The keel Cooler should not be painted and must be inspected periodically for corrosion. Clean occasionally with a brush, never with a metal scraper. For details on the recommended grounding please see the Frigoboat Correct Bonding document Frigomatic Milano Manual v1 PAGE 8...
The outlet should be just above the waterline so the flow can be confirmed Sea Water Strainer You must have a good intake strainer (120 Mesh) to protect the pump, pipework and condenser from sea water growth and organisms. Frigoboat part number A091508 contact sales@penguinfrigo.co.uk for details.

4.4 ALTERNATIVE PUMPS Any pump can be used to circulate water through the Milano water cooled condenser as long as: A.- The water flow is at least 0,5 gal/min (2 l/min) and does not exceed 10 litres per minute B.- A relay is always used to operate the pump.
CHAPTER 5 ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER FOR FRIGOMATIC MILANO 5.1 - The electronic controller can operate from either 12V or 24V D.C a) It automatically selects 12V or 24V supply (it chooses 24V automatically if the voltage exceeds 17V) b) It also allows the compressor to run at 4 different speeds according to the capacity of the fridge or freezer and corresponding size of the evaporator plate.2,000 RPM up to...
(closed end), preposition the screws and then slide on the evaporator using the slots. Finally enter the other two stainless steel screws through the holes, then the spacers and hence into the structure of the cabinet. Tighten all screws. 6.5 - EVAPORATOR MODEL "F" Frigomatic Milano Manual v1 PAGE 12...
Each one has several holes available for fixing it on the wall of the cabinet lining. For the best performance on the cooling unit these evaporators should be installed with the exit pipe upwards. The evaporator can be bent using the correct tool. Contact a Frigoboat service agent for details.

Never use a knife or other metal object to force ice from your evaporator or you will easily pierce the refrigerant coil sooner or later. 7.7 - EXCESSIVELY COLD CABINET See Troubleshooting Chap. 10 Frigomatic Milano Manual v1 PAGE 14...
CHAPTER 8 QUICK CONNECTS All the components of the Frigomatic unit are supplied with Frigoboat quick connects which retain the refrigeration gas that has been factory pre charged and permit quick and simple connection of the refrigeration system. IMPORTANT Under no circumstances run the Frigomatic compressor unless the two quick connects are fully joined.
9.5 - THERMOSTAT CONNECTION AND COMPRESSOR SPEED CHOICE These Milano is supplied with the speed regulator E51045 which allows you to set the compressor speed from 2,000 and 3,500 RPM. Simply connect the thermostat at C & T connections (there is no polarity) then set voltage 12V or 24V and then the desired speed using the rheostat dial.

E51385 pump interface (see schematic R1374). The Milano W is equipped with a thermal cut out safety device, which stops the system if the water circulation is not sufficient. This device is installed on the water heat exchanger and must be connected in series with the thermostat.
Doing so you reduce the refrigerated area : the cabinet size over the evaporator will not be cooled. Frigomatic Milano Manual v1 PAGE 18...
