Video Guide

Please refer to this video for a detailed walkthrough on assembling a kegerator. This is specific to the Series X range, but most of the information is relevant to all kegerator setups

Setup & Assembly

Before plugging in the unit, ensure it has been standing upright for at least 24 hours after movement

Tools Required: Philips head screwdriver and wrench or spanner

Preparation

• Cut the straps securing the carton. WIth the assistance of another person, carefully lift the carton off the Grand Deluxe

• Remove the protective foam and plastic cover

• Remove any protective plastic from the kegerator before first use

• Using a Philips head screwdriver, carefully unscrew the brackets that secure the Grand Deluxe to the shipping pallet

Install Castors

Using the supplied bolts, carefully install the castors in each corner and the middle of the Grand Deluxe. If tiliting the unit to install the castor wheels, ensure that the unit is left upright for 24 hours before turning on.

Plumb Drip Tray(s)

The contersunk drip trays are plumbed inside and outside the Grand Deluxe. The drain tube can be emptied into a bucket or similar and simply emptied periodically, or (using the external barb) this can be drained directly to a suitable floor drain.

Installing MK4 Regulator onto CO2 Cylinder

• Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise

• Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and ensure there is a nylon regulator washer between the type 30 nut and stem and the CO2 cylinder

• Hand tighten the nut and stem onto the CO2 cylinder then tighten further with a 7 in 1 faucet tap wrench/spanner

Attach EVABarrier to the regulator

• The Mk4 regulator comes as standard with an 8mm x FFL duotight Fitting (KL06880)

• Make sure the end of the EVABarrier hose doesn’t have any burrs and is cut straight and cleanly. Push the EVABarrier hose line firmly into the duotight fitting on the regulator and ensure it is secure up to the line indicated on the 8mm x FFL duotight fitting

• On the right hand side of the Grand Deluxe is a gas port. This will need to be drilled out (we recommend an 8mm bit for a good fit) to accomodate the gas line.

• The gas tubing can then be fed through the gas port into the kegerator. The gas line will also need to be tee'd off if you have two or more taps (duotight tee pieces included with Font Kit)

Assembling Font Kits

Single, Double and Triple Tap Fonts

1. Remove the cap from the top of the font and ensure the font collar is present at the base of the font prior to attaching any duotight compatible short shanks

2. Feed the length of beer line through the tap hole on the front of the font and feed the beer line through the slimline nut and convex collet on the inside of the font

3. Push a 6.5mm x 8mm reducer onto the back of the duotight compatible short shank

4. Feed the tail and thread of the duotight compatible short shank through the tap hole and align the curvature of the shank and the concave collet with the curvature of the font

5. Push each length of beer line into a 6.5mm x 8mm reducer which is attached to a short shank

6. Tighten the slimline nut onto the thread of the duotight compatible short shank to secure the shank to the font tower

7. Repeat for all other duotight compatible short shanks and beer lines

8. Feed the beer lines from the duotight compatible short shanks into the kegerator

9. Attach the font to the top of the kegerator by screwing the font onto the font mounting points using four metric M5 stainless steel screws.

10. Attach each EVABarrier beer line to a liquid ball lock disconnect or keg coupler

11. Hand-tighten the tap (sold separately) onto the duotight compatible short shank

12. Tighten the short shank collar onto the tap using a 7 in 1 tap wrench/spanner

Quadruple Tap Font

1. First, attach the font to the top of the kegerator using four metric M5 stainless steel screws. The mounting points can be found on the inside of the font and can be attached using a long screwdriver or flexible drill bit

2. Then attach the duotight compatible short shanks, duotight 6.5mm x 8mm reducer and beer line to the font tower as described in step 11. It is easiest to attach the shanks to the font tower in the order shown

3. Feed the beer lines from the duotight compatible short shanks into the kegerator.

4. Attach each EVABarrier beer line to a ball lock disconnect or keg coupler

5. Hand-tighten the tap (sold separately) onto the duotight compatible short shank

6. Tighten the short shank collar onto the tap using a 7 in 1 tap wrench/spanner

Programming Mode

The Dixell Controller has several advanced programabble features that can be tailired for individual situtations. In most ases, the default values will suit. However, as this is a commercial unit, we recommend programming the Defrost Cycle to a suitable length and interval to avoid ice build up. If ice is allowed to build up inside the compressor housing, this will negatively affect performance and potentially void warranty.

Adjusting Parameters

The following parameters can be selected and adjusted in Programming Mode. To adjust any parameter, enter Programming Mode and navigate to the desired parameter

Adjust Hysteresis

Hysteresis is the allowed differential from the Set Point Temperature before the compressor (cooling) operates. Thus, if the Set Point Temperature is 2°C and the Hysteresis is 2°C then the compressor will operate when the internal temperature reads 4°C, and it will continue to operate until the Set Point Temperature of 2°C is reached. The default hysteresis is 2°C, which is appropriate for most circumstances.

