Release a small amount of fuel for
preheating.
The stove’s burner has to be hot to allow the liquid fuel to
vaporize at the nozzle and burn effi ciently. Therefore, you have
to preheat the burner before you can start preparing food. This
is done by fi rst releasing a squirt of fuel and allowing it to burn
for a short time, heating up the nozzle in the burner.
The preheating time varies depending on what type of fuel you
are using. For example, gasoline is vaporized more readily than
kerosene and requires less preheating. Preheating takes longer
when it is cold and if the stove is not protected from the wind.
Start by opening the control valve for two seconds. It is diffi cult to see how much fuel has run out
onto the wick, but as time goes by you will get a feel for this. Proceed with caution as you familiarize
yourself with your stove.
WARNING! Check for fuel leaks at the bottle, pump, hose and burner before
lighting the stove.

Light the fuel and wait until the fl ame
has almost burned out.
Light the fuel at the wick using a match or lighter. The wick is the
white pad in the center of the burner, in the bottom of the cup.
This is accessed via one of the holes in the cup. Of course, it
is important to make sure that you never hold your face or any
other part of your body directly over the stove when you light it.
The fuel may ignite explosively.
If the stove cannot be lit, you might not have released enough
fuel. If this is the case, repeat step 6.
The fuel will burn with a yellow, fl aring fl ame and heat the burner. Wait a short time until the fuel has
almost burned out and the fl ame has become small.
WARNING! Keep children away from the stove and never leave it without
supervision.
