Close all the shut-off valves when there is no-one on board (shut-off valve, regulator tap), even
when the bottle is believed to be empty.
-
Never smoke when going inside the boat if it has been closed up. Make sure there is no smell
of gas.
-
If you can smell gas, close all the gas valves and taps including the cooker. Ventilate the boat
and establish the cause of the leak before putting the gas system back into service.
-
Do not use the cooker if there is likely to be heavy rolling or a continuous list.
- Turn off all the taps of the LPG system and the tap on the bottle when the gas system is not in
use. Turn off the taps every time before changing the bottle, and immediately in case of
emergency.
-
Ensure that the taps on the appliances are turned off before opening the tap on the bottle.

Never use the gas bottle locker for storing any other equipment.
WARNING
The gas system valves must be switched off immediately in case of emergency.
Never leave the vessel unattended when gas appliances are running.
If a leak is detected, close the main gas valve and do not use any LPG appliances.
Equipment which has a naked flame consumes oxygen from within the cabin and produces waste
products and gases which are emitted into the boat. Good ventilation is essential: open the ded icated
vents or hatches when using gas appliances.
Never obstruct the ventilation openings and check that any smoke ducting functions correctly .
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Care must be taken to avoid any contact with naked flames or other heat sources.
