9.1 FRIDGE
General points
- The fridge comprises 3 components: the compressor, the evaporator and the condenser. These components are
connected by a closed refrigerant gas circuit. The fridge is air-cooled.
- The fridge is DC powered. It is designed to chill food and drink. Any other use is dangerous and must be strictly avoided.
- A breaker protects the electrical circuit.
- The ON/OFF start button is located on the fridge.
- The thermostat is in the inside compartment of the fridge. It enables selection of the desired temperature setting for the
inside of the fridge.
- The refrigration power can be affected by:
- The ambient temperature,
- The quantity of food to chill,
- The frequency with which the door is opened.
Maintenance
- Clean the evaporator with a damp cloth at least once a year. Never use cleaners which are abrasive or acidic, or which
contain solvents, for cleaning the evaporator.
- Regularly clean the fridge door joint with a damp cloth.
- Regularly defrost the fridge.
- When winterising the boat, leave the fridge door/icebox cover open to prevent mould and odours from developing.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for
use and maintenance.
- Never heat or use tools to defrost the inside
of the fridge more quickly (doing so may damage
the interior surface).
- Never obstruct the heat exchanger of the
fridge.
