The following directions do not replace the instructions provided in the manufacturer’s
manual, delivered separately.
For knowing the location of the fridges components, consult the diagram at page 40.
Standard fridge
The standard fridge system includes:
•
In the area between the galley hob and the sinks there is the fridge, with a capacity
of about 150 litres. It can be opened from the top, by lifting its lid, and it is
equipped with racks for a more functional arrangement of its contents.
•
A 12 Vdc electrical compressor with its ventilated condenser, located in an appropriate room
in the lower part of the sink cabinet, and accessible opening the rubbish bin door
•
The above-mentioned room is also equipped with suitable grilles, one of which is installed on
the bulkhead towards the bow and connects the room to the adjacent dinette pouf; two more
grilles are located in the sink cabinet, one on each door. The pouf has a further grille on its
bulkhead towards the bow; this will guarantee good and necessary ventilation.
•
A thermostat to adjust the temperature, easily accessible by lifting the fridge lid.
•
An evaporator, following the three vertical sides inside the fridge.
•
The fridge unit is activated by the FRIDGE
switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel (see page
50).
•
The fridge unit is then started by the thermostat located inside the fridge.
•
In the bottom of the fridge there is a drain hole that allows the condensation water to be
periodically collected in a bottle or another container and then thrown away. For carrying out
this operation, under the galley floorboard, near the sink drain valve, there is a short pipe with
a tap on its end which can be opened to drain the water.
Optional fridge
•
It is a normal domestic-type fridge, with a capacity of about 45 litres, supplied by
12 Vdc power, with a front-opening door and located under the galley work
surface.
•
Its compressor-condenser unit is located beside the standard fridge one and makes use of the
same ventilation grilles.
•
Inside the fridge there are the evaporator and the thermostat to adjust the temperature.
