XX) LP GAS SYSTEM
GAS STOVE
Your Beneteau is equipped with a propane stove and oven combination. This unit is located in the galley and is gimbaled
for your safety and comfort in a seaway. The stove is supplied by a storage bottle located in a self draining locker in the
cockpit. The pressurized gas is fed thru a regulator at the bottle which reduces the pressure and feeds the propane gas to a
12V solenoid valve. The solenoid is a remotely controlled valve which turns the flow of gas on and off from a switch
located at the 12V distribution panel. A pressure gauge is located before the regulator to check the gas system for leaks.
The boat is delivered without fire extinguishers. It is your responsibility to comply with the laws and
regulations of your country (Number, capacity, type and place of fire extinguishers).
We advise you to install an extinguisher less than 5 meters away from the center of each berth, less than 2 meters away
from the extinguisher aperture in the engine compartment, less than 2 meters away from any open flame device and less
than 1 meter away from the helm pedestal or cockpit. We advise a total capacity of the portable extinguishers reaching
8A/64B, each extinguisher having at least a 5A/34B capacity. The CO2 extinguishers shall be used to fight fires in the
galley and electric fires.
Do not install or store flammable materials above the stove (Curtains, papers, napkins, etc…)
Never leave the boat unattended when the LP gas appliances are in use.
The appliances, which use fuel, consume the oxygen within the cabin and release combustion products into the
boat. It is necessary to ventilate the boat when using the gas cooking appliances. Do not obstruct the air vents of the
boat.
Do not smoke or use an open flame when you are trying to locate a gas leak, change the gas bottle or work on
the gas system.
If you smell gas or find that the burners have gone out by accident, (although some appliance models cut off the
gas automatically if the flames go out) turn off the gas valves and ventilate the boat in order to get rid of any residual
gas. Find the cause of the problem before re-lighting the appliance.
Do not use cooking appliances to heat the inside of the boat.
Turn off the 12V solenoid and the valve on the cylinder when you do not use the appliances.
Do not obstruct the access to the gas system components, in particular the access to the valves (cylinders and gas
cooker).
The flexible hoses, which connect the gas cylinder at one end of the system and the stove at the other end, shall be
changed in pursuance of the regulations in force in your country. Only use hoses, which meet the safety standards of
your country.
Do not use the gas cylinder storage space to store other equipment.
Pay particular attention to keep in good condition the screw thread of the cylinder on which the regulator is attached.
Check the condition of the regulator every year and change it if necessary. Use a regulator identical to the one which
is fitted.
Make sure that the valve of the empty cylinder is turned off and disconnected from the system.
Do not use ammonia-based products to clean any part of the system or to discover a leak.
The LP gas system should be checked for leaks on a regular basis. See the manual provided with the stove for
instructions.
