5.6.1 Hazard Awareness
LPG is extremely flammable! These gasses readily
form explosive air-vapor mixtures at ambient tem
-
perature. These vapors are heavier than air and
may travel to sources of ignition (e.g. along drainage
systems, into bilges, etc.).
Liquid from the tanks will generate large volumes of
flammable vapor (approximately 250:1).
Cold burns (frostbite) will result from skin/eye contact
with liquid from the tanks.
Liquid release or vapor pressure jets present a risk of
serious damage to the eyes.
Willful abuse involving inhalation of very high concen
-
trations of vapor, even for short periods, can produce
unconsciousness and possibly death. Inhalation may
cause irritation to the nose and throat, headache,

nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Unconsciousness or asphyxiation may result in poor

ly ventilated or confined spaces.
5.6.2 Leak Testing
Conduct the following test on your LPG system to check
for leaks each time the cylinder supply valve is opened
for stove use:
Close all range burner valves by turning the controls
to the OFF position.
Open the manual cylinder and solenoid valve (via the
remote switch) and make a note of the reading on the
pressure gauge.
Close the manual cylinder valve.
Check the pressure gauge. It should remain constant
for at least 10 minutes. If it does not, gas is leaking
out of the system.
If the LPG system has a leak, consult the OEM manual
for directions on leak detection and component replace-
ment.
5.6.3 Basic LPG Panel/Stove Operation
Power up the remote panel (Please refer to the DC
Electric Systems chapter in this manual for details on
powering the remote panel).
Press the “ON” button on the LPG remote panel.
Push in the control knob of the desired burner and
turn counter-clockwise 90 degrees.
While pushing in the control knob, push the ignition
button located on the left side of the control knob.
Once lit, continue pushing the knob in for 20 seconds
to heat up the proper components.
Adjust the knob to the desired level of flame.
Turn off the burner by turning the control knob clock-
wise to the off position.
NOTE: Please refer to the stove top/oven manufacturer's OEM
manual for further details regarding operation, care and main-
tenance.
