4.5 . INSTALLATION OF GAS-POWERED APPLIANCES
4.5.1
.Gas stove
DANGER
Never place flammable materials above the
gas stove (curtains, papers, napkins, etc.).
Never smoke or use an open flame while replacing
LPG cylinders. Close the valves on empty cylinders
before disconnecting them for their replacement.
Never use an open flame to search for leaks.
WARNING
Never smoke or bring an open flame close
when searching for a gas leak or when
replacing a gas cylinder or when performing any other
job on the gas installation.
Never leave the boat unsupervised when using open
flame appliances powered by LPG.
Open flame appliances using fuel use the oxygen of
the cabin and release combustion products in the
boat.
Never use a gas stove or stove to heat the boat’s
living quarters. It is necessary to ventilate the boat
when these appliances are in use. Open the air
vents designed for this purpose when using open
flame appliances. Never block air vents. Ventilation
requirements have been designed for LPG appliances
as installed. It is a good idea to open additional air
vents when using several appliances simultaneously.
Never modify the boat’s LPG system.
All installations, modifications and maintenance must
be carried out by a qualified technician. Have the
system checked at regular intervals or at intervals
established by national law.
If you find a leak, close the main LPG supply valve and
do not use any LPG appliances.
ATTENTION
Fuel-burning appliances use the oxygen of
the cabin and release combustion products
in the boat. It is necessary to ventilate the boat when
using gas-powered cooking appliances. Do not block
the boat’s ventilation vents (air intake vent) and leave
at least the door open.
Never use cooking appliances to heat rooms.
Make sure that valves and gas rings are closed before
opening the valve on the pipes and gas cylinder.
Always close the valves before replacing the cylinder,
and immediately in the event of an emergency.
Never use ammonia-based solutions for cleaning, nor
to identify a leak.
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATIONS
Never leave the boat unsupervised when
using gas or alcohol powered appliances.
If you smell gas or extinguish the flame accidentally
(even though the gas supply is automatically shut off
in the event of a flame extinction), close the valves
and create a draught of air to evacuate any residual
gases. Search for the cause of the problem.
Close the valve on the supply pipe and the valves on
the gas cylinders when not using the appliances.
The cylinders in gas stoves with integral cylinders will
have to be changed outside the boat. Test them before
re-installing the stove in the galley. Make sure to lock
the gas stove hinges properly after installation.
Never block air vents.
Store spare gas cylinders in ventilated housings on
the bridge, or in gas-tight lockers provided for this
purpose that vent to the outside.
Never block the access to gas system components,
especially the valves (cylinders and gas stove).
The flexible hoses connecting the cylinder at one end
of the circuit to the gas stove at the other end, must be
replaced according to the laws in force in your country.
Only use hoses that comply with the standards in your
country.
