  3. Adjust the size of the flame by turning the control knob (2).
  4. After lighting, operate the appliance upright and do not move it around. Flaring may occur if the appliance has not fully warmed, or if it is moved carelessly.
  5. After use, ensure that the valve is fully shut (control knob turned fully clockwise).
  6. Distance to inflammable materials must be ensured. Minimum distance to combustibles at least 500 mm (20 inches) from sides and from top.
