•
Before leaving the boat you always have to:
-
turn off the stop cock under the stove unit;
-
turn off the pressure regulator cock on the gas cylinder.
Maintenance and periodic checks
•
We also recommend you to stop the swinging movement of the stove unit, locking it
with the provided bolt located in the low bow side of the oven, when you use it in a
harbour or in still water.
•
Check periodically the conditions of the flexible pipes linking the gas cylinder to the copper
pipes, and the stove unit to the stop cock: if you notice any deterioration sign, have the pipes
replaced with new approved ones of the same type.
•
When the above-described pipes expire, as indicated on the pipes themselves, they must be
replaced in any case, even though they are still in good conditions.
•
Check periodically that the double clips holding the above-mentioned flexible pipes to the
copper pipes are well fixed and tightened.
•
It is advisable to have the copper pipes and the other gas system components periodically
inspected by skilled technicians.
Gas leaks
•
If you smell gas without knowing where it comes from, immediately check that the
stop cocks on the gas cylinders are well turned off and do not activate any electrical
switch. Air the inside of the boat and avoid any source of combustion such as sparks,
flames, lit cigarettes, etc.
•
Then, in case it is impossible to call a skilled technician to detect and fix the gas leak, you
can spread some soap lather over all system connections, beginning from stern, and in
particular over the:
-
regulator - gas cylinder connector;
-
regulator – flexible pipe connector;
-
flexible pipe – copper pipe connector;
-
T-fitting connecting the gas cylinders to the pipe supplying the stove unit;
-
copper pipe –stop cock connector;
-
stop cock – flexible pipe connector;
-
flexible pipe – stove unit connector.
Warning:
the presence of soap bubbles indicates possible leaks.
