Appliances which burn fuel consume oxygen and discharge combustion products into the boat. Good ventilation is essential when an appliance is in use.

• Never use the LPG cooker for heating the boat.

• Never cover the ventilation openings.

1. Ignite the burner by pushing the knob down. Then turn the gas knob to its maximum position, listen for the gas flow, and hold the knob down.

2. Light the flame by lighting the burner with a match, lighter, or built-in ignition system. Keep pushing the knob for 10 seconds. If released earlier, flame sensor might shut down gas.

3. Adjust the flame by turning the knob to the desired size.

4. Turn off the LPG cooker by turning the knob back to its original, off position to stop the gas.

• Close the valves on the supply pipes and the container valve when the appliance is not in use.

• Close the valves before refuelling and immediately in an emergency.

• Check that the appliance valves are closed before opening the container valve.

• Keep the valves of empty cylinders closed and disconnected.

• Fit the protective covers, caps or plugs.

• Store spare or empty cylinders on the open deck or in drained areas designed for the purpose.

System has pressure gauge installed to LPG cylinder connection. LPG system shall be checked for leakage before each use.

• Close appliance valve.

• Open LPG cylinder valve.

• Allow indicated gauge pressure to stabilize.

• Close LPG cylinder valve, and observe pressure gauge reading for 3 min.

• Pressure gauge reading should remain constant if no leak in the LPG system is present.

• Gauge does not provide an indication of liquid LPG remaining in the cylinder, only its vapor pressure, which is a constant at any given temperature.

If LPG leakage is detected or suspected, the following action shall be taken immediately.

• Shut off the LPG supply at the main supply valve.

• Extinguish naked flames and other ignition sources (heaters, cooking appliances etc.).

• Do not operate electric switches.

• Evacuate the area if possible.

Inspect the hoses and pipes in the system regularly, at least once a year.

• Replace parts if there is any deterioration or damage.

• Replace the LPG hoses outside the cabin every second year, and the LPG hoses inside the cabin every 3 to 5 years.

• Check the flue ducts at least once a year.

  • Replace the flue ducts if there is any deterioration or damage.

• Check the connection gaskets for the regulating valve always when containers are replaced, and replace the connection gaskets annually.
