Do Not Use an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions.
Operating Your Beverage Cooler
IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the Beverage Cooler for 24 hours after unit is set in place.
Failure to do so may result in the unit working improperly.
Two-Compartment Design
The FBC36OD Beverage Cooler has two separate compartments. Each compartment
has its own door and separate control panel. The right-hand compartment has 3
adjustable chrome-plated flat wire shelves and a wire basket to hold cans and bottles of
beverages such as beer, water and soft drinks. The lefthand compartment of the
FBC36OD comes equipped with 5 horizontal wire racks and an inclined rack that can hold
a total of 18 standard wine bottles. This design enables you to operate one or both
compartments and also allows you to set a different temperature for each compartment.
Each control panel displays the current temperature inside that compartment and allows
you to turn the interior lights on and off independently of each other. The operating
instructions below apply to both compartments and must be implemented separately.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turning On the Unit
The Beverage Cooler turns on automatically when it is plugged in.
If you want to use the Automatic Temperature (default) setting, do nothing further. The
FBC36OD will automatically set the temperature in the wine compartment at 55ºF (13ºC)
and in the beverage compartment at 41ºF (5ºC). If you want to set other temperatures, see
below.
Temperature Settings
While wines store best at temperatures around 56-58ºF, the FBC36OD outdoor unit also
allows you to store wine at drinking temperatures. Generally, RED WINE should be kept at
60-61ºF and WHITE WINE, which is usually served chilled, is best kept at 54-55ºF. For
beer and soft drinks, choose the temperature setting that is most agreeable to you and
your guests.
