Operating Instructions

Igniting the Stove:

1. Turn the flame regulator anticlockwise until gas begins to flow.
2. Ignite the stove by pressing the igniter.
3. A yellow flame may be seen after lighting, and the flame may not be stable initially. The flame will turn blue and become stable after several seconds, indicating the stove is ready to use.

Adjusting and Turning Off:

1. Adjust the flame intensity using the flame regulator.
2. After cooking, close the flame regulator by turning it clockwise until it stops and the flame is completely out.
3. Wait for the stove to cool for at least 5 minutes before disconnecting it from the gas cartridge.

Maintenance, Inspection, and Care

1. Keep the product dry and store in a dry environment.
2. Perform regular inspections and maintenance.
3. Ensure the stove operates properly before use.
4. If the stove head gets dirty, wipe it with a clean cloth. Clean the burner head and bottom of the valve once there are visible impurities on the surface.
5. Do not use the stove if it is damaged or malfunctioning.
6. Do not modify the stove.
7. After use, inspect and clean the stove before putting it in its case for storage. Moisture, dust, or debris adhering to the stove may cause clogging or rust, leading to accidents. Inspect and clean the stove before storing it to avoid problems when using it the next time.

Troubleshooting & O-Ring Replacement

Gas Leak Detection:

If you detect a gas leak (smell of gas), immediately take the stove outside to a well-ventilated, flame-free area to address the issue. Use soapy water to check for leaks—never use a flame. If the connection does not look or feel secure, or if you hear or smell leaking gas and cannot stop the flow of gas, do not use the stove or fuel container. Move it to a well-ventilated area away from any ignition source to locate and stop the leak.

Replacing the O-Ring:

1. Use the blunt end of a sewing needle or other suitable tool to remove the old O-ring at the bottom of the valve.
2. Replace it with the included O-ring, ensuring the surface is flat and not cracked.
3. Never use sharp or pointed objects as tools, as these can damage the seal surface.
4. Fit the new O-ring with care to avoid damaging it.

If you cannot rectify any fault by these instructions, return the appliance to your local retailer.
