1.1 Safety
Before installing the fridge it is necessary to read with great attention these instructions.
When the fridge is operating, it is better to avoid touching the freezer compartment internal
surfaces, above all with wet hands: the skin could adhere to the frozen surfaces.
Switch off the fridge to clean it or to change the light bulb or the thermostat.
Never put full glass containers in the freezer: they could break because of the expansion due
to the foods freezing.
Use precautions for children:
Don’t let children play with fridges/freezers, since the fridges/freezers doors don’t open from
inside.
Once thawed, the food must be eaten as soon as possible.
Preserve the deep-frozen packaged foods according to the producer’s
instructions.
Don’t speed up the defrosting through heating electrical fittings or
through chemical substances.
If you want to scrap the fridge/freezer, cut of f the supply cables and dismount the door so that children can’t remained trapped inside.
For your safety and for the good preservation of the food inside, keep
the precautionary measures in this manual, since the producer is not
responsible for damages due to their non-observance.

HANDLE HOOK-UP AND SETTING
Don’t tighten the screws
before having set the
handle and the hook-up,
so that they are exactly
one upon the other. Then
it is possible to tighten all
the screws.
It is very important that the handle is exactly upon its hook-up: on the contrary the
good functioning of the fastening could be impaired and some components could
break.

Bulk measures have been calculated counting in also eventual bulges due to the following objects:
feet: 25 mm
handle hook-up: 5 mm
hinge: 10 mm
screws bulges: 3 mm
Bulk measures
To locate the fridge/freezer, consider the following bulk measures for the different models.
3. INSTALLATION
3.3 Measures
Because of the difference in temperature between inside and outside the cabinet it is necessary to let some space (for all sides) between
the fridge/freezer walls and the walls of the surrounding pieces of furniture, it must be located
between. (Don’t remove feet!)*
The space lack for the air circulation can cause
condensation, that in the worst case can get rot
the eventual wood or cause mould on fibreglass
surfaces.
*If you must remove feet because of installation exigencies, it is necessary to create some space for the
air circulation between the cabinet and the bearing
plane.
To locate the fridge/frrezer you must consider that the
handle hook-up must be fastened in a niche as in the picture on the right.

3.3 Measures
Respect area for an easy use
Locating the fridge/freezer, it is necessary to respect the surrounding area to open completely the door and
so eventually drawers and to execute easily all operations inside.
Respect area
To locate the fridge/freezer you must
consider the bulk measures on page
9, corresponding to the chosen cabinet.
Mounting instructions:
The fridge/freezer must be located easily.
Moving it, it is better to keep its protection and pay anyway great attention. If necessary, take off the door.
IMPORTANT
To locate the fridge/freezer, you must consider not only the
bulk measures on page 9 (and in the table 3.5 on pages 11-
12) but also the holes for the electrical connection wires and
for the eventual condensation outlet. Since precharged pipes
protude from the box, it is necessary a respect area: avoid
sharp bends (their radius must be superior to 50 mm).
During the fridge/freezer installation, for its maintenance, it is
IMPORTANT to make as easy as possible the accessibility to
connections, unions and waste pipes.

3.4 Condensation outlet
All fridges/freezers of the Stainless Steel series have got
the condensation outlet on the back side.
(as in the picture on the left)
To avoid unpleasant smells coming from condensation
trays go into the fridge/freezer, installing the condensation
outlet pipe, it is necessary to create a syphon below the
fridge/freezer level.
Pay attention to the pipe position. Locating the box in the
chosen position, don’t crush or bend in a n anomalous
way the pipe to maintain it functional.
Check also that the condensation outlet drains correctly,
pouring a congrous quantity of water into the stainless
steel cabinet when it is located and before switching it on.
Comprehensive view and position of
the condensation outlet hole
To the condensation outlet you must fasten a curve rubber holder (Cod. M68995) and connect a pipe with a
stainless steel clamp (since the fridge causes humidity
all around, pay attention to materials in contact with it).

3.8 Fastening
The Stainless Steel boxes must be
fastened to the structure, even if
they have a precise position.
In fact, if the box hasn’t been fastened, it
could occasionally moves according to the
hull movements and even if it doesn’t cause
immediately any damages, then it could ruin
the connection pipes (break of the connec-
tion pipes to the system and detachment of
the condensation discharge pipe or of the
electrical connections).
ALL NECESSARY HOLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
ARRANGED WITH RINGLETS.
DON’T DRILL ANY HOLE INTO THE
BOX.
YOU COULD IMPAIR IRREMEDIABILY
THE EVAPORATOR.

