Gas system
6.
Suitable containers for the two 3 kg gas cylinders have been arranged in the aft deck angles,
one on the starboard and the other on the port side (see page 60), which can be accessed by
lifting the respective peak lid. Each container has, on the bottom, a hole, connected through
a plastic pipe to a scupper in the hull side, allowing the adequate ventilation and exhaust.
7.
Inside the above-mentioned containers there is the pressure regulator that must be mounted
on the gas cylinder. That regulator, suitable for gas cylinders with a ball retention valve and
a left ¼ gas cylinder connection, is completed with a 90° opening stop cock and a regulating
handle to be adjusted at the wished position.
8.
Each gas cylinder is linked, by an approved flexible pipe, to the copper pipes supplying the
stove unit. Those copper pipes, through a T-fitting located in the aft peak, near the port gas
cylinder, are linked to the other copper pipes which, running along the port side of the boat,
reach the stop cock under the oven, in the aft side.
9.
Another approved flexible pipe supplying the burners and oven unit is mounted on the above
mentioned stop cock, to allow the oven to swing.
Instructions
To light a burner (please consult also the manufacturer’s manual):
•
Open the pressure regulator cock on the wished gas cylinder.
We advise you to always use the same gas cylinder until it is completely finished
and to keep the other one in reserve.
•
Open the stop cock located under the oven (see diagram).
•
Press the button of the wished burner: being equipped with a safety thermocouple, after
lighting, keep the button pressed for a few seconds until the thermocouple is hot.
Warning:
as the years go by, the safety thermocouple tends to lose its working order.
Therefore, we advise you to check periodically its functioning and, in case of anomaly,
have a new one installed by a skilled technician.
Warning
•
We remind you that the gas system is under pressure and therefore possible leaks
may occur.
•
The gas flame, as any other flame, must be used on board with extreme caution.
•
Any flame on board may be a risk as it is a potential trigger for combustion.
