9 Periodic inspections and maintenance
The COMPACT CLASSIC is equipped with a cooling circuit which does not require
maintenance or refrigerant refilling: normally there is no need to perform
maintenance work and equipment as it is installed can remain all winter in the boat.
The compressor is specifically designed for nautical applications guaranteeing
maximum performance and durability. To maintain efficiency, seasonal maintenance
is limited to the cleaning of the condensing unit. It is necessary to brush/vacuum out
all the dust that has accumulated due to the fan. This can be done using a soft brush
and a vacuum cleaner. Operations must be carried out with the system cut off from
voltage.
When shutting off the unit for extended periods of time, first proceed with
defrosting, since the evaporator could operate at temperatures well below
freezing and therefore ice and frost may form upon it. The humidity in the air, the
temperature and the number of times the door is opened will have a significant
impact on frost formation.
The unit should always be defrosted when the layer of frost reaches a thickness of
3-4 mm or more.
To proceed with Defrosting:
- Turn off the unit by turning the thermostat to its 0 position.
- Defrosting should be performed when the products can remain as cool as possible
outside of the refrigerator compartment. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice
and frost from the evaporator, as this could damage it and result in leaks.
- Switch the unit back on only after having defrosted the evaporator and carefully
cleaned and dried the compartment. A towel can be placed at the base of
the compartment during the defrosting procedure in order to facilitate water
collection.
