Why does the door on my new refrigerator stick when closed?

Gaskets on new units may need to be worked in before operating at normal suction.

How do I know if my product is commercially approved?

Summit and Accucold carry an extensive collection of products designed for commercial use. These units are listed to ANSI-NSF sanitation standards by one of the main regulating bodies: NSF, UL, ETL, or CSA. Products that meet NSF standards and are commercially listed will usually say "Commercially Approved" in their product preview and on their product page. You can also identify which regulating body has listed the unit on the product page by looking for the specification "Sanitation."

What does the Proposition 65 warning mean?

Appliances could produce or may contain some products which are on a list of substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses, including all appliance manufacturers and retailers, to warn customers of potential exposure of such substances, even if the amount of said chemicals is minute. To minimize exposure to these substances, always install, operate, and maintain this product according to the "use and care" manual.

What is draft beer?

Draft beer is a recognized form of fresh and flavorful beer on tap from a kegerator system. In most cases, this form of beer is served at bars or restaurants as a flavorful and inexpensive beer.  However, you can enjoy the same experience at home with a residential kegerator.

How do kegerators or beer dispensers affect the storage temperature?

Temperature is a crucial determinant of the taste of draft beer.  Constant temperature is the most important element in beer storage.  A kegerator keeps beer chilled at proper beer storage temperature, allowing you to keep beer for extended periods of time without losing quality or freshness. Because you usually only open the kegerator door when loading or unloading a keg, the temperature also remains more consistent than in a standard refrigerator that may experience more fluctuations with more activity.
