5. Operating Instructions

1. Open Gas Supply: Slowly open the valve on your gas cylinder.
2. Ignite Burner: Turn the control knob for the desired burner counter-clockwise to the 'high' position. Immediately press the push-button piezo ignition. You should hear a click and see the flame ignite. If it doesn't ignite on the first try, repeat the process.
3. Adjust Flame: Once ignited, adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob. The stove offers precise gas control for various cooking needs. Note that flame control knobs can be sensitive and may require minor adjustments to achieve the desired heat level.
4. Cooking: Begin cooking on your chosen surface. The dual burners allow for cooking different items simultaneously.
5. Turn Off: After cooking, turn the control knobs clockwise to the 'off' position. Close the valve on your gas cylinder. Allow the stove to cool completely before handling or storing.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Cadac 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe QR stove.

• Cooking Plates: The ceramic flat plate and ribbed plate are easy to clean. For general cleaning, use a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water works effectively. The plates can also be placed in a dishwasher for convenience.
• Stove Body: Wipe down the thermoplastic base and stainless steel top with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Burners: Keep the burner ports clean and free from debris to ensure efficient gas flow and even flame distribution.
• Storage: Ensure the stove is completely cool and clean before packing it into its convenient storage bag. Store in a dry, protected area.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stove Not Igniting:
  • Check if the gas cylinder valve is fully open.
  • Ensure the gas hose and regulator are properly connected and there are no leaks.
  • Verify that the control knob is turned to the 'high' position before pressing the piezo ignition.
  • If the piezo ignition is not clicking, it may need servicing.
• Low Flame or Uneven Flame:
  • Check the gas level in your cylinder.
  • Ensure the burner ports are not clogged with food debris. Clean if necessary.
  • Adjust the flame control knobs carefully, as they can be sensitive.
• Flame Extinguishes Frequently:
  • Ensure the stove is protected from strong winds using the integrated windshields.
  • In extreme cold conditions, gas pressure may be affected, leading to inconsistent operation.
  • Verify the gas connection is secure.
• Gas Odor:
  • Immediately turn off the gas supply at the cylinder.
