3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future storage or transport. Ensure all protective films and ties are removed.
- Placement: Place the stove on a stable, level, and non-combustible surface. Ensure there is ample space around the stove (at least 1 meter from walls, furniture, and other flammable objects). Always use the stove in a well-ventilated area, especially if used in a semi-enclosed outdoor space.
- Fueling:
- Ensure the stove is completely cool and turned off.
- Unscrew the fuel tank cap.
- Slowly pour clean, clear kerosene into the fuel tank. Do not overfill; observe the fuel gauge.
- Securely replace the fuel tank cap. Wipe up any spilled kerosene immediately.
- Wick Preparation (First Use/New Wick): For the first use or after replacing the wick, allow at least 30 minutes for the wick to fully absorb the kerosene before attempting to ignite the stove. This prevents damage to the wick.

4. Operation
- Ignition:
- Ensure the wick is fully raised by turning the wick adjustment knob clockwise.
- Press the electronic ignition button firmly. The wick should ignite. If it does not ignite on the first attempt, release the button and press it again.

- Adjusting Heat: Turn the wick adjustment knob to raise or lower the wick. A higher wick produces a larger flame and more heat. Adjust to your desired heat output, ensuring the flame remains stable and does not produce excessive soot.
- Extinguishing:
- To turn off the stove, push the extinguishing lever down. The wick will retract, and the flame will extinguish.
- The stove features an odor-saving extinguishing mechanism that minimizes the typical kerosene odor during shutdown.

- Automatic Earthquake Shutdown: The stove is equipped with a safety device that automatically extinguishes the flame if it experiences a strong impact or earthquake. This is a crucial safety feature.
- Cooking Function: The top plate of the stove can be used for heating water or cooking. Ensure that any pots or pans used do not extend beyond the diameter of the top plate to maintain safety and efficiency.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your stove.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the stove with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the stove is cool before cleaning.
- Wick Care:
- Carbon Removal: Periodically inspect the wick for carbon buildup. To remove carbon, allow the stove to run until it is almost out of fuel, then let it burn until the wick is completely dry. This process, known as 'dry burning,' helps to burn off carbon deposits. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual for specific procedures and frequency.
- Wick Replacement: If the wick becomes too short, frayed, or damaged, it must be replaced. Use only genuine TOYOTOMI replacement wicks. Consult the detailed manual for wick replacement instructions.
- Fuel Tank Cleaning: Periodically drain any remaining kerosene and clean the fuel tank to remove sediment or water buildup. Use a clean, lint-free cloth.
- Storage: When storing the stove for an extended period (e.g., during off-season):
- Drain all kerosene from the fuel tank.
- Perform a dry burn to clean the wick.
- Clean the exterior of the stove.
- Store the stove in a dry, dust-free location, preferably in its original packaging.
