Pardon my ignorance, but I am a new Beneteau owner.
I am trying to use the Force 10 propane stove onboard.
I have pressure at the tank and ignition at the stove, but no gas at the stove.
I am told there is a solenoid valve switch that needs to be turned on, but cannot seem to locate it.
She is a 2007 Beneteau 49.
If anyone can provide assistance in identifying the location of the switch, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

On my 473, it's one of the switches on the 12 volt panel.

I'm not on the boat, so I can't remember how the switch is labeled. It might be "Gas", or "Propane", or even "Stove".

The ignition spark is from a small battery in the stove.

It takes some seconds for the gas to get to the stove, so I turn on the big burner and click until it lights, then I switch to the small burner if needed.

When done with the stove, before turning off the burner, turn off the solenoid switch, to let the burner flame out, then turn off the stove nob and propane tank's top valve.

Thank you.
I located the switch on the 12v panel.
It was labeled "spare".
Would have never guessed "spare" was French for "stove" :))
