Verifying Model Specifications and Installation Requirements
- Identify the exact model. Photograph its rating plate and controller before searching for a manual.
- Check the manufacturer's current document. Match model number, voltage, frequency and document revision.
- Check the person doing regulated work. Verify refrigerant and electrical licensing rather than relying on a business description.
- Compare the advice with the boat. Shore supply, battery system, through-hulls, ventilation and climate all change the answer.
For Australian refrigerant rules, also check the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water guidance. It explains that work involving regulated refrigerant that could cause leakage requires a Refrigerant Handling Licence and points consumers to the Australian Refrigeration Council.