If you want to fasten the box using the frames, it is
necessary to drill into its walls some holes, as you
can see in the picture.
You can drill some holes only before mounting the
frames. Then you must consider also the material
they must be fasten to and the screws head.
On the box walls there are some holes to
fasten stainless steel profiles (picture 4), that
fit perfectly the cabinet in the chosen seat
(picture 4).
On the profiles there are some holes to fix
them on the box (the kit includes screws) .
Pay attention to the hinges and the handle

3.11 Optional external thermostat
It is possible to install digital thermostats for fridges and freezers. You can insert these thermostats in the
risers (as you can see in the picture) if it is a one-unit or in the risers/spacers if it is a multiple unit, composed
by fridge and freezer (see “Components table” on page 5-6).
The digital thermostat has not to be installed near the
box. In this case you can fix it on the wall, as you can see
in the picture, through a stainless steel frame.
You must put the bulb of the digital
thermostat in the fridge/freezer (A).
The wire must pass into the hole of
the box back (B). Then it must follow
the internal edge line. The correct
position is at half height. The bulb
must not come into contact with the
walls and the food inside.
The wire must be fastened by an aluminium adhesive tape or by some
silicone. It is necessary to seal the
hole.

5.1 Switching on
5.2 Switching off (no use)
5.3 Temperature regulation
If you don’t use the equipment for a long time, follow these instructions:
- cut off the power to the fridge/freezer circuit;
- take off the foods from the fridge/freezer and defrost the latter, emptying frequently the condensation tray, and clean it.
Then, don’t close the door to avoid mould and bad smells.
To switch on the fridge/freezer, check that that the power is available and turn
the thermostat to ON to start the compressor. After few minutes the fridge/freezer will cool down. Then wait for 20 minutes before putting the food inside.
To regulate the temperature in the fridge/freezer, turn the thermostat to the desired temperature and wait for some minutes
until it is reached. If it is the first switching on after a long period
of no use, wait for some minutes and check that the fridge/freezer is cooling down.
5.4 Condensation tray emptying
In the models equipped with the tray, while the fridge/freezer is operating, it is
advisable to check at least once a week if there is eventually water in the tray.
In this case, empty it and mop it well to avoid mould and bad smells.

To change the light bulb, unscrew it and change it with a
new one of the same model.
(Switching off the fridge/freezer before changing the light
bulb)
Check the light bulb voltage:
If it is 12 V, use the light bulb (Cod. G270423)
If it is 24 V, use the light bulb (Cod. G270425)
Before cleaning the fridge/freezer, it is necessary to cut off
the power.
You must clean the fridge/freezer only with warm water,
using a soft cloth.
After having cleaned it, it is possible to give again the power
to the fridge/freezer.
To regulate the shelves in the box there are four indexing
racks (two for each sides), to which must be fastened the
shelves supports (1). It is necessary to fasten the four supports at the same level, so that the shelf is perfectly horizontal.
To hook the supports to the grill look at the picture on the
right and repeat the operation for each support.

6.2 Outlet check
6.3 Electrical system check
6.1 Defrosting
We suggest to defrost the freezer or the deep-frozen foods compartment when
the ice is more than 4-5 mm thick. Before defrosting it, it is necessary to empty
the deep-frozen foods compartment. Make sure that the condensation tray
doesn’t contain water and during the defrosting pay attention that it doesn’t fill
up.
To check that the outlet discharge drains correctly, pour some water in the hole
at the bottom by the fridge/freezer back wall: the water should flow fluently. On
the contrary, it is necessary to clean the clogged outlet.
In the fridges with evaporator compartment there is no condensation outlet,
since there is a tray just below the evaporator to collect the condensation. It is
necessary to empty the tray before it fills up completely (see 6.1).
It is advisable to check periodically both the fridge/freezer and the compressor
electrical circuit to guarantee the system safety. In fact, a short circuit could
damage the compressor electrical system and cause a fire on the boat.
6.4 Seals check
When the fridge/freezer is off, it is advisable to check sometimes seals and
clamps, used to hook the condensation outlet pipes.

