4.3.9 LPG system

The boat can be equipped with an LPG system for a cooker as an optional extra. The system is tested and approved before delivery.

The system consists of a cooker and gas cylinder. The apparatus is equipped with a shut-off valve (in connection with the cooker) and a decompression valve. A ventilation hole is provided on the outside of the hull in the space where the gas cylinder is installed. A fire blanket must be installed right next to the cooker.

Fuels that produce a naked flame consume oxygen and discharge combustion products into the boat. Good ventilation is therefore essential when an appliance is in use. If cooker is installed inside cabin, ensure good ventilation and keep doors open. 

LPG cylinder housing shall not be used for storage of any other equipment.

When installed inside, fuel burning open flame appliances consume cabin oxygen and release products of combustion into the craft; do not use the stove for space heating. Ventilation is required when appliances are in use. Never obstruct any ventilation openings. The ventilation requirements have been calculated to suit the LPG appliances as installed.

  • Before opening the valve to the gas container, make sure that the appliance valves are properly closed.

  • Store the fire blanket in the required location.
