Franklin Industries, L.L.C. FBC36ID - Manual (Page 9)

Timed Defrosting
An important feature of the FBC36ID Beverage Center 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 FBC36ID is 30 minutes.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Outside
Unplug your Beverage Center. Clean the outside of the 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 the Center.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug your Beverage Center and remove its contents. Rinse the inside surfaces with
plain water and dry the chrome racks, baskets and shelving.
Replacement of the Interior Lights
Warning: To avoid an electric shock, unplug the unit when replacing a lamp bulb.
The lamp base is E26; the rated power of the bulb is 15W. Use a bulb of the same rating
when replacing. When replacing a light bulb, remove the screw at the back of the lamp,
then, to release the cover, push it firmly backward and then carefully pull down. Replace
bulb with the same size and type of bulb and fix the cover back into place.
