A. Stove/Oven
1. Propane is heavier than air and very explosive. Use extreme caution.
The propane tank is located in the locker on the upper aft deck, under the life
jackets. The propane tanks are filled regularly.
2. When changing tanks, remember the threads are reversed; or left hand
threads. To loosen, turn CCW and CW for tightening. When tightening,
lubricate the threads and be careful not to over-tighten. Leak-check can be
performed by spraying a soap and water solution on the connection and look
for soap bubbles.
3. To Operate:
a) Ensure all burner control knobs are in the “Off” position.
b) Open (CCW) the valve on top of the propane tank
c) Turn the “LP Gas” solenoid switch on (located on cabinet between
stove and sink.)
d) Push and turn burner knob ¼ turn CCW; allow air to purge from line;
hold-in and repeatedly push the “burner ignite” button until ignition
occurs. Continue holding the burner knob in for a few seconds to
allow sensor to register flame. If burner ignite button does not work,
burners can be lit with a match or BBQ lighter.
e) One burner should be lit before lighting the oven to help with gas
flow. To light the oven, turn the knob to the desired temperature
setting, push in the red “Oven Safety” button and hold a flame next to
the pilot light/heat sensor at the end of the burner on the right hand
side. Once it lights, continue to hold the button in for a few seconds.
When you release the button, the oven pilot light should stay lit. If
not repeat process holding the “Oven Safety” button in longer.
f) It is recommended that the “LP Gas” solenoid be turned off after each
use of the propane stove/oven and that the propane tank be shut off.
B. Water System
1. Check the water level monitor located on the electrical panel. Fill the
system as required using the hose on board. Purge the hose prior to
filling water tank. Be careful not to drop or lose the cap. Once the tank
overflows, cap the tank.
