 BOTTLE, KEG & BACK BAR COOLERS, GLASS & PLATE CHILLERS 
OPERATIONS MANUAL     
must provide a large quantity of cool, clean air. All refrigeration 
systems  operate  most  efficiently  and  trouble-free  with  cool, 
dry  air  circulation.  Avoid  locations  near  heat  and  moisture 
generating equipment including ovens, cooking ranges, fryers, 
dishwashers,  steam  kettles,  etc.,  or  in  direct  sunlight  (where 
temperatures can exceed 100°F). Do not select a location in an 
unheated  room  or  area  where  temperatures  may  drop  below 
55°F.  Air  supply  to  the  condensing  unit  is  equally  important. 
Restricting the air places an excessive heat load on the condens-
ing unit and adversely affects its operation. 
Keg  Coolers  and  Back  Bar  models  (except  BBC24)  are  com-
pletely front breathing and take in and exhaust air through the 
front grill. For your unit to operate properly, this area must be 
kept clear from obstruction. Clearance of 1” on the back and 3” 
on the sides is recommended  (see Figure 2).  Bottle Coolers 
and Glass Chillers take in air through the front grill and exhaust 
it out  the  back. For  optimum performance, air  flow  cannot be 
restricted.  Clearance  of  3”  on  the  back  and  sides  is  recom-
mended (see Figure 2).
IMPORTANT NOTE: To  assure maximum operating effi-
ciency,  your  new  cabinet  should  be  located  where  an 
unrestricted  air  supply  can  circulate  under  the  cabinet 
and through the front grill . Do not at any time obstruct 
the grill area in the front of the cabinet in any way. These 
rules  are  essential  for  maximum  cooling  capacity  and 
long life of refrigeration parts. 
Four (4) bolts secure the cabinet to the wooden skid. The bolts 
are located at each end on the underside of the skid. In order 
to  remove  these  bolts,  tilt  the  cabinet  backwards  and  place 
wooden blocks at each end in order to hold it in its tilted posi-
tion. Using a ¾” socket or open end wrench, remove the bolts 
and carefully slide the cabinet off of the skid. After skid removal, 
the cabinet should never be moved without dollies or rollers to 
avoid damage to the cabinet bottom or floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not under any circumstances, lay 
your new model on its front or sides. For a brief period 
of  time,  you  may  lay  the  cabinet  on  its back,  but  only 
when it’s properly blocked so as not to crush the back 
or end panels and also to allow provision for your hands, 
in order to set it in its upright position without damaging 
the  cabinet.  Do not plug in and operate model for at 
least three (3) hours after cabinet is set upright from 
being on its back as this can damage the compressor.
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION 
Before moving the cabinet to its final point of installation, mea-
sure all doorways or passages to assure clearance. If additional 
clearance  is  needed,  you  can  remove  the  cabinet  doors  (see 
“Removal of Doors and Door Adjustment”).
