2. Safety Information

WARNING: For outdoor use only. Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the stove.

• Always operate the stove on a flat, stable, and non-combustible surface.
• Do not use oversized cookware that covers the fuel compartment, as this can lead to overheating and dangerous conditions.
• Use only with an approved 8 oz butane canister. Using other fuel types or sizes can be hazardous.
• Ensure the adjustable dial is in the OFF position before attempting to lock the canister into place. Failure to do so may prevent proper locking.
• When connecting the canister, ensure no other source of heat or flame is present in the vicinity.
• Do not use the burner if it is leaking, damaged, or not operating properly. Inspect the stove before each use.
• Always remove the butane canister from the burner when the stove is not in use and before storage.
• Keep children and pets away from the stove during operation.
• Allow the stove to cool completely before handling or storing.

3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Gas One portable butane gas stove:

1. Prepare the Stove: Place the stove on a flat, sturdy, and non-combustible surface outdoors. Ensure the control knob is in the OFF position and the canister locking lever is in the UNLOCK position.
2. Open Canister Compartment: Open the side cover of the stove to access the butane canister compartment.
3. Insert Butane Canister: Remove the cap from an 8 oz butane canister. Align the nozzle of the butane canister with the regulator notch inside the compartment. Insert the canister firmly.
4. Lock Canister: Push down the canister locking lever to the LOCK position. This secures the canister and connects it to the stove's fuel line. If you hear a hissing sound, the canister is not connected properly; re-adjust and lock again.
5. Prepare for Cooking: Ensure the pot support is correctly positioned over the burner.

4. Operation

Once the stove is set up and the butane canister is locked in place, you can begin cooking:

1. Ignite the Burner: Turn the control knob counter-clockwise towards the IGNITION position until you hear a click. This indicates that a spark is being produced, igniting the gas.
2. Adjust Flame: Once lit, continue turning the control knob to adjust the flame to your desired heat level (MIN to MAX).
3. Cooking: Place your cookware on the pot support and begin cooking.
4. Turn Off: To turn off the stove, turn the control knob clockwise to the OFF position. Wait until the flame is completely extinguished.
5. Remove Canister: After the burner has cooled down, raise the canister locking lever to the UNLOCK position and remove the butane canister from the compartment. Close the compartment cover.

• Fuel Line Check: Inspect the fuel line and connections for any signs of leaks or wear. If any damage is found, do not use the stove and contact customer support.
