The AC electric heat can only be operated while on dockside power or generator. The
thermostat control knobs are located in the main salon and in each stateroom. You may find
that you may not be able to run all three heaters at the same time on the dockside power,
depending upon your shore power supply.
B. DIESEL FURNACE:
The "LATERISER" is equipped with a Wallas diesel furnace. The controls for this furnace
are located on the lower helm. The heater is either on or off. The output is controlled by the
switch from 4,000 BTUs (LOW) to 14,000 BTUs (HIGH). To start the heater, press the
rocker switch to heat. The fan will start and in about 5 minutes the burner starts. To shut the
heater off, switch to OFF. It uses very little power and fuel on low, so it can be run all night
long if needed. Be sure to turn it off when it is not needed. See the operations manual for
complete instructions. If the furnace is run at a low setting for more then an hour, it should
be run at high for 3 minutes prior to shut down to prevent damage to the burner.
C. ENGINE CABIN HEAT:
The HIGH/LOW/OFF switch for this heat is located at the top of the steps. The heater gets
its hot water from the starboard engine.
D. WATER HEATER:
The water heater is located in the area behind the door in the mid stateroom. Always ensure
that there is water in the water heater to avoid damaging the 110-volt heating element inside.
There is also a heat exchanger system integrated with the port engine that supplies heat to the
hot water system as well. Use care when using the hot water system after running the port
engine for an extended period of time, as the hot water could be VERY HOT.
