GALLEY 

Stove/Oven 

Blue Moon has an electric stove and oven.  The breaker on the AC panel 
must be ON for the stove/oven to work.  Since this is 110 Volt electric, 
the power source is Shore Power or running the Generator.  Operating 
the stove/oven off the inverter is not possible. 

Refrigerator 

The refrigerator is dual voltage (12 volt and 110 Volt power).  It will use 
110 volt whenever possible and only switch over to 12 volt when 110 is 
not available.  Monitor the use of 12 volt battery consumption when at 
anchor or moored away from shore power and consider switching OFF 
the refrigerator just before retiring for the night and back ON the next 
morning.
