Cooling time depends on the machine model, the starting temperature of the keg, and the surrounding room temperature.
Operating temperature range:
- PerfectDraft (Original): stable in room temperatures up to 31°C
- PerfectDraft Pro: stable in room temperatures up to 38°C
Estimated cooling times (keg at 23°C room temperature):
- PerfectDraft (Original): up to 12 hours
- PerfectDraft Pro: up to 10 hours
If you pre-chill your keg:
- Placing the keg in your refrigerator before inserting it will significantly reduce cooling time.
- For example, a pre-chilled keg at around 7°C can reach 3°C and be ready to pour in approximately 3 hours.
- We recommend pre-chilling your keg for a minimum of 12 hours (overnight).
- For the fastest results, we recommend pre-chilling your keg whenever possible.
