Setup

1. Unpack the Stove: Carefully remove the stove from its transport case. Place the stove on a stable, level, non-combustible surface, away from any flammable materials.

2. Open the Gas Cartridge Compartment: Locate the gas cartridge compartment on the side of the stove. Lift the lid to open it.

3. Insert the Gas Cartridge: Ensure the gas control knob is in the "OFF" position. Align the collar of the Butane MSF-1a 227g gas cartridge with the guide in the compartment and push it firmly into place. The nozzle should fit securely into the stove's gas inlet.

4. Lock the Gas Cartridge: Push the gas cartridge locking lever (usually marked "LOCK" or with an arrow) to the "LOCK" position. This secures the cartridge and creates a seal. You should hear a click. Do not force it if it doesn't move easily; re-check cartridge alignment.

5. Place Cookware: If using the grill plate, place it securely on the stove's pot support. Otherwise, place your pot or pan directly on the pot support.

Operating Instructions

Igniting the Stove:

1. Turn the Gas Knob: Rotate the gas control knob counter-clockwise from "OFF" to the "ON" position. You may hear a slight hiss of gas.

2. Activate Piezo Ignition: Press the gas control knob inwards to activate the automatic piezo ignition. This will generate a spark to ignite the gas. If the stove does not ignite on the first attempt, release the knob, wait a few seconds, and try again.

Turning Off the Stove:

2. Unlock Gas Cartridge: Push the gas cartridge locking lever to the "UNLOCK" position. This will release the gas cartridge.

3. Remove Gas Cartridge: Carefully remove the gas cartridge from the compartment. Close the compartment lid.

4. Allow to Cool: Let the stove cool down completely before cleaning or storing.

• Storage: Store the stove in its plastic transport case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the gas cartridge is removed before storage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the gas hose and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. If any damage is found, do not use the stove and contact customer support.
