long time, it may take several attempts for the re-
frigerator to prime itself with propane and light cor-
rectly. You may reset the unit as many as four times
to purge the air from the propane lines and light the
burner. This is normal.
The shut down the refrigerator, press on the “On”
button so that it is un the “Up” position—which is
“Off”.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a fac-
tory preset and cannot be adjusted manually.
While waiting for the interior of the refrigerator to
cool, the only way to know if the unit is correctly
working is to feel the chimney flashing on the back
of the unit. The chimney flashing is accessible
through the ventilation hatch in the cockpit. The
flashing will be warm to touch when the refrigerator
is correctly operating.

Running the Refrigerator on 110v
To run the refrigerator on 110 volt,
IMPORTANT: When leaving the boat, turn the re-
frigerator to the “OFF” position first then turn the
propane off at the bottle. Reversing these steps,
while not a problem, will burn out the propane in
the line and make re-lighting the refrigerator an
unnecessarily long process as the gas line will need
to re-prime.
The refrigerator is vented to the cockpit. Fresh air
comes in through the hatch near the cockpit floor.
The hot air is then vented out through openings
above the steering wheel. An additional chimney
vents to the top of the canopy and can be opened or
closed with the included cap.
The refrigerator operates most efficiently with a
thorough through-flow of air. Always keep the venti-
lation hatch open and turn the 12-volt refrigerator
fan on when the refrigerator is running.
When leaving the boat for long periods of time, re-
insert the refrigerator air intake hatch cover.
