  • Keep the area around the stove clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Parts List

Before assembly, ensure all parts are present and undamaged:

  • Stove body with two burners
  • Two control knobs (pre-attached)
  • Propane regulator assembly
  • Grates/pot supports

Note: Standard 16.4 oz. propane cylinder is not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack the Stove: Carefully remove all packaging materials.
  2. Position the Stove: Place the stove on a firm, level, non-combustible surface outdoors, away from any flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate clearance from walls or other structures.
  3. Attach Propane Cylinder:
    • Ensure both burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
    • Screw the threaded end of the propane cylinder into the regulator connection on the stove. Hand-tighten only. Do not overtighten.
    • Check for leaks: Apply a soapy water solution to the connection point. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten the connection or replace the cylinder if necessary. Do not use the stove if a leak is detected.
  4. Prepare Cooking Surface: Place the grates/pot supports securely over the burners.

Operating Instructions

  1. Lighting a Burner:
    • Ensure the propane cylinder is securely attached and there are no leaks.
    • Turn the control knob for the desired burner slowly to the "LIGHT" or "HIGH" position. You should hear gas flowing.
    • Immediately apply a lit match or a long-nosed lighter to the burner.
    • Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired cooking temperature using the control knob.
    • If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
  2. Using Both Burners: Repeat the lighting procedure for the second burner as needed.
  3. Turning Off the Stove:
    • Turn both burner control knobs to the "OFF" position.
    • Allow the stove to cool completely before disconnecting the propane cylinder or moving the stove.
    • Once cool, disconnect the propane cylinder by unscrewing it from the regulator.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning:
    • Always ensure the stove is completely cool and the propane cylinder is disconnected before cleaning.
    • Wipe down the stove body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
    • Remove and clean the grates/pot supports with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
    • Keep burner ports clean to ensure efficient operation. Use a soft brush if necessary.
  • Storage:
