D. GALLEY SYSTEMS
Propane Stove/Oven
Propane is heavier than air, and very explosive.
These characteristics warrant your respect, we advise
never leaving an open flame unattended. There are redundant safety features built into this system however,
so don't be afraid of it.
The propane tank is located on the aft starboard side in its own locker, which drains outside of the boat for
safety reasons. Please leave the valve closed when you leave the boat. Therefore, each time you need to
use the propane you will have to open the valve on the tank. In addition, when you want to use the propane
system, turn on the LPG switch on the DC panel - watch for red light.
The tank requires refilling about every two weeks. When you need to refill the tank, turn off the valve and
get a wrench from the tool kit. Remember that the threads on the brass nut are reversed (clockwise to
loosen).
When reconnecting the hose onto the tank, remember that brass threads are soft. Don't over tighten.
Put a little dish soap on the connection, open the valve, and watch for bubbles to make sure it won't
leak.
Pressure should remain constant when the valve is open. This indicates that there is no leak in the system.
