In no event shall FBD be liable or obligated to any customer or to any third party for incidental, consequential, or special damages, regardless of the theory of liability, arising out of, or in any manner related to FBD parts, equipment or any delay with respect to its delivery.
1. SAFETY 1.1 Electrical This dispenser must be properly electrically grounded to avoid possible fatal electrical shock or serious injury to the operator. The power cord is provided with a three-prong grounded plug. If a three-hole grounded electrical outlet is not available, use an approved method to ground the dispenser. Only qualified electricians should perform this task and the work performed should meet all applicable codes.
4. RECEIVING AND UNPACKING DISPENSER 4.1 Receiving Each dispenser is tested and thoroughly inspected before shipment. At the time of shipment, the carrier accepts the dispenser and any claim for damages must be made with the carrier. Upon receiving the dispens- er from the delivering carrier, carefully inspect carton for visible indication of damage.
5.3 Dispenser Mounting Countertop - Flush Mounting: One method of installation is to set the dispenser directly on a countertop. If permanently mounting to the countertop, use the mounting information located in the “Diagrams and Schematics” section of this manual to drill holes in the countertop. Once installed, with side panels removed, seal the dispenser to the countertop using a bead of clear silicone caulk around the base of the frame.
Note: If local codes require the installation of a backflow prevention device to be installed on the water supply line before connecting to the dispenser, one can be purchased from FBD under part number 12-2272-0001. The backflow device must have a line connected to the vent that diverts any flow to a drain. Failure to divert flow can result in water overflow.
5.7 Connecting to Syrup Supply For installations requiring syrup lines less than 50 ft (15 m) in length, use tubing with a minimum ID of 3/8”. Run the syrup lines from the pumps to the rear of the dispenser and connect to the proper syrup fitting (Figure 5.1). For installations requiring syrup lines over 50 ft (15 m) in length, use tubing with a minimum ID of 1/2”.
Plug the dispenser into the power supply and verify the dispenser turns on by looking at the display behind the merchandiser (see Section 5.4). The LCD display should illuminate and should read "COPYRIGHT 94-2019 FBD" on the bottom line. See Section 10 for additional information on keypad buttons and how to navigate through menus.
6.3 CO Purge Follow these steps to purge air from the barrels: Turn off the water and syrup supply shutoff valves to the dispenser (Section 5.5). Open the CO supply device and adjust the regulator on one of the solution modules to 60 psig (414 kPag).
Page 12
Open the sample valve. Adjust the water flow rate to 1.5 oz/sec (44.4 ml/sec) by dispensing water from the solution module through the sample port for 10 seconds into a measuring cup. The amount measured should be 15 oz (444 ml). Turn the flow control clockwise to increase the flow and counterclockwise to reduce the flow.
6.5 Filling Barrel The barrel, or freeze chamber, must be purged of air before filling with product. Failure to displace the air with will result in poor drink quality. Open the CO shutoff valve on the solution module for barrel 1. Select BARREL 1 on the keypad, then the FILL button to begin filling the barrel with product.
7. DISPENSER OPERATION There are a few critical settings that affect drink quality. These settings are preset when you receive the dis- penser from the factory. However, due to variations that occur (e.g., in operating environments, syrups, dis- penser differences, etc.), it may be necessary to make minor adjustments to these critical settings. Adjustments are easily made using the keypad located behind the merchandiser door at the front of the machine*, or by adjusting the CO regulator located behind the access panel behind the drip tray.
7.3 Regulated CO Injection Pressure The CO injection pressure is set by adjusting the CO regulators on the solution module, located behind the access panel below the keypad in the front of the machine. The CO regulators should be set at 58 to 62 psig (400 to 427 kPag).
7.6 Setting Wake/Sleep Times To program Wake/Sleep times use the following steps: In the Settings menu, use the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll to WAKE TIME. Press the SELECT key and hour numbers will flash. Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the hour. Press the SELECT key again to make the minutes flash. Use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the minutes. Press the SELECT key again when done.
7.10 Defrosting To maintain optimal product quality a frozen drink must be periodically defrosted because ice crystals grow in size over time and degraded the consistency and texture of the drink. The best drink quality is always right after defrost and refreeze. Naturally, it is ideal for the dispenser to be ready to serve drinks at all times so a balance between defrost and up time must be maintained.
8. CLEANING AND SANITIZING THE UNIT 8.1 General Information The dispensers are shipped from the factory cleaned and sanitized. After installation of the dispenser, the op- erator must provide continuous maintenance as described in this manual and/or local codes to ensure proper operation and sanitation requirements are met.

Take an empty BIB and cut off the connector. Attach the BIB connector to the connector on the syrup line to serve as a BIB adapter. This will open up the syrup line connector and allow for cleaning solution to be pumped into the dispenser. Open the sample valve unitl water is purged from the system.
9. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 9.1 Air Filter Cleaning The air filter must be cleaned monthly to ensure proper operation of the dispenser. A dirty air filter will reduce the refrigeration capacity and can potentially damage the compressor. To remove the filter, start by removing the left and right side panels.
The motor rear seals must be replaced annually. Failure to do so can result in rear seal leaks and potential motor failures. If the dispenser has been in storage for longer than 90 days, FBD recommends that the rear seals be replaced. The rear seal can be replaced from the front of the dispenser. The barrel must be drained and the faceplate removed to access the seal.
10. MENUS AND NAVIGATION 10.1 Keypad and Buttons The keypad is the user interface point and allows for control of the dispenser and navigation of the menus. Please review the keypad layout (Figure 10.1) to familiarize yourself with the interface. DEFROST BARREL RUN/OFF...
10.3 Navigation/Selection Buttons The remaining buttons on the keypad (Figure 10.1) are used to navigate through the menus or to select options and functions. SELECT The SELECT button allows the operator to enter changes in the dispenser programming and it allows the operator to move into different levels in the menu.
10.5 Accessing and Changing Values The same procedure for changing values applies to all levels of the control panel. Parameters of the control system can be monitored or changed as follows. The UP and DOWN scroll buttons can be used to move to the next mode or option on the menu.

Level 2 Level 2 provides access to the values and settings for each of the following menus: Settings Menu, Readouts Menu, and Manual ON/OFF Menu. It also gives access to the values for Machine Totals (shown under Level 3 menu). Settings Menu: Used to make adjustments to machine settings.
Page 26
Level 3 Level 3 provides access to the machine values or usage information of the dispenser during operation for barrel 1 (Side 1 Totals), barrel 2 (Side 2 Totals), common dispenser values (Common Totals), and access to reset any of these values. Note: Common settings or readouts are values or readings that affect or are common to both barrels.
