Safety instructions concerning the gas
system
The gas bottles are located in the starboard locker of the aft cockpit.
The type of bottle (butane) is according to the current standards in your
country.
Close the system and gas bottle valves when the appliances are not
in use.
Close the valves before changing the gas bottle and immediately in
the event of an emergency.
Never leave an unattended appliance in use.
Do not fit or store flammable materials above the stove (curtains,
paper, napkins etc.).
Do not use the oven or stove as back-up heaters.
Never obstruct access to the components of the gas system.
Ensure that all appliance valves are closed before you open the gas
bottle or hose valve.
If you smell gas or find that the burners have gone out (although
appliances cut off automatically if the flames go out), close the
appliance valves. Ventilate the boat to evacuate any residual gas. Find
the cause of the problem.
Test the gas system regularly in order to detect any gas leaks.
Check all connections using soapy water or a detergent solution,
closing all appliance valves and opening the gas bottle valve.
If you detect a leak, close the gas bottle valve and repair it before you
use it again.
The appliances use oxygen from the cabin and release flammable
gases. Ventilate your boat when using the appliances.
Do not obstruct the air vents and leave at least the door open.
Lock the cooker in position when not in use in order to avoid damage
to the gas hose when sailing.
Keep the valves of empty gas bottles turned off and the gas bottles
disconnected.
Keep protective guards, lids, covers and caps in their correct places.
Store any spare and empty gas bottles on the deck or in a locker with
exterior ventilation.
Do not use the gas bottle storage compartment to store other
equipment. Store the gas bottles in their proper compartment only.
Regularly check and replace the rubber tubing that links the gas
bottle to one end of the circuit and the stove to the other, according to
the current norms and regulations in your country.
Pay particular attention to maintaining in good condition the screw
thread of the gas bottle where the regulator is located. Check the
condition of the regulator every year and change it if necessary. Use
regulators which are identical to those already fitted.
Have any repairs carried out by a skilled technician.
