Installation
Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe down the outside
of the Beverage Cooler thoroughly. Use a clean cloth dampened with lukewarm water to
wipe down the inside of the Cooler.
Air must circulate freely in front of the Beverage Cooler. Avoid placing the Cooler near any
source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the finish, and
nearby heat sources will cause higher electrical consumption. This model, FBC36OD, is
supplied with a plastic cover that should be placed over the unit when the Cooler is not in
use.
The FBC36OD Outdoor Beverage Cooler is designed to be either free-standing or built-in.
It has motorized fans at the back of the unit that direct compressor-generated heat away
from the compressor and through the front of the unit. Other than keeping the front vents
unobstructed, there are no clearance requirements for this unit.
The FBC36OD Beverage Cooler is supplied with two sets of feet.
a) For normal outdoor use, there are 4 rolling casters, 2 with locking mechanisms that
should be installed at the back, and 2 without locks for the front. The casters allow
the unit to be wheeled into place; the rear wheels should be locked once the unit is
in position.
b) For indoor use, there are 4 leveling legs that should be installed and then turned to
level the unit. This reduces vibrations.
Electrical Connection
Important! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly grounded and installed. The ground wire cannot be connected to a gas pipe,
heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It cannot be replaced with the
neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the ground wire, an electrical leakage
circuit breaker is also required. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not completely
understand these grounding instructions.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock could
result.
