1.10.3. Operating the gas system
Fuel burning open flame appliances consume cabin oxygen and
release products of combustion into the craft; Do not use the stove
or oven for space heating. Ventilation is required when appliances
are in use. Open designated vent and openings while appliances
are in use. Never obstruct ventilation openings. The ventilation
requirements have been calculated to suit the LPG appliances as
installed. Additional ventilation might be required if other
appliances are operated simultaneously.
When operating the LPG system ensure sufficient fresh air circulation by opening the deck
portlights, deck hatches or the companion way.
Check the LPG unit for possible leakages before each use:
• Shut the valves of the appliance
• Open the valve of the cylinder and wait for stabilisation from the pressure;
• Shut the valve of the cylinder;
• Watch on the manometer for 3 minutes; the pressure should remain constant!
Do not use an installation that has leaked until it has been
inspected and repaired by a competent person.
The gas system must be operated with great care. You should therefore keep to the following
sequence:
• Check if the cooker valve is shut.
• Open the valve in the cylinder box.
• Open the valve in front of the cooker. It is inside the cabinet under the cooker.
• Open one of the burner valves, keep it pressed (safety pilot) and ignite the gas.
• Keep the valve pressed until the flame burns stably!
When turning off, keep to the following sequence:
• Shut the valve at the cylinder; the flame extinguishes.
• Then shut the valve in front of the cooker and the burner valve!
