Cockpit Refreshment Center - Four winns V458 Owner's Manual

may be turned off by turning the thermostat to the
"OFF" position. See the manufacturer's literature
included in the owner's packet for specific information
on the model used in your V Series.
Care should be exercised while operating the refrig-
erator on the 12 volt system. The refrigera tor requires
a substantial amount of cur rent. Exces sive current
draw can severely drain a battery through extended
use.
On certain models a magnetic strip is used inside the
seal of the refrigerators. The magnetic strip allows the
seal to draw tight to the inside of the refrigerator when
the door is closed. Also, make sure retaining latch is in
place to secure refrigerator door while underway.

The cockpit refrigerator operates automatically on 120
volt AC or 12V DC power supply. When both power
sources are supplied to the refrigerator, it defaults to
AC. When the refrigerator is disconnected from shore
power (when AC power is no longer available) the
refrigerator switches to DC operation.
The cockpit refrigerator runs continuously and does
not utilize water. Unlike the icemaker, no winterization

is required. Please follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions regarding the use, care and maintenance of the
refrigerator. These instructions are found in the
owner's packet.
The icemaker operates on 120 volt (230 volt on 50
Hertz models) AC power and will only function when
plugged into dockside power or when the generator is
running. The icemaker circuitry is protected by the
ICEMAKER circuit breaker on the 240V AC cabin
electrical panel. Refer to Section H - Electrical Sys-
tems for more infor ma tion.
To operate, make sure the unit is "ON" in. Fill the
water reservoir with bottled water. Note: The icemaker
is not connected to the boat's fresh water system.
Ensure the "ice bin arm" is in the DOWN position. The
first ice cubes may take approxi mately 45 minutes to
be made. Consult the manufacturer's information in
the owner's packet for specific operation instructions
regarding your particular model.
The temperature may be controlled using the tem-
perature control. Remember, a warmer setting
increases the rate of ice production (maximum ice is
achieved at the warmest setting).
To winterize, unplug the unit and follow the normal
clean ing, maintenance and winterization instructions
included in the manufacturer's manual. For instruc-
tions on winterizing with antifreeze, refer to Section J-
8 on Water System Mainte nance in this manual (if
applicable).
Thoroughly flush the water supply lines and
system prior to initial use, and at least once
each season. This will remove any additives
and possible contaminants pres ent in the
system.
Note: The materials from which the components of
the water system are made may give the water supply
a peculiar taste, espe cial ly when new. This condition
is normal and can be reduced substan tially by add ing
a water filter to the system such as one produced by
Shurflo, LLC. The taste will completely dissipate in
time.
