refrigerator at night to conserve batteries. Turn the refrigerator on while motoring, or when connected to
shore power.
Barbeque
The barbecue is normally kept mounted on the stern rail, although high winds may require its temporary
storage below. Attach a propane bottle to the regulator (found with the barbecue or in the cabin locker
above, and forward of, the navigation station). Carefully light the unit, preferably with a handheld butane
lighter. The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks hot and fast. If necessary to store the barbecue unit,
do so only when it has cooled. Please wipe with a paper towel before storing to prevent grease and dirt from
soiling the boat.
Note: Propane bottles are not stocked by AYC. You will need to purchase one if extras are not found on
board.
Caution -- For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine
compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into low spaces.
Store these bottles in the propane locker in the cockpit. Ensure flammable materials are not near the
barbecue.
HEATING SYSTEMS
Forced Air Diesel Furnace
Andiamo
is equipped with a Webasto diesel forced air furnace. The furnace provides heat in the same way
as a household furnace. The air outlet vents are in the aft stateroom and salon. The forced air furnace
operates on the 12 volt DC system.
To turn on furnace:
Turn on the toggle switch located at the navigation station. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
Check the furnace exhaust located on starboard side of the transom for any obstructions such as fenders or
lines. Do not block this opening when operating the furnace, as the exhaust heat will damage fiberglass or
rubber.
When using the forced air furnace, you may hear a slight clicking sound from under the mattress in the aft
stateroom. This is a small fuel pump. Monitor fuel level and battery charge more often if forced air furnace
is being used. Turn the forced air furnace off by turning the switch off.
Space Heater (110 Volt AC)
A 110 volt AC space heater is available when connected to shore power. This heater should be located
during your orientation. Be sure to place this heater away from flammable materials when it is turned on.
