10 DOMESTIC APPLIANCES
10.1 FRIDGE / COOLER
General points
- The fridge is composed of 3 components: the compressor, the evaporator and the
condenser. These components are connected by a closed circuit 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 forbidden.
- A breaker protects the electrical circuit.
- The icebox without an evaporator keeps the food and drink chilled.
- The ON/OFF start button is located on the fridge.
- The thermostat is in the inside compartment of the fridge. It enables the 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 of opening the door.
Maintenance
- Clean the evaporator with a damp cloth at least once a year. Never use cleaners which are
abrasive, acid or which contain solvents for cleaning the evaporator.
- Regularly clean the fridge/icebox door seal with a damp cloth.
- Regularly defrost the fridge.
- When winterising the boat, leave the fridge door/icebox cover open to prevent mould and
smells from developing.
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance.
- Never heat or use tools to defrost the inside of the fridge more quickly (risk of damaging
the interior surface).
