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. The cabin door must be kept open when the cooker is in use.
Fuel-burning open flame appliances consume cabin oxygen and discharge combustion products into the boat.
Ventilation is required when appliances are in use.
Open designated vent openings as indicated when appliances are in use.
-
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.
-
Never use an open flame when detecting leaks.
-
Never use the cooker or oven for heating the boat.
-
Never leave the boat unattended when LPG appliances are in use.
-
Never smoke or use open flames when a gas container is being replaced.
-
Never block access to safety equipment, fire extinguishers, fuel valves or main power switches.
-
Never block any ventilation openings made in the boat because their purpose is to clear the air of fuel fumes.
The boat owner shall keep information about the locations and types of the ventilation openings in every space where a gas appliance is installed.
Never use a wrong type of fuel in the cooker as this may damage the cooker.
