19. Propane and stove
The propane tank locker is located beneath the cockpit seating.
To use:
•
Turn the LPG switch on the 12v panel. This opens the solenoid on the
tank, the red light above the sink will be illuminated.
•
To light, turn the knob you want 90 degrees anticlockwise. When you
push the knob in the self-igniter will light the gas around the burner.
•
Hold the knob in for 5-10 seconds, then release. Make sure that the flame
goes all the way around the burner. Reduce any wind that may hinder this
by closing hatches or switching off fans.
•
Light the oven and the grill in the same way, pressing the knob in to
ignite the burners.
•
If you cannot get it to light, check the manual shut off on the propane
tank. Make sure it is open and try again.
The 12v solenoid system is USCG approved device. You do not need to close
the tank unless you wish.
