- Unpack: Remove the stove from its carrying case and place it on a stable, level, non-combustible surface outdoors.
- Open Gas Compartment: Locate the gas canister compartment on the side of the stove. Open the cover.
- Insert Gas Canister: Ensure the stove's control knob is in the 'OFF' position. Align the notch on the gas canister collar with the guide tab inside the gas compartment. Push the canister firmly into place.
- Lock Canister: Push the gas canister locking lever (often labeled 'LOCK' or 'GAS LOCK') to the 'LOCK' position to secure the canister. Ensure it is fully engaged.
- Check for Leaks: Before lighting, perform a leak check. Apply a soapy water solution to the gas canister connection point. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Do not proceed; tighten the connection or replace the canister.

5. Operating Instructions
- Ignition: Ensure the gas canister is properly installed and locked. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise from 'OFF' to the 'ON' position while simultaneously pressing the ignition button (usually red or black, located near the control knob). You should hear a click and see the burner ignite.
- Flame Adjustment: Once ignited, continue to turn the control knob to adjust the flame intensity. Turn towards 'MAX' for a stronger flame and towards 'MIN' for a weaker flame.
- Turning Off: To turn off the stove, turn the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished.
- After Use: After the stove has cooled completely, push the gas canister locking lever to the 'UNLOCK' position and remove the gas canister. Close the gas compartment cover.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the porcelainized steel finish.
- Burner: Keep the burner clean and free of food debris. Use a soft brush if necessary. Ensure burner ports are not clogged.
- Storage: Store the stove in its original carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always remove the gas canister before storage.
