■ 27500F
Probable Cause: Beer Flow Control Handle is in CLEAN position.
Solution:

Solution: First, turn Beer Flow Control Handle to OFF position then
turn Beer Flow Control Handle to CLEAN position. Wait
five seconds then turn Beer Flow Control Handle to
ON position.
Probable Cause: Beer Flow Control Handle is OFF.
Solution: Turn Beer Flow Control Handle to CLEAN position.
