4. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
5. Never use the stove in an enclosed space such as a camper, caravan, tent, car, mobile home, marine craft, or home as it can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor and can kill you.
6. Perform Leak Checks outside, in a well-ventilated area before using the stove:
7. Connect Fuel Regulator to the Fuel Input port located at the rear of the left side of the stove by threading Coupling clockwise.
8. Connect Propane Cylinder (sold separately) into Fuel regulator by threading clockwise in the orientation shown in Fig. 4.
9. Put soapy water on the gas connections between Propane Cylinder and the Regulator as well as the Regulator and the Fuel Input Port. The formation of bubbles indicates a gas leakage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Keep the burner at arm’s length, away from the face, during ignition. Flame can erupt and flare during ignition.
• Do not attempt to light with included pot or any other cookware on the burner. Gas build-up can occur, resulting in increased flame eruption.
• Never expose the stove to flammable vapors or liquids while lighting the burner. It can cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not heat empty 5L Flux Pot. Product damage or injury can occur due to overheating.
• Do not move, lift, or tilt the stove with lit burner(s). Product damage or injury can occur due to flaring.
• If attempting to heat anything other than water in the 5L Flux Pot, use care and stir frequently to avoid boilover or scorching, which may result in product damage or injury.
• Always check that the burners are extinguished before disconnecting the fuel source. Vapors can ignite and cause serious injury.
• Do not use 5L Flux Pot for boiling oil or deep frying. Product damage or injury can occur due to overheating.

Lighting the Burners

CAUTION
Ensure Cooking Grates are free of any cookware prior to lighting. Gas build-up can occur, resulting in increased flame eruption.

1. Open either control valve (3.1) counterclockwise until fully opened and gas flow can be heard.
   NOTE: Our advanced Simmer Control technology requires 4 complete rotations to achieve full gas flow.

2. To light, flip the Igniter Lever (3.2) as shown in Fig. 3. Repeat as necessary.

3. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, close control valves (3.2) and wait 5 minutes before repeating the procedure.

Cooking

1. Rotate the control valve (3.1) of the lit burner clockwise to decrease flame setting.

2. If using the Jetboil 5L Flux Pot (1.3), add liquid or liquid food to the pot before placing on the Cooking Grate.
   WARNING Do not heat empty 5L Flux Pot.

3. Set the 5L Flux Pot on the center of either cooking grate. The bottom of the pot will center on the grate to maximize heating performance.

4.  If using any other cookware, ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking grate.

Maintenance

Flame Check (Every use):
The height of the flame should increase from low to high with counter-clockwise rotation of the control knobs. The flame should be blue with minimal yellow tipping. If flame abnormalities are found, refer to Troubleshooting Section.

Disassembly (Before cleaning, or as needed):

• Pinch the tabs of the Cooking Grate (6.1) together to release them from Drip Tray (6.2) and Chassis (6.3).
• Lift up this end of the Grate, and pull Tab (Fig. 7) from under Drip Tray and Chassis. Set Grate aside.
• Unscrew Burner (Fig. 8) by rotating counter-clockwise, taking caution not to bend the ignitor electrode (3.3). Drip Tray (Fig. 9) is now free to remove from Chassis.

Cleaning Grate / Drip Tray / 5L Flux Pot / 10” Fry Pan
(Before storage, or as needed): Do not use a dishwasher or abrasive compounds to clean. Only wash by hand with soapy water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Flame does not extinguish:
Tighten the control valve as much as possible. Manually blow out flame. Once flame is extinguished, immediately detach the fuel source. See your dealer or contact Jetboil for service.

Igniter fails to spark:
If the stove is wet, the igniter may fail to spark. If the igniter will not spark, check the positioning of the electrode in relation to the burner (11). If not positioned as shown in the instructions, re-position the electrode accordingly. If igniter still fails to spark, use matches or a lighter, following instructions detailed in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Lighting the Burners. See your dealer or contact Jetboil for service if the igniter fails to spark for any other reason.
