To operate it, turn on the “Freezer” switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel (see page 50). 

 
   

Warning

 

 

Do  not  place  any  object  in  the  compressor/condenser  units’  room,  as  they  could 
damage  the  compressor  in  case  of  a  sudden  movement  and  would  reduce  the 
necessary ventilation for a normal cooling. 

 

 

When  stowing  bottles  and  food  in  the  fridge,  be  careful  not  to  damage  the  metal  pipes 
connected to the cooling plate (evaporator). 

 

 

Once  adjusted  the  wished  temperature,  do  not  use  the  thermostat  as  fridge  switch;  for this 
function, please use the suitable switch in the electrical panel. 

 

The  refrigerating  system  has  been installed  so  as to  optimize  the  efficiency  of the  system  itself. 
Obviously,  there  will  be  a  larger  consumption  when  it  begins  functioning,  until  it  reaches  the 
wished temperature. 

 
  

Fridge maintenance  

 

 

 Do not clog the condensation water drain hole of the standard fridge. 

 

 

Keep the inside of the fridge perfectly clean, in order to avoid foul smells. 

 
 

 

When living the boat for a long time, we recommend you to leave the standard 

fridge lid and the optional fridge front-opening door half-open. 

 

 

As  time  goes  by,  you  could  notice  small  gas  leaks  in  the  refrigerating  system 

with  a  consequent  partial  or  total  reduction  of  its  working  order.  In  this  case, 
you have to check and, if necessary, refill the cooling gas, calling a specialized 
technician. 

 

 

 

We recommend you to consult the use and maintenance manual  provided 

by the manufacturer and delivered separately.
