Operating instructions

4N: Galley & Appliances
Dream Catcher is fitted with a number of appliances for your convenience. Most of
these (like the microwave) are easy to operate, “just like a home appliance”; nevertheless, we
will spend some time discussing these, as marine units have some features that are slightly
different than home models.
4N1: Barbecue
The barbecue is mounted atop the sundeck hand rail. Its propane tank is nearby. It
operates conventionally. To use it, (1) Turn valve on the tank itself on; (2) Turn the control at
the barbeque to “High”; (3) Using the built in lighter or a propane “match”, light the barbecue.
4N2: Microwave/Convection Oven
The microwave is conventional, operating just as one does in the home ashore.
4N3: Refrigerator/Freezer - Galley
The boat is equipped with an efficient
Grunert refrigerator and deep freeze.
This refrigeration runs on 110
volts AC, and can run on shore,
generator or inverter power!
Refrigeration temperatures are controlled by
the thermostats in each unit; set as required after
allowing them to stabilize for a few hours after
loading.
Hint: If you keep the units full, they will hold
temperatures steadier. We suggest filling used
water bottles or jugs with tap water and using them
as space-fillers in the units!
4N4: Stove
The boat is equipped with a PRINCESS propane stove with three
top burners and a thermostatically-controlled oven and broiler.
Propane gas is heavier-than-air. Therefore it must be treated
with care around a boat so that we can be absolutely sure there is no
gas escaping into the atmosphere to collect in the boat’s lowest spot,
the enclosed bilges, to become an explosive safety hazard. For this
reason, the propane tank itself is housed above the galley in the left
seat on the flying bridge. Obviously. Up there, if there is a leak, the gas
will simply be vented overboard, for there is no way from there for it to
be redirected into the boat, as all openings into the salon from above
are sealed (otherwise they’d leak in a rainstorm!).
The deepfreeze.
