Setup

Operating Instructions
- Prepare for Lighting: Place your pot or kettle on the stove's pot supports.
- Open Fuel Valve: Slowly turn the control valve counter-clockwise to release a small amount of gas. You should hear a faint hissing sound.
- Ignite the Stove: Immediately use a lighter or match to ignite the gas at the burner head. If the stove does not light within a few seconds, close the valve, wait for any gas to dissipate, and try again.
- Adjust Flame: Once lit, adjust the flame to your desired intensity by turning the control valve. The FMS-300T features a well-distributed flame for efficient heating.
- Boiling Performance: The FMS-300T is capable of boiling 1 liter of water in approximately 3 minutes and 50 seconds under optimal conditions.
- Turn Off: To extinguish the flame, turn the control valve clockwise until it is fully closed. Ensure the flame is completely out before leaving the stove unattended.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, ensure the stove has completely cooled. Wipe down the stove with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or grime. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the fuel hose, connections, and O-rings for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
- Storage: Store the stove in its carrying pouch in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the fuel canister is disconnected before storage.
Troubleshooting
- Stove Not Lighting:
- Check if the fuel canister is empty or nearly empty.
- Ensure the fuel canister is securely attached and the valve is open.
- Verify that the igniter (if external) is functioning correctly and producing a spark.
- Weak Flame or Inconsistent Burn:
- The fuel canister might be running low.
- In cold temperatures, the fuel pressure can drop. Consider warming the canister slightly (e.g., in a sleeping bag) or using a fuel blend optimized for cold weather.
- Check for blockages in the burner head or fuel line.
- Gas Leak Smell:
- Immediately turn off the fuel valve and disconnect the canister.
- Check all connections for tightness and inspect O-rings for damage.
- If a leak persists, do not use the stove and contact customer support.
