Racks, Basket and Shelving
The racks, shelves and basket in your unit are chrome-plated so they will not rust. The
racks pull out only 1/3 of the way. This is a safety feature so that neither the machine nor
the rack will tip over. Space between shelves is adjustable.
Special Features of the FBC36OD Outdoor Beverage Cooler
Because this model is intended for outdoor use, it has several noteworthy features.
The outer cabinet of the unit is made of weather-resistant stainless steel. The plastic trim
and the glass in the doors have been specially treated to minimize the effects of the sun’s
harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This unit can withstand outdoor temperatures from
100ºF to 25ºF, and has a built-in heater that will activate itself automatically when the
temperature gets too low. The FBC36OD has been “tropicalized” with extra condenser
lines to help handle excessive ambient temperatures.
Timed Defrosting
Another feature of the FBC36OD beverage cooler is that the defrosting cycle will begin
automatically once the power has been on for 12 hours. Because of the low temperatures
inside the unit, frost or ice may begin to accumulate. During the defrosting cycle, the
interior fans run and the ice melts. The water thus produced flows to the bottom of the unit
and collects in the drip tray on top of the compressor, where heat from the compressor
should evaporate it. (Check occasionally to see if the tray needs to be dumped manually.)
When the defrosting cycle is complete, the unit will resume normal operation.
During the defrosting cycle, the LCD display will show the average temperature inside the
unit, and the word STOP will flash once a second. During defrosting, temperatures inside
the unit will rise a little.
Normal defrosting time for the FBC36OD is 20 minutes.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Outside
Unplug your Beverage Cooler. Clean the outside of your unit with a cloth dampened in
mild soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To clean the door gasket, use only mild
soapy water. Never use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of your Cooler.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug your Beverage Cooler and remove its contents. Rinse the inside surfaces with
plain water and dry the chrome racks, basket and shelving.
