SAFETY DIRECTIONS CONCERNING GAS STOVE
Shut the valves in the system and on the cylinder when the appliances are not in use. Close the valve before
any change of cylinder and immediately in case of emergency. Never leave appliances burning unattended.
Do not fit or store flammable materials above or over the stove (curtains, papers, napkins, and so on...).
Be sure that the valves of the appliances are turned off before you turn on the valves of the gas cylinder or of
the hoses.

If you smell gas or find that the burners have gone out, by accident (although appliance models cut off
automatically if the flames go out) turn off the gas taps and do ventilate the boat in order to get rid of any
residual gas. Find the cause of the problem.
Regularly test the gas system for leaks.
Shut the appliance valves and open the cylinder and check all connections for leaks with soapy water or a
detergent solution. In case of leak, shut the cylinder valve and repair before using the cylinder again.
The appliances burns oxygen in the cabin and releases combustion gases, therefore ventilation is mandatory
when the appliances are used.
Don't obstruct the ventilation holes and at least leave the door open.
Don't use the oven or cooker for cabin heating.
Immediate access to the gas system components must be unobstructed at all times. Empty cylinders must be
disconnected and their valves must be shut. Keep the protective covers, plugs and hatches in place.
Store the empty or spare bottles on the deck or in a locker, if ventilated to the outside. Do not use the gas
cylinder storage space to store any other equipment and never store the gas cylinders in another place.
Test the LPG system for leakage regularly. Check all connections for leakage by
- routine observation of the bubble- leak detector (if fitted with a detector),
