Cooking Stoves & Propane Stoves; To Operate - Cal Boats CAL 27 Mk III Owner's Manual

COOKING STOVES & PROPANE STOVES
The propane stove in your boat has been pressure tested at every joint with a special fluid
at the plant prior to shipping, but we recommend that you have it checked by your own dealer
after it has been launched, as boats go through some fairly heavy jars during overland travel .
Details on the operation of the propane stove will be found in the manufacturer's instruction
manual, which should be carefully reviewed .

To Operate:

1) Be sure the burner valves are in the OFF position .
2) Be sure the electric safety switch over the stove is in the OFF position .
3) Turn the valve on at tank .
4) Move the electric safety switch into the ON position . This switch controls a Solenoid mounted
between the propane tanks . In the OFF position there is no pressure anywhere inside the boat .
Please refer to Marinetics Corp ., Document #609 .
5) Turn on the burner valve you desire and light . If the system is new, or the tanks have just been
replaced, there could be a quantity of air in the supply line .
WARNING: YOU MAY GO THROUGH MORE THAN ONE MATCH, BUT DO NOT LEAVE
BURNER VALVE ON WHILE GETTING ANOTHER MATCH LIT . THE GAS COULD BE COMING
OUT WHILE YOU'RE GETTING THE NEXT MATCH LIT . THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION .
When cooking has been completed, turn off the electric safety switch; and after the burner
goes out, close the burner valve . This will indicate that the electric safety valve is working
and will also remove pressure from the feed line inside the boat . For added safety, the manual
shut-off valve at the tanks may be closed, when the boat is left unattended or overnight . The
entire system should be checked out at least once a year . Pay particular attention to corroded
or cracked fittings and supply lines .
