Franklin Industries, L.L.C. FBC36ID - Manual (Page 6)

Installation
Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe down the outside
of the Beverage Center thoroughly. Use a clean cloth dampened with lukewarm water to
wipe down the inside of the Center.
Air must circulate freely in front of the Beverage Center. Avoid placing the Center 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.
The FBC36ID Beverage Center 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. Therefore, keep the front vents
unobstructed. When built-in, allow for a clearance of 4
” on the sides, top and rear of the
unit to permit air to circulate freely.
The FBC36ID Beverage Center has 4 leveling legs that should be 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.
Do Not Use an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions.
