of asphyxiation.
- Do not use the cooker as a means of heating.
-
If a leak or fire from an LPG tank is detected, close the
main LPG supply valve and do not use LPG appliances.
- Do not use an installation with a leak before it has been
inspected and repaired by a competent person.
- Do not modify the boat’s LPG system. Installation,
modification and maintenance should be carried out by a
qualified individual. Have the system checked at regular
intervals or as prescribed by national requirements.
- Never use a naked flame to check for leaks.
- Do not use a hotplate or an oven to heat the living areas.
- Fuel-burning equipment with a naked flame consumes
the oxygen in the cabin and leaves combustion residue in the
boat. Ventilation is necessary when this equipment is
used.Open the vents provided for this purpose when using this
equipment. Do not use a hotplate or an oven to heat the living
areas. Never obstruct the openings provided for ventilation.
- Ventilation requirements have been calculated for LPG
appliances as installed. Additional ventilation openings may be
required if other appliances are installed in addition to these
(please consult a professional).
- Never leave the boat unsupervised when equipment
using LPG with a naked flame is on.
- Do not smoke or use a naked flame when replacing LPG
bottles. Close the tap on the empty bottle before detaching to
replace it.
- To ensure sufficient ventilation, make sure that you open
the hatches or ports near the hotplate when using it.
-
Do not use solutions containing ammonia when testing for
leaks manually (ammonia, which is present in certain soaps
and detergents, attacks brass connections). Although the
damage may at first be impossible to detect, the cracks and
leaks may appear several months after contact with the
ammonia).