Note: Decreasing the hysteresis can increase power consumption

To Adjust the Hysteresis [Hy]

1. Enter Programming Mode and navigate to Hy using theor buttons

2. The Differential Range can be adjusted between 0.1-25°C or 1-45°F. The default is 4°C

3. Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Hysteresis

4. Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Adjust Minimum Set Point [LS]

1. Enter Programming Mode and navigate to LS using theor buttons

2. The Minimum Set Point can be adjusted down to -55°C or -67°F. The default is 0°C

3. Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Minimum Set Point

4. Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Adjust Maximum Set Point [US]

1. Enter Programming Mode and navigate to US using theor buttons

2. The Maximum Set Point can be adjusted up to 99°C or °F. The default is 10°C

3. Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Maximum Set Point

4. Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Temperature Probe Calibration [ot]

If there is a large variance between the displayed temperature (IE the temperature of the internal temperature probe and the actual internal temperature of the kegerator (as measureed by a calibrated thermometer) then the Temperature Offset can be adjusted from -9.9°C to +9.9°C

A Temperature Offset will offset the displayed temperature by the entered amount.

Thus, if the displayed temperature is 2°C but the actual internal temperature is 4°C, and offset of +2°C is required.

Note: In most cases this is not necessary to be adjusted. There will be minor temperature differences in the kegerator due to airflow etc. This may also be pre-adjusted in the factory.

To Adjust the Temperature Probe Offset [ot]

1. Enter Programming Mode and navigate to ot using theor buttons

2. The Probe Calibration Offset can be adjusted from -9.9°C to +9.9°C. This may be at a value other than 0°C due to factory calibration.

3. Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Probe Calibration Offset

4. Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Change Display Units (Celsius/Fahrenheit) [CF]

1. Enter Programming Mode and navigate to CF using theor buttons

2. Use theor buttons to cycle the display between Cesius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F)

3. Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Defrost Cycle Adjustments

The Grand Deluxe 3 range are commercial units. As such, they have very powerful compressors. It is important that an adequate Defrost Cycle is programmed in to ensure that ice does not build up on the cooling fins. Failure to program an adequate defrost cycle can reduce the performance of the unit and may also void warranty.

Defrost Interval (interval between defrost cycles) [id]

• Enter Programming Mode and navigate to ot using theor buttons

• The Defrost Interval can be adjusted from 0-99 hours. The default is 6

• Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Defrost Interval

• Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Maximum defrost length [Nd]

• Enter Programming Mode and navigate to ot using theor buttons

• The Maximum defrost length can be adjusted from 0-99 minutes. The default is 20

• Use theor buttons to change the value of the parameter to the desired Defrost length

• Press the Button to store the new parameter. This will also move to the next parameter

Beer is too frothy or no beer pours when the tap is opened

• Check that the pressure on the regulator is set to the correct PSI and that the keg is beer is not over carbonated. If the beer is over carbonated release the pressure in the keg by pulling on the pressure relief valve and then set the regulator to the correct PSI. Typically for most beers in a short draw system around 10-12psi will give a good pour

• If the beer line is too short then it can pour with too much froth, consider increasing the length of your beer line. KL06224 4mm x 8mm EVABarrier will normally pour well at around 1.8-2m

• If the beer contains a lot of hop matter there could be hop matter stuck in the liquid dip tube or liquid post of the keg. To check for and fix this, release the pressure in the keg by pulling on the pressure relief valve. Remove the liquid post using the correct sized wrench/spanner. Remove the liquid dip tube and ensure no hop matter is blocking the dip tube or the post

Kegerator is not cooling to the set temperature

• If you are in a very hot environment remove the font tube(s) from the font tower and instead direct it into the kegerator to improve air flow throughout the fridge. This is because of ‘heat ingress’ into the system

• Place a jug of water in the fridge and measure the temperature of the water after 12 hours in the fridge to determine if the thermostat is reading the correct temperature. If this needs to be adjusted please refer to Temperature Calibration

• Inspect inside the fan housing for ice build up. If there is visible ice build up run a manual defrost cycle by pressing theManual Defrost Button for more than 2 seconds to start a defrost cycle manually. The Grand Deluxe range are commercial kegerators with very powerful compressors. It is quite common to need to manually adjust the default Defrost Interval and Length settings to suit the conditions. Periodically inspect inside thew compressor housing for ice build up and increase the durtation cycle of the Defrost as required to prevent ice build up.
