GALLEY EQUIPMENT

Care must be exercised while around stoves and
other appliances. Keep children away from burn-
ers.
A. Alcohol Stove
Alcohol stoves are standard on the 258 and 278 models
and optional on the 238 model. If equipped, see the
manufacturer's literature included with this manual.
Be careful while lighting and operating your alco-
hol stove. Flare-up during ignition can result.
Use denatured alcohol only.
To prevent skin burns, be sure the stove is off
before closing the lid. Be sure the stove cools
totally before storing.
B. Alcohol/Electric Stove
Alcohol/Electric stoves are optional equipment on the 278
Vista only. A circuit breaker is provided in the 120 Volt
AC cabin electrical panel. If equipped, refer to the Sec-
tion E and the manufacturer's literature included with this
manual.
C. Microwave Oven
A microwave oven is available as an option on all Vista
models. A circuit breaker is provided in the 120 Volt AC
cabin electrical panel on the 278 model. On the 238 and
258, the microwave plugs into a outlet next to the electri-
cal panel and is protected by the breaker for the OUT-
LET. If equipped, refer to the manufacturer's literature
provided with this manual.

D. Ice Box
The ice box is standard on the 238 model. The ice box
functions similar to a portable cooler. Adding ice (pref-
erably block ice) will keep food cold for a long period of
time. The excess water from the melting ice will drain
overboard.
E. Refrigerator
Dual voltage refrigerators are standard equipment on the
258 and 278 models and is optional on the 238 model.
The refrigerator will operate on 120 volt (220 volts on 50
Hertz models) AC power while the boat is connected to
dockside power. The refrigerator will automatically trans-
fer to 12 volt operation when dockside power is not avail-
able.
NOTICE
On earlier Vista models, the refrigerator operated
on 12 Volt DC system only. With shore power
on, the battery charger supplies power for the 12
volt system and maintains charge on the batter-
ies. On later models, the refrigerator is set up
for both systems.
On the 238 and 258 models, the refrigerator is protected
by the automotive-type fuse panel located in the engine
compartment. On the 278 model, a circuit breaker is
located on the battery switch panel.
Though the refrigerator operates on both voltages, it is
much more efficient on 120 volt (220 volt on 50 Hertz
models) power. The refrigerator will cool more slowly on
12 volt power. Making ice cubes may be difficult on a
warm day unless the unit is operated first on 120 volts to
reduce the temperature. Whenever possible, use 120
volt power to initially cool the refrigerator.
Care should be exercised while operating the refrigerator
on the 12 volt system. The refrigerator requires a sub-
stantial amount of current. Excessive current draw can
severely drain a battery through extended use. When a
refrigerator is installed, dual batteries and a battery se-
lector switch are recommended.
