23. Propane and stove
Hakuna Matata IV is fitted with a three-burner stove and oven.
The propane tank is below the port helm seat.
To use:
The solenoid control switch is just left of the stove. Hold the red safety switch down and
press in on the top of the button. A green LED will indicate that the solenoid is now open.
To light, push and turn the knob you wish to use through 90 degrees anticlockwise and light
the burner using the automatic igniter.
Hold the knob in for 10-15 seconds, then release. Make sure that the flame goes all the way
around. Reduce any wind that may hinder this.
If you cannot get it to light, check the valve on top of the connected tank is open.
When you have finished using the burners, or the stove, switch off the solenoid before you
turn off the knob on the stove. This will burn the gas out of the lines, and you can test
whether the solenoid is working. If the burner remains lit after switching the solenoid off,
you must manually close off the tank in the cockpit.
