Caution

Frigoboat Appliance (opt)

◊

On the Grand Soleil 43' is possible to install a mechanical
compressor "Frigoboat" (Opt) connected to the engine.

• It is driven by the engine and it is positioned in its front part.

• Half an hour run at about 1200 rev. twice a day should be sufficient

to reach and maintain the right cooling temperature.

Other installation components

◊

The temperature adjusting thermostat is positioned inside the
fridge compartment.

◊

The condenser and the filter of the Frigoboat (Opt) are inside the
engine compartment.

◊

A hole in the lower part of the fridge unit collects condensation
water; this water is drained out through a clear pipe positioned in
the compartment under the refrigerator.

Maintenance

• Check frequently that the drain hole of refrigerator unit is clear

and empty the draining pipe; than close back the valve of the fridge
drain to avoid loss of cold and uncontrolled spillage of the
condensation water in the bilge.

• To avoid foul odours, the inside of the fridge must always be very

clean.

• When the boat is left unattended for a long time and the fridge is

not running, it is advisable to leave the unit lid ajar for ventilation.

• In case of poor cooling of the plates and every two or three years

anyhow, it is advisable to call in a technician to check and if need
refill with proper gas the cooling system.

• The  Frigoboat (Opt) does not need particular care: yet is advisable

to check frequently the driving belts located in the fore part of the
main pulley in front of the engine.

We advise to read the owner’s directions and maintenance
manual given by the manufacturer.
