs) by turning the pressure adjusmtnet knob on the regulator clockwise until you receive a reading of 10 PSI.
4. Once the regulator is set to 10 PSI, shut off the valves that send gas out of the regulator by turning them 90 degrees.
5. Turn your CO tank off by turning the valve clockwise.
6. Check your pressure guage to see if the pin has moved at all.
If it drops, you have a leak somewhere between the shut-off valves and the tank.
First, check the connection between the CO tank and regulator. The most common place to find a leak is at this location. It can be easily fixed by tightening the connection with a wrench.
If you have a leak in the regulator, it can be fixed with Teflon tape or tightening the connection with a wrench. Be sure to only use Teflon tape on a tapered pipe thread (NPT) connection. It will fill in the gaps between the connection and prevent leakage.
If the needle doesn’t drop and your regulator is maintaining pressure, let the system sit for 15 to 20 minutes and the ncome back to see if the needle has moved. This method will spot any small leak you may have in your system.
If your needle drops, you may have a small leak in your regulator. Tighten the connection with a wrench.
If your needle still doesn’t drop, open your regulator valves one at a time to each beer line. If the needle drops after opening the valve, you’ll know that particular line or tube has a leak. Also, you will know that t he leak is occuring between the shutoff valve and the keg.
7. Now that you know the general location of the leak, to find the precise location of the leak, you need to pressurize the line again by turning the CO tank back on.
8. Mix a solution of liquid dish soap with the water in a spray bottle. Generously spray all the connections of the suspected leak zone including all threaded connections and lines.
9. If there is a leak, it will begin to bubble to indicate a leak at that location, when you spray the connections.
If the leak is at the connection, tighten the connection with a wrench.
If the leak is on a hose, cut the damaged section out or replace it with a new hose.
If the leak is at the keg coupler connection, tighten until snug. If the silicone check valve in the coupler is damaged, replace it with the spare part from your spare parts bag.
