If there are leakages, shut the valve of the cylinder and have the system repaired by a specialist
before using the appliance again.
Since flames consume oxygen, the room must be ventilated well. Do not use the stove to heat
the saloon.
Never block access to the LPG system.
The valves of empty cylinders must be shut and disconnected from the system. Keep lids and
sealing caps ready for use. Store reserve cylinders and empty cylinders on the open deck or in
the provided spaces that have outboard ventilation!
Never use the lockers or boxes meant for the gas cylinders to store other equipment!
Never leave the yacht unattended if the stove is on.
Check the hose assemblies of the LPG system on a regular basis, at least once a year. Have
them replaced if they are damaged.
If you replace the stove, make sure that the new one has the same working pressure.
Never use the stove in case of high waves or large heel angles (if the boat is not equipped with
a gimballed stove)!
Note: Comply with the inspection intervals of the entire system! The
inspection should only be carried out by a maintenance firm
specialised in LPG systems on boats.
Note: If the boat is travelling under the German flag, you, as owner,
are obliged to have the gas system inspected on a biannual basis by a
specialist of the “Deutsche Verband der Gas- und Wasserinstallateure
mit der Zulassung für Caravane und Boote”.
Please observe the following notes and the manuals or operating instructions of the appliance
manufacturers!
Danger! Escaping gas is heavier than air. It accumulates in the hull.
In this case there is a risk of suffocation and explosion. If you smell
gas, never use fire or unsafe light or electrical devices!
Attention!
Never use solutions containing ammonia to check the conduit.
Never use an open flame to search for leakages
Never smoke or use an open flame when connecting or
replacing gas cylinders.
