CHAPTER 3: COMPONENTS / SYSTEMS
Liquid Propane Gas Stove
Your yacht may come equipped with a liquid propane gas (LPG) three-burner stove/oven. Before attempting to oper-
ate the LPG stove/oven, read the operating instructions included in your yacht's owner's packet.
EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD - LPG is heavier than air, and if allowed to
settle, accumulate, and if ignited, WILL CAUSE AN EXPLOSION!
FIRE/PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD - Areas near burners and grates may become hot
enough to cause burns. DO NOT touch burners, grates or areas near units as they may
be hot, even when they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch or let cloth-
ing or other flammable material come in contact with units or areas near units (burner tops,
main frame sides and back, searails and pot holders) until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Always have an approved ABC-type fire extinguisher in galley area.
LPG System Operation Summary
• Close the tank valve immediately in any emergency.
(LPG tank is located under upper station dash)
• Be sure all appliance valves are closed before opening
the tank valve.
• Always apply a lit match or other flame source to burner
before opening burner valve.
• Close the tank valve whenever appliance is not in use.
• Test the system for leakage at least twice a month in
accordance with the following procedure:
1. With appliance valves CLOSED and with tank valve
OPEN, note the pressure on gauge.
2. CLOSE the cylinder valve. If the pressure reading on the
gauge drops, THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM!
3. Locate the leak by applying liquid detergent or soap and
water solution to all connections.
4. NEVER use flame to check for leaks!
5. After the leak has been repaired, re-check the system
before using appliances.
110-Volt AC/12-Volt Refrigerator
Your yacht may feature a 110-volt AC/12-volt DC refrigerator. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions sup-
plied in your yacht's owner's packet. The refrigerator operates on 12-volt DC power unless the 110-volt AC system is
hooked up to shore power and the AC refrigerator breaker is ON.
In less than 24 hours, the refrigerator can render a 100-amp battery useless for engine starting.
When operating on 12-volts, it is advised that the cold setting not be set higher than two (2). It
is also advisable to turn off your refrigerator at night or when not in use. If you are going out
for more than a day and cannot connect to dockside power, plan to run the engine each day to
maintain a charged battery.
Audio/Video Equipment
The standard and optional audio/video equipment on your yacht have separate brochures explaining their operating
features. Note that AM radio reception may be impaired anytime the engine is running.
