Use and maintenance of the installation
- Please refer to the manufacturer's notes for the use and maintenance of the
LPG cooker.
- When the equipment is not in use close the taps on the LPG hose and on the gas bottles.
Close the taps before changing the bottles and immediately in an emergency.
- Make sure that the taps on the equipment are closed before opening the one on the bottle.
- Before using the LPG installation, check it thoroughly for gas leaks. Check that all of the
connections are gas-tight in the following way:
- Before each use, close the taps on the equipment ;
- Open the tap of the LPG bottle ;
- Allow the pressure of the pressure-gauge mentioned to stabilise ;
- Close the tap on the LPG bottle ;
- Watch the value shown on the pressure-gauge next to the tap on the bottle for
3 minutes. It is important that this value remains constant to establish the absence
of leaks. If the value shown on the pressure-gauge decreases, then there is a
leak. Do not use any LPG powered equipment.
- Find and repair the leaks before any further use.
- Regularly observe the bubble leak detector (if there is one) ; or
- Carry out a manual search by applying a foaming solution, or soapy water or a detergent
(with the taps of the burners closed and those of the installation and of the gas bottle staying
open). The foaming solutions for detecting leaks in the gas installations conforming to the
EN 14291 meet these requirements ;
- If there is a leak, close the tap on the bottle and get the installation repaired before using it
again. The repairs must be carried out by someone proficient in this.
- Do not in any way block the access to the components of the gas-powered installation.
- Make sure that the taps on the empty bottles are closed and put out of circuit. Keep in place
the protection devices, the caps or stoppers. Store the spare bottles in ventilated housing on
deck or in the lockers provided for this, gas-tight and with an external vent.
- Do not use the housings or the LPG bottle lockers to store other equipment.
- The flexible pipes of the LPG powered installation must be regularly checked, at least once
a year and replaced if they have deteriorated.
- Check the vent pipes at least once a year. Replace them if they have deteriorated or split.
- Do not use the hot plate if the regular roll angles or heeling angles are likely to be significant.
(if the boat does not have a gimballed hotplate).
