Setup

Follow these steps to properly set up your butane stove:

1. Prepare the Stove: Ensure the stove is on a stable, level, non-combustible surface. Make sure the control knob is turned all the way clockwise to the "OFF" position.
2. Release Locking Lever: Verify that the canister locking lever is in the "RELEASE" position. If it's in the "LOCK" position, you will not be able to insert the fuel canister.

5. Lock Canister: Push the canister locking lever all the way down to the "LOCK" position. This secures the butane canister in place and connects it to the stove's fuel line. Close the fuel compartment cover.
