Lighting the Burner

1. Ensure the burner base is free of any pot before lighting.
   Gas build-up can occur, resulting in increased flame eruption.
   NOTICE Performance may be suboptimal if used in extreme conditions (cold, hot, wind, altitude).

2. Add contents to the pot, and cover it with a lid, but do not put the pot on the stove yet. Now you are ready to light the burner.

3. Hold a lit match or lighter over top of the burner [Fig 8].

4. Open the control valve [7.1] counterclockwise until the stove is lit and the valve is fully opened.

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

WARNING Do not use the stove to warm the fuel canister. Can result in an explosion.

Usage

1. If necessary, rotate the control valve (7.1) clockwise to decrease the flame setting.
2. Once the burner is lit, carefully place the pot with its contents on the burner base, centered on pot supports (Fig 9 & 10).

CAUTION Use care when removing the lid. Steam and/or contents may be hot and can cause injury.

After Use

1. Turn off the control valve (7.1) (tighten clockwise) to extinguish the flame.

2. Remove pot from burner base – hold pot by the handle (9.1).
   WARNING Exposed metal parts will be hot and may cause injury if touched.

3. Always disconnect the fuel canister after use. Unscrew the fuel canister from the burner base (Fig 4), and replace the plastic fuel cap.
