Dispensed beer tempera-
ture is too warm (may
result in excessive foam-
ing)
A. Line chiller glycol tank is
too warm.
B. Walk-in cooler tempera-
ture is too warm.
C. Line chiller is not run-
ning.
A. Glycol bath should be maintained between 28ºF and 32ºF.
If it is warmer, adjust the thermostat to a colder setting.
B. The walk-in cooler temperature should be maintained
between 35ºF and 40ºF. Place a thermometer in a glass
of water inside the walk-in cooler for two hours to check
the temperature inside the walk-in.
C. Check that the line chiller power cord is plugged in or a
circuit breaker is not blown.
The glycol in your Glastender line chiller is very important to the proper operation of your remote beer system. Always follow the
maintenance procedures outlined on page 5 of this manual. Failure to properly maintain the glycol will lead to trouble. If the glycol
is too weak, ice will build up inside the glycol bath* allowing the temperature to rise. If the glycol level is too low, the temperature
will also rise. If you are having trouble, start by checking the glycol concentration and level in your line chiller. The following trouble
shooting guide will help for other common situations. If problems persist after you have eliminated all simple solutions, contact the
original system installer or your local service rep.

to inadequate walk-in
cooler temperature.
C. Different beers have

beer line.
A. Clean and sanitize the beer system or contact the local
line cleaning contractor.
B. Correct the walk-in cooler temperature problem, check
line chiller operation, then clean and sanitize the beer
system.
C. Clean and sanitize the beer system before switching to a
new beer supply.
* CAUTION: If there is a build-up of ice on the evaporator coils in the glycol bath of your line chiller, it must be thawed. To thaw the ice,
unplug the line chiller and add hot water to the bath. Once thawed, the coolant solution should be drained and replaced with the proper mixture
of glycol and water. NEVER USE A SHARP INSTRUMENT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE EVAPORATOR COILS. It will puncture the
evaporator lines and destroy the line chiller
