After a cabin deferral item was listed in the maintenance logbook 'FA (Flight Attendant) Crew Panel';  I attempted to locate the equipment in the operating manuals. After a thorough search; I realized that our operating manuals have no cabin safety items listed or major cabin components. We have water shutoff valves; IFE (Inflight Entertainment) equipment; ovens; and many more items that are crucial safety items for flight crews. This needs to be added to the operating manuals immediately. Cabin safety items and equipment need to be in the operating manuals immediately.
A330 Captain reported a cabin item from the FA Crew Panel was deferred and realized the cabin items were not listed in the operations manual.
