X) GAS SYSTEM
Gas Stove
The boat is delivered without any fire extinguisher. It is your own responsibility to comply with
the laws and regulations of your own country (Number, capacity, type and place of fire extinguishers).
We advise you at least to install an extinguisher less than 5 metres away from each berth, less than 2
meters away from the extinguisher aperture in the engine compartment, less than 2 meters away from any
naked flame device and less than 1 meter avay from the helm pedestal. 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 or electric fires.
Do not fit or store flammable materials above or over the stove (Curtains, papers,
napkins, and so on……).
Never leave the boat unattended when the gas or spirit appliances are working.
The appliances which use fuel consume the oxygen within the cabin and release the combustion
products into the boat. It is necessary to ventilate the boat when the gas cooking appliances are working.
Do not obstruct the air vents of the boat.
Do not smoke or use a naked flame when you are trying to locate a gas leak or when you change
the gas bottle or whenever you intervene on the gas system.
If you smell gas or find that the burners have gone out, by accident, (although appliance models
cut off the gas automatically if the flames go out) turn off the gas taps and do ventilate the boat in order to
get rid of any residual gas. Find the root of the problem.
For the stoves with an integral gas cylinder you shall change the cylinder outside the boat. Test
the stove before you put it back in the galley. Pay particular attention to the stove fittings and make sure
the stoves are locked after they have been put in their places.
Do not use cooking appliances to heat the inside of the boat.
Make sure that the taps of the burners are turned off before you turn on the tap of the hoses and
of the cylinder.
Turn off the tap on the feed hose and the taps on the cylinders when you do not use the
appliances.
Do not obstruct the access to the gas system components, in particular the access to the taps (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 equipments.
Pay particular attention to keep in good condition the screw thread of the cylinder on which the
regulator is. Check the condition of the regulator every year and change it if necessary. Use a regulator identical
to the ones which are fitted.
Make sure that the taps of the empty cylinders are turned off and disconnected from the system.
Do not use ammonia based products to clean it or to discover a leak.
