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.
