1. Open Gas Valve: Slowly turn the control knob on the stove counter-clockwise to open the gas valve. You should hear a faint hiss of gas.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Primus Mimer Gas Stove.

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the stove is cool. Wipe down the stove body and pot supports with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or grime. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Burner Head: Periodically check the burner head for any blockages or debris. Use a soft brush to gently clear any obstructions. Do not use sharp objects that could damage the burner.
• Storage: Store the stove in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storage to prevent corrosion.
