• Hot Surfaces: The stove and cookware will become very hot during and after use. Allow to cool completely before handling or storing.
• Leak Check: Before each use, check for gas leaks. Apply soapy water to connections; bubbles indicate a leak. Do not use if a leak is detected.
• Storage: Store gas canisters in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Disconnect the canister from the stove before storage.
• Explosion-Proof Rod: The stove is equipped with an explosion-proof rod designed to prevent the gas tank from exploding under abnormal pressure. Do not tamper with this safety feature.

1. Prepare the Stove: Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF" position. Open the gas canister compartment cover.
2. Align Canister: Take a compatible 150g, 220g, or 250g butane gas canister. Align the notch (gap) on the gas canister's valve with the convex part of the cylinder connector inside the stove's compartment.
3. Insert Canister: Push the gas canister horizontally into the compartment until you hear a distinct "click." This indicates a secure magnetic connection.
4. Close Cover: Close the gas canister compartment cover.
5. Leak Check: Before lighting, perform a leak check. Apply soapy water to the connection points. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Disconnect the canister, re-align, and re-insert. If leaks persist, do not use the stove and contact customer service.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lighting the Stove

1. Ensure the gas canister is correctly installed and there are no leaks.
2. Place your cookware on the pot rack. Remember, the maximum recommended cookware diameter is 24 cm.
3. Turn the control knob slowly counter-clockwise towards the "ON" position until you hear a click and the burner ignites. The stove uses piezoelectric ignition, so no external lighter is needed.
4. If the burner does not ignite on the first attempt, turn the knob back to "OFF" and try again.

5.2 Adjusting Flame Intensity

Rotate the control knob to adjust the flame intensity. Turning it further towards "ON" increases the flame, while turning it towards "OFF" decreases it.
