When the cooker is on, ventilate well to prevent any risk
of asphyxiation.

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. The installation,
modification and maintenance should be carried out by a
competent person. Have the system checked at regular
intervals or as fixed 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.
- Equipment with a naked flame burning fuel consumes the
oxygen in the cabin and gives out combustion residue in the
boat. Ventilation is necessary when this equipment is
used.Open the vents provided for this when using this
equipment. Do not use a hotplate or an oven to heat the living
areas. Never obstruct the vents provided for ventilation.
- Ventilation requirements have been calculated for LPG
appliances as installed. Additional ventilation openings may be
required if other appliances are installed simultaneously
(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 it 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 ammonium 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 the contact with the
ammonia)).
