Indel Webasto Compact Classic - Periodic Inspections and Maintenance; Periodic Inspections and Defrosting

9 Periodic inspecons and maintenance
The COMPACT CLASSIC is equipped with a cooling circuit which does not require
maintenance or refrigerant relling: normally there is no need to perform
maintenance work and equipment as it is installed can remain all winter in the boat.
The compressor is specically designed for naucal applicaons guaranteeing
maximum performance and durability. To maintain eciency, seasonal maintenance
is limited to the cleaning of the condensing unit. It is necessary to brush/vacuum out
all the dust that has accumulated due to the fan. This can be done using a so brush
and a vacuum cleaner. Operaons must be carried out with the system cut o from
voltage.
When shung o the unit for extended periods of me, rst proceed with
defrosng, since the evaporator could operate at temperatures well below
freezing and therefore ice and frost may form upon it. The humidity in the air, the
temperature and the number of mes the door is opened will have a signicant
impact on frost formaon.
The unit should always be defrosted when the layer of frost reaches a thickness of
3-4 mm or more.
To proceed with Defrosng:
- Turn o the unit by turning the thermostat to its 0 posion.
- Defrosng should be performed when the products can remain as cool as possible
outside of the refrigerator compartment. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice
and frost from the evaporator, as this could damage it and result in leaks.
- Switch the unit back on only aer having defrosted the evaporator and carefully
cleaned and dried the compartment. A towel can be placed at the base of
the compartment during the defrosng procedure in order to facilitate water
collecon.
