door has a special latch to secure the door while underway; make sure the door is properly secured whenever
the boat is moving. Refer to the refrigerator owner's manual for additional operating and maintenance

MICROWAVE OVEN
A microwave oven is provided as standard equipment on the OS 285. The microwave operates on AC power
and is protected by the microwave breaker in the AC breaker panel.

8.4 Convertible V-Berth and Table
The V-berth is equipped with a table that will seat up to four people when the table is in the "UP" position.
There is storage below a hatch under each V-berth cushion. The table is mounted on an adjustable pedestal
that allows the dinette to be converted to a double berth.
To convert the dinette to a double berth, loosen the knob on the pedestal base. Then carefully lower the table
until it seats on the table supports on each side of the v-berth. Secure the table in the "DOWN" position by
tightening the knob on the pedestal base. Place the separate berth cushion on the table top to complete the
berth conversion.
The table should be lowered to the berth position whenever the boat is run offshore or in heavy sea conditions
to prevent damage to the pedestal assembly.
8.5 Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Safety chapter in this manual contains important information on carbon monoxide and the carbon
monoxide detector. Read the section entitled "Carbon Monoxide" in the Safety chapter of this Owner's
Manual.
8.6 Air Conditioner (Optional)
The air conditioning unit is the reverse cycle type and operates on AC
power. It is located in the storage compartment under the V-berth. The
unit is equipped with reverse cycle heat and can be operated as a cooling
or heating unit. It is protected by a breaker in the AC breaker panel. To
operate, make sure the thru-hull valve for the air conditioner raw water
supply pump is on. Turn the air conditioner breaker to the "on" position.
The unit will then be controlled by the air conditioning control panel in
the cabin. When activated, water should continuously flow from the
overboard drain thru-hull.
Air locks can occur in the air conditioning water supply system at the time of launching. If your boat has been
recently launched and water is not flowing from the overboard thru-hull when the air conditioner is activated,
a air may have to be purged from the system. This can be achieved by making sure the valve at the air
conditioning pump intake thru-hull is open. Then run the boat at cruise speed for several minutes. A scoop
