Capacity of refrigerators and freezers is 6 cu. ft., storage units of 11 cu. ft. A refrigerator with ample space for ice cube trays and/or frozen foods is ideal for officers' quarters. For mess or galley, combine a refrig- erator with a storage unit or a freezer. If you need 12 cu. ft. of either refrigerator or freezer space, combine two similar units using our optional stacking frame with functional air grille to save valuable deck space. We also have a complete line of standard, portable and under-counter refrigerators from 4 to 102 cu. ft., AC or DC. AC units with blower-type evaporators are self-defrosting.