6.5 Handle check
If it is difficult, using the fridge/freezer, to open or close it, we suggest to check
the handle and the hook-up alignment, the handle is hooked to, to avoid any
damages (see 3.2 on page 7).
It is also useful to check sometimes the handle even if the fridge/freezer door
opens and closes easily.
6.7 Hinges check
Check that the hinges screws don’t loosen because of the boats vibrations,
since they could impair the fridge/freezer opening and closing.

WHATTODO
- Open the fridge only if necessary.
- Wrap up cheeses and other odorous foods with the silver paper or put them in food containers.
- Defrost the refrigerating compartment before the ice gets 10 mm thick. Then clean it with a bicarbonate solution by
means of a sponge. Rinse and dry carefully.
- When you don’t use the fridge/freezer, let it open. If is has a front opening, block the door so that it can’t close.
WHAT TO AVOID
- Put in the fridge warm foods.
- Defrost the ice using sharp objects.
- Put foods in the evaporator compartment without any protection.
- Clean the fridge using chemical solvents, although diluted in water.
HOW TO PLACE FOODS
FRIDGE
- Put in the fridge the hermetic packaging.
- Wrap up meat, fish and vegetables, etc....with food paper or put them in food containers.
- Don’t cover grills with paper or trays. Keep some distance between foods to let the air circulate.
- Choose different height shelves according to the food preservation temperature: at the top it’s warmer; at the
bottom it’s cooler.
FREEZER
- Put the deep-frozen packaged foods in the freezers without taking off their packaging.
- To deep-freeze, divide foods in little portions and wrap up separately each one using food paper. Put them in the
most cold compartment area.
Because of power lack and considering the installation specificity, it is better to avoid deep-freezing foods.
The food that must be deep-freeze must not get into contact with the deep-frozen food.
At the freezer bottom, there must be a grill so that deep-frozen foods don’t get into contact with the bearing plane., if
it doesn’t belong to the evaporator.
ICE CUBES PRODUCTION
- Use the ice tray for the evaporator with its portioned plastic bag (A090900 and A090901).

8.1 Troubleshooting
Before calling an Authorized Assist ance Centre , we suggest some checks to solve the most common cases of bad func tioning, not directly caused by material defect s or inst allation errors.
If the system wouldn t work af ter having checked it, call the nearest Frigoboat
Authorized Assist ance Centre
.
To have some information about the nearest Authorized Assist ance Centre, call the V e c o service ( +39.0362.35321 ) or go
to the WEB page w w w .frigoboat.it
NOTE:
W ait one minute: there is up to one minute delay between the power ON and the compressor st arting. Allow enough time.
8.1 - THE BOX IS TO O COLD OR THE COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOSLY
8.1.1 - T urn the thermost at clockwise towards 1 . If the box is still too cold with thermost at set at 1 , then stop the com pressor, putting the thermost at to 0 or switching of f the fridge switch. Use this switch to make run the compressor for 15
minutes every 1 - 3 hours to keep the box at the normal temperature (+2 / -6 ). The unit must be checked by a Frigoboat
Authorized Service.
8.2 - THE BOX IS NOT COLD ENOUGH A LTHOUGH THE COMPRESSOR RUNS NORMALLY
8.2.1 - Remove any warm food from the box and let it cool down to ambient temperature before storing it again.
8.2.2 - The door must be perfectly closed and the door gasket s must fit perfectly . Nothing must prevent the door gasket
to seal.
8.2.3 - Check that there are no obstructions in the compressor air int ake and outlet and the condenser is clean.
8.2.4 - When the compressor is running, the fan should run in air-cooled models and the pump should run and the water
flow in W models. Otherwise it is necessary to clean the filter.
8.3 - THE COMPRESSOR STARTS BUT STOPS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTERW ARDS
8.3.1 - Check the battery charge. If necessary, charge the battery.
8.3.2 - Check that all the connections and the fuse of the battery supply to the Frigomatic are well tightened and not cor roded. In winter the compressor temperature should be above 0 C.
8.3.3 - Disconnect the F terminal from the electronic control. If the compressor runs correctly , check the fan, the pump
or the pump relay as the amperage is too high. As soon as you can, the unit shoul be checked by a Frigoboat Authorized
Assist ance Centre.
8.4 - THE COMPRESSOR DOESN T STA R T
8.4.1 - There is a delay between the power ON and the compressor st arting. W ait one minute.
8.4.2 - On the electronic control check that the + and - volt age is 12 V (24 V) and the thermost at has been set on 7 .
