Auxiliary Equipment Operation
REFRIGERATOR-TYPICAL
OVERVIEW
Your refrigerator is designed to operate in the tough
marine environment. It can withstand a heel angle up to
30 degrees for a short time which makes it very adaptable
for marine use. A few tips:
1. Th e salon (upper deck) refrigerator uses AC/DC cur-
rent switching automatically as needed. Turn on the
breaker at the ship’s AC/DC service panel before activat-
ing the refrigerator.
2. Unnecessary opening of the refrigerator door will
increase power consumption.
3. Keep the inside of the unit clean and dry.
4. Remove any water that may collect on the shelf under
the freezer compartment.
5. When leaving the vessel for extended periods of time
turn the breaker off at the ship’s service panel. Remove
any food from the unit. Prop the door open slightly be-
fore leaving the vessel. Th
is helps air out the refrigerator.
6. Note: Th e unit will keep food cold 5-6 hours without
any DC power providing the food is chilled already.
7. It is important that the refrigerator compressor/con-
denser be well ventilated so cooler air can enter from the
bottom and warm air can exit the top of the unit. Never
block any of the ventilation grilles.
Note:
If installed, the refreshment center refrigerator (lower
deck) uses 120 volts. Th
e cockpit refrigerator utilizes 12
volts DC.
