5. Operating Instructions
The Everest stove features matchless ignition for convenience.
- Ensure the propane cylinder is connected and the gas valve on the cylinder is open.
- Turn the desired burner control knob to the 'HIGH' position.
- Immediately press the red igniter button located on the front panel. You should hear a click and see the burner ignite. If it does not ignite after a few attempts, turn off the gas, wait 5 minutes, and try again. If still unsuccessful, use a long match or lighter to ignite the burner manually.
- Once ignited, adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob to achieve the desired heat level, from a gentle simmer to a powerful 20,000 BTU output.
- The folding lid provides a 3-sided wind screen, helping to maintain consistent heat distribution and protect the flame from wind.
- After cooking, turn the burner control knobs to the 'OFF' position and close the gas valve on the propane cylinder.
