Ensure that the unit is on a level surface and that  
the brakes on the casters are engaged. It is impor-  
tant that the unit is unobstructed on all sides to  
provide adequate ventilation for the refrigeration  
decks. Blocking the ventilation louvers may  
damage the compressor and void the warranty.  
Remove the bottom front grille to access the  
machine compartment. Connect the power cord  
to a separate dedicated circuit as described in  
the electrical section of this manual. Turn on the  
rocker switch labeled “circulating pump” and  
check for glycol leaks. Next, turn on the rocker  
switch labeled “condensing unit”. The flash chill  
heat exchangers and evaporator coil circuit will pull  
down to operating temperature in less than 1 hour  
in most conditions.

Cleaning the Beer System  
ArctiCold Draft Dispenser  
The entire beer system, to include the faucet, flexible  
beer line and tapping devices must be cleaned at  
regular intervals. We recommend flushing the entire  
system with fresh water immediately after a keg has  
been emptied. Every two weeks or before each use  
the system should be cleaned chemically.  
fermentation process. When the temperature of  
draft beer exceeds 50° a process of secondary  
fermentation may take place. The beer faucet  
may exhibit a white colored substance (yeast  
build up) if not cleaned on a regular basis.  
Beer Stone:  
It is recommended that you purchase Perlick’s  
Pump Type Cleaning Kit. It is equipped with an  
adapter that attaches directly to the faucet shank,  
jar with pump, cleaning solution, faucet brush and  
spanner wrench.  
All beer contains calcium which is present from  
the grains used in the brewing process. It is an  
important natural material in draft systems in  
that as it oxidizes it coats the internal parts  
of the beer lines and equipment. The beer  
stone will continue to build if the system is  
not cleaned properly or regularly and can  
cause drawing problems if it begins to flake  
off. Beer stone is present if one can see a  
brownish color on the faucet or inner wall of  
the beer line, or tobacco-like flakes in the beer.  
Cleaning the draft beer system will help to  
eliminate the buildup of the following materials:  
Bacteria:  
Beer is an excellent food for bacteria (none of  
which is harmful). Proper conditions may begin  
the growth of bacteria in draft beer and on the  
beer faucet. By regular cleaning, we prevent  
this bacterial buildup and maintain the quality  
of the draft beer. Greenish or yellowish colored  
material on the faucet may indicate bacterial  
growth.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
use a mild detergent and water to clean the inside  
and outside of the cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Never  
use a scouring pad or abrasive cleanser.  
NOTE: An industrial strength, commercial cleaner  
can be used to clean the outside of painted  
cabinets.  
Yeast:  
All domestic draft beers contain a small amount  
of yeast which remains in the beer from the

Pouring a Perfect Glass of Beer  
ArctiCold Draft Dispenser  
STEP 1  
Start with a clean glass.  
Place the glass at a 45°  
angle, one inch below  
faucet. Do not let the  
glass touch the faucet.  
Open the faucet all the  
way.  
STEP 2  
After the glass has  
reached half full,  
gradually bring the  
glass to the upright  
position  
STEP 3  
Let the remaining beer  
run straight down the  
middle of the glass.  
This ensures proper  
release of CO2 by  
producing a 34” to 1”  
foam head.  
STEP 4  
Close the faucet quickly  
and completely.

Preventative Maintenance  
ArcticCold Draft Dispenser  
Cleaning the Condenser  
Pump Motors  
The condensing coil should be inspected before  
each operation and cleaned if necessary. The  
condensing coil can be accessed by removing the  
louvered cover located on the customer side of the  
cabinet. The coil can be adequately cleaned with  
a vacuum, stiff bristled brush, or forced air. Please  
use care to ensure that the fins of the condenser  
are not bent or damaged.  
Sleeve-bearing pump motors should be oiled at  
least once per year, (see figure A).  
Casters  
The casters should be greased at least once every  
6 months. This may be required more often if the  
unit is used in dusty environments. There is a  
grease fitting located on each caster.  
92 3/4”  
Glycol Level  
26 1/2”  
24 3/4”  
The glycol system should be checked before each  
operation to ensure an adequate level. The glycol  
reservoir can be accessed by removing the lou-  
vered cover on the refrigeration deck. The reservoir  
is located at the right rear of the deck, (see figure  
A). Remove the sponge insulation and unscrew the  
cover. While using a mirror, ensure the glycol level  
is at the visible seam inside the reservoir located  
approximately 2" below the threads. Contact the  
Perlick Corporation for proper glycol solution if  
needed.
