or according to current standards of your country).
Close the valves on the system and on the cylinder when the appliances are not used. Close the valves before you change
cylinders and immediately in case of emergency.
Never leave unattended an appliance that is working. Don't install or store flammable materials above or over the stove (curtains,
papers, napkins etc.).
Make sure that the valves of the appliances are closed before you open the cylinder or hose valve.
In case you smell gas or find that the burners have gone out (although appliance models cut off automatically if the flames go
out), turn off the valves of the appliances. Do ventilate the boat in order to get rid of any residual gas. Find the cause of the
problem.
Regularly test the gas system in order to detect any gas leak.
Check all the connections using water and soap or detergent, closing the valves of the appliances and opening the valve on the
cylinder.
If you detect a leak, close the valve of the cylinder and repair before you use it again.
The appliances use the oxygen of the cabin and release combustible gases. Ventilate your boat when using appliances.
Don't obstruct the air vents and at least leave the door open. Don't use the oven or stove as back up heaters.
Lock the stove oven when being not used in order to avoid damaging the tubes when sailing.
Never obstruct the fast access to the components of the gas system. Keep the taps of the empty cylinders turned off and the
cylinders disconnected.
Keep the protection, lids, covers and taps in their places. Store the empty and spare cylinders on the deck or in a locker with a
ventilation to the open air.
Don't use the gas cylinder storage place to store other equipment. Only use the proper locker to store the gas cylinders.
Regularly check and replace the rubber tubings that link the cylinder to one end of the circuit and the stove to the other one,
depending on the norms and regulations in force in your country.
