4.2.3
Barbecue
The propane barbecue is mounted on the transom. To
operate, connect the propane hose from the tank to the grill.
The regulator must be turned at an angle (about 45°) so that
the connector barrel fits into the barbecue. Turn on the
propane tank valve and then push down on the regulator valve
and turn to the high position. Push down on the ignitor to
light. If the ignitor does not spark, use one of the barbecue
lighters from the galley.
Hint:
These barbecues are hot; Use medium flame for cooking.

Ice Maker
The ice maker under the dry bar runs on 120-volt AC power and will continue to run through
the inverter when the boat is not connected to shore power and when the generator is not
running. This unit is a low power draw but, can deplete the house batteries over an extended
time.

volt DC panel (‘F.W. Pump’)

4.3
Marine Toilet
Both the forward and aft heads have Dometic brand MasterFlush electric toilets that uses
freshwater to flush waste into the holding tank. The ‘Electric Head’ breaker switch on the 12
-
volt DC panel must be turned on.
Two rocker switches operate the toilet:
1.
Pressing toggle-1 adds water into the toilet bowl.
2.
Pressing toggle-2 adds water as waste is pumped from
the toilet bowl.
3.
Pressing toggle-3 is the dry flush which pumps liquid from
the toilet bowl without adding water.
Freshwater is used in the MasterFlush toilets to reduce the odor
associated with older marine toilets.
Important: The only stuff that goes into the toilet is whatever
you have already eaten, and some toilet paper. Do not put baby wipes, paper towels, or
feminine products into the toilet, they will clog the toilet.
