1 Introduction

1.1 General

Isotherm refrigerators are specially designed to operate in tough
marine environments. They are fi tted with a fully hermetic,
leak-free compressor, they offer the lowest possible power
consumption and noise level. All models are simple to install.
They can withstand an angle of heel up to 30°, for a short time.
To ensure that your Isotherm fridge operates as effi ciently as
possible, please follow these general guidelines:

• Unnecessary opening of the fridge door will increase power
consumption.

• Good ventilation of the compressor and condenser unit will
reduce power consumption.

• The electrical system should be in good condition. Inspect
batteries and charging levels regularly. Always use a separate
starter battery for the engine. Follow carefully the guidelines
regarding electrical able areas and fuse placements.

• Keep the inside of the fridge and freezer clean and dry.
Remove any water from condensation that may have collected
in the plastic baskets.

• Keep the door slightly open to air the refrigerator and freezer
when leaving the boat for any length of time. (Fig. 1 and 2)

supply is equipped with an earth safety automatic switch, a
”ground fault circuit interrupter”.
Danger! Never touch bare electrical wiring connected to
the AC power supply.
Do not use the device if the connector cables show visible
damage.
Never connect battery charger direct to the refrigeration
system.
A battery charger must be connected to the battery, never
direct to the refrigeration system.
Danger! In addition to acid, a newly-charged battery
contains explosive gas.
Never cover the ventilation openings for the compressor
unit.
Refrigerant may never be let out in the air.
Repair of the refrigeration circuit must be done by a
certifi ed technician.

2 Operation

2.1 Temperature setting

The refrigerator and freezer units are fi tted with manually
operated thermostats. The thermostat control knob is placed
inside the refrigerator compartment to the right and the freezer
compartment has the thermostat also to the right.
The thermostat is turned clockwise to reduce temperature and
anti-clockwise to both increase temperature and activate the
on-off switch at the end position, 0-position. A certain spring
resistance is recognized at the off position.
It is advisable to start with the thermostat in a medium position,
do not set the thermostat in the coldest position. Remember
that the thermostat settings are effected by variations in ambient
temperature, the quantity of stored food, its position and how
often the doors are opened.

If the ambient temperature is very high the compressor
might work continuously causing the occasional formation
of frost. If this occurs the thermostat knob should be turned
to a lower number = warmer setting, to allow the compressor
to cycle on and off.

If suffi cient temperature can not be reached with thermostat/
compressor still cycling, it is a sign of improper ventilation on the
rear side of the refrigerator/freezer.
When the refrigerator or freezer is switched on after it has been
out of use, it will take several hours until the refrigeration and
freezer temperatures are reached.
To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, never
place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.

2.2 User tips

- The freezer compartment is meant for storage of pre-frozen
food. It has also capacity for deep freezing.

- Start up the refrigerator if possible 6-8 hours before it shall be
loaded with food.

- When making ice in the ice tray, place it direct on the upper
shelf in the freezer and put nothing on top of the ice tray. For
quicker ice-making, turn the thermostat to coldest position.

- Load the food inside the refrigerator in such a way, air can
circulate to equalize the temperature.

- Do not cover the shelves with glass or paper etc.

- To reduce the amount of ice building up inside the fridge,
cover all liquids and moist food.

- Let all hot foods cool well before putting them into the
refrigerator.

2.3 Defrosting

Defrosting shall be made when the frost layer is more than 1/8”
thick. Set the thermostats in OFF position. Store the foodstuff
and the liquid as cold as possible during the defrosting process.
Do not use sharp metal tools to remove frost or ice. Do not re­start until the refrigerator and freezer are completely defrosted,
cleaned and dried. Empty and clean also the plastic tray in the
lower part of the compartments.
