Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator periodically needs to have the compressor
coils cleaned off. To accomplish this task, make sure the
refrigerator circuit breaker is off and all food cleared out.
You need to remove the 2 screws through the top of the
cabinet and the 4 screws inserted in the bottom of the
refrigerator. To access the 4 bottom screws, remove the
drawer beneath the refrigerator and use a stubby Phillips
screwdriver. Once all the screws are out, you will be able
to access the coils at the rear of the unit by pulling it out
of the cavity. You should be able to disconnect the plug at
this point. Set the unit on a stool to clean the coils using a
soft brush. Reinstall.
A good time to clean the inside of the refrigerator is just
after defrosting the unit. Once it is to room temperature,
clean all surfaces and trays with a soft cloth and mild
cleaner. This will help remove any odors. After the unit is
plugged back in insert a small box of baking powder to
help move any odors produced by future stored food.
When leaving the boat for extended periods make sure
the circuit breaker is off, all material is removed from the
refrigerator and the door is wedged open.
CABIN DOOR TRACK
Periodically clean the cabin door track by using a vacuum
with an upholstery nozzle. Then wipe off any residue with
a damp cloth and warm water. Do not spray the door track
with silicone spray or oil since a slippery surface could
develop.
CENTRAL VACUUM
GROUND FAULT OUTLET:
Ground fault isolaters should be tested monthly. To test,
depress the reset button. Next, press the test button. The
reset button should pop out. If it doesn’t, contact a qualified
electrician or marine professional.
Also, since all receptacles are connected through the GFI
circuit they should show zero voltage when the GFI test
button is pressed. A plug-in type tester can be obtained at
most hardware stores for testing outlets.
If installed, keep the vacuum central tank free of built-up
debris. Periodically, clean the filter. Read the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for further information.
