5.1 Refrigerator & Bar Fridges
Your refrigerator and bar fridges are 100% electric
appliances that are powered by the inverter. Each is on
a separate circuit on the main electrical panel in the
hallway and upstairs. To ensure food and beverages stay
cold, keep the breaker switch labelled “REFRIGERATOR”
(indicated by green LED) and “BAR” switch (also indi-
cated by green LED) turned on.
for the best cooling performance:
• Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment;
• Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
5.2 Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen
food frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep
pre-frozen foods in the freezer compartment.
5.3 Storing Food
The food storage compartment is completely closed
and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the
required low temperature for food storage. Foods with
strong odors, should be covered.
The coldest positions in the refrigerator are underneath
the cooling evaporator and at the bottom of the
refrigerator. PLEASE STORE YOUR BEVERAGES IN A
COOLER.
5.4 Dishwasher
Please do not operate your dishwasher while your
houseboat is moving. Make sure the following are on:
1. Generator
2. Water Pump
3. Dishwasher Breaker
4. Select switch on counter to ‘DISHWASHER’
The dishwasher should run like the one at home. There
is less water pressure, so we do advise you to rinse your
dishes prior to putting them into the dishwasher.
Measure the correct amount of dishwasher detergent.
If the dishwasher is not operating correctly check the
following:
q
Is the door closed tightly and latched correctly?
q
Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dish-
washer?
q
Is the water supply turned on?
q
Try using a bucket of water to prime the pump.
q
Has the electrical power been connected?
q
Has the circuit breaker been tripped or the house
fuse blown?
q
Has the electrical power been interrupted?
5. Appliances
You should know:
REFRIGERATOR:
Most refrigerators have
operating instructions on the inside
of the door, or in the refrigerator
compartment.
DISHWASHER:
If the motor has stopped
because of overload, it will automatically
reset itself within a few minutes. If after
checking the above points, the dishwasher
still does not run or complete a cycle, call for
service.
