18. Refrigeration
There are 2 upgraded 12v refrigerators and a freezer onboard your vessel.
This system is designed to run 24hrs a day if you wish. To ensure that it does
not fail there are two things you should do.
•
Firstly, keep your batteries charged. If the level goes below 12v the
system will malfunction. Refer to section 12 for charging instructions.
•
Secondly, do not puncture the cold plate in your fridge! Do not chip at the
ice or use any other sharp items in the fridge. If something is frozen to
the side of the fridge do not force it away. Poor warm water on it if you
need to melt the ice.
Each unit can be individually controlled using the thermostats located in each
unit. On your arrival the dials will all be set to their coolest setting. Keep it
on this setting until all you food has chilled thoroughly. Then you can turn
the system down or off if you wish. Or if it is not cold enough you can
augment the system with ice.
Ask one of our staff for a deck cooler if you would like one for storing your
drinks. It will keep the drinks cooler and the refrigeration colder, as people
will not be going in it every 5 minutes for a drink.
Please note that we are in the tropics and we cannot guarantee that items
will remain frozen when placed in the fridge and that fruit, vegetables and
other fresh produce may have a shortened shelf life.
The fridges and freezer are all self draining.
