And here is some more advice on how to prevent difficulties with the gas installation:
-
Close all gas valves if the stove is not in use. In a case of emergency you should close the valves
immediately.
-
The stove valves have to be closed before the gas cylinder valve is opened.
-
Check the L.P.G. installation for possible leakages regularly. Check all connections with soap suds or
the like (for doing so the stove valves have to be closed – all other valves of the installation have to
be open).
-
If you find any leakages close all valves and have the installation repaired by a specialist before
further use.
-
Since the flames consume oxygen a proper airing and deaeration is necessary. Do not use the stove
for heating the cabin.
-
Valves of empty gas cylinders have to be closed and disconnected from the installation. Have the
covers ready.
-
Do not use the gas cylinder casing for storing other equipment.
-
Never leave your yacht unattended if the stove is in use.
-
Check the hose pipes at least once a year . Have them replaced if necessary.
-
If you install a new stove make sure that is has got the same working pressure.
-
Check the exhaust gas pipes at least once a year. Replace them if they a defective.
2.7 Fire protection
When building the yacht special attention was payed to avoid the risks of fire. This includes the choice of
materials, the distance of stove flames to the surrounding built-in furniture and an island position of the
engine. The engine room has got a lining with fire resistant insulating material.
As the owner of the yacht you should keep this state and pay attention to the following advice:
Furthermore you and your crew can support fire protection if you follow the following advice:
Attention:
Keep the bilge clean and check regularly if there is a smell of fuels or gas.
Do not have any freely suspended curtains above or close to the stove or other
devices with open fire.

inflammable materials in the engine room make sure that they are protected
against falling into the engine installation or are in the way.
Never
- obstruct any exits or hatches.
- alter safety installations like fuel- and gas valves and electric switches and
the like.
- leave the yacht unattended if the stove or the heating is in use.
Never
- use gas lights in the yacht.
- fuel the tank or replace gas cylinders if the engine is running or if the stove
or heating is used.
