Q&A

Q: What is the MDD17-E-LT used for?
A: It is a commercial slim-profile back bar beer cooler (kegerator) designed for bars, restaurants, and taprooms to store and serve draft beer from kegs with a self-contained refrigeration system.

Q: What is its capacity?
A: It has a 17.5” compact footprint and can hold up to (2) 1/6-barrel kegs, making it ideal for small bar spaces or secondary draft stations.

Q: Does it include a tap tower?
A: No. The “LT” (Less Tower) version does NOT include a draft tower or faucet system, so taps and CO₂ setup are installed separately.

Q: What cooling system does it use?
A: It uses a self-contained commercial refrigeration system (R290 hydrocarbon, 115V) with a digital thermostat for stable draft beer temperatures.

Maintenance Tip

• Clean condenser coil regularly: Remove dust and grease every 2–3 months to maintain efficient cooling and protect compressor life.
• Maintain optimal temperature (36–38°F): Keeps kegs properly chilled for consistent draft quality and freshness.
• Ensure airflow clearance: Keep ventilation areas open and operate below high ambient heat to prevent overheating.
• Sanitize interior stainless steel: Clean with non-chloride, non-abrasive cleaners to prevent corrosion and odor buildup.
• Check drain & condensate system: Ensure evaporator and drain hose are clear to avoid water accumulation.
• Inspect door gasket: Keep seals clean and tight to maintain cooling efficiency and reduce energy loss.
• Monitor refrigeration system: Periodically check compressor and thermostat for stable operation and early fault detection.
• Keg handling care: Load and unload kegs gently to protect the stainless steel floor and sliding system.
• Routine deep cleaning: Perform scheduled full interior sanitation to maintain hygiene and long-term performance.
• Professional servicing: Arrange periodic inspections to ensure long-term reliability and consistent commercial operation.
