SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS

Before using this appliance, it must be properly positioned and

installed as described in this manual, so please read carefully. To

reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the

appliance, follow these basic precautions.

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or

remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied, do not use an

adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be

used. Do not use outlets that can be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids and do not store or use

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is

specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can

result in back or other injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must

be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with

temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be

installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water

spray or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat

sources or in areas of extreme cold.

• The appliance must be installed in accordance with state and local codes. A

standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical Code and local ordinances is

required.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not just problems of the past, junked

or abandoned appliances are still dangerous. When no longer using your old

surges/outages, it is suggested that you use a power surge protector. The

surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to

protect the appliance it is connected to. Damages due to power surges are

not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product

warranty.

• The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or

dangling to prevent accidental injury. Never unplug the appliance by pulling

the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the

receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become

frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord with cracks or abrasion

damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be

careful not to damage the power cord.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE:

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.

• Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for

approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the

cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• This appliance is designed for free standing installation.

• Place the unit on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it

is fully loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the

bottom of the unit.

• When moving your kegerator, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.

• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,

heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat

sources may increase electrical consumption.

• The kegerator should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is

less than 90 degrees Fahrenheit and higher than the lowest temperature you

want to store your kegs at. If the ambient temperature is lower than the set

temperature, the internal temperature will match the ambient temperature.

• Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.

• Plug the kegerator into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall

outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)

prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or

electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or

authorized products service center.

• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down

for 3 to 4 hours before placing a keg or any other items in the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The kegerator should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is

between 32-100 degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature is above or

below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example,

placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior

temperatures to fluctuate.

When you first plug in your Newair Kegerator, the LED display will show the

“live” cabinet temperature in Fahrenheit and the thermostat will be set to 41

degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). The operating panel includes several

other features to operate and control the temperature of the kegerator:

Press either button once and release to enter the SET mode; the LED

display will begin to flash and show the previous temperature setting, signifying

that the temperature is ready to be adjusted

Each press of either button will increase or decrease the temperature

incrementally by one degree Fahrenheit or Celsius until the desired

temperature is reached, between 32-75 degrees Fahrenheit (0-24 degrees

Celsius) NOTE: After a button is pressed, the display will flash for 5 seconds

before returning to displaying the internal temperature of the cabinet

Press the button to alternate the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius;

the corresponding pilot light adjacent to the selector will illuminate to signify

which temperature mode has been selected for display

If you are going on vacation, you may leave the kegerator operating during

vacations of less than three weeks. If the appliance will not be used for several

months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry

the interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly,

blocking it open if necessary.

PLEASE NOTE: In the event of a power failure, any modified settings will be lost

and the default settings will be restored once the power resumes.
