Fuel Installation (Butane)

1. Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF" position and the locking lever is in the "RELEASE" position.
2. Open the fuel canister cover on the side of the stove.
3. Align the notch on the butane canister with the metal flap (D-guide) inside the stove's fuel compartment.
4. Insert the butane canister firmly into the compartment.
5. Push the locking lever down to the "LOCK" position to secure the canister and ensure a proper seal. Close the fuel canister cover.

Fuel Installation (Propane)

The stove is compatible with 16.4 oz propane cylinders using the included fuel adapter hose. Propane canisters are not included.

1. Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF" position.
2. Locate the propane adapter hose, typically stored underneath the burner top. Lift the burner top to access and remove the hose.
3. Connect one end of the adapter hose to the propane inlet on the stove.
4. Connect the other end of the adapter hose to a 16.4 oz propane cylinder. Ensure all connections are tight.
5. Perform a leak test: Apply soapy water to all connections. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection. If bubbles persist, do not use the stove and contact customer support.

Operating Instructions

Lighting the Stove

1. After installing the fuel source (butane or propane) and ensuring all connections are secure, place the stove on a stable, non-flammable surface.
2. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise past the resistance point until you hear an audible "CLICK". This click indicates the automatic piezo ignition has sparked.
3. If the stove does not light on the first attempt, turn the knob back to "OFF" and repeat the process. You may need to turn the knob a bit more past the resistance point to ensure ignition.
4. Once lit, adjust the flame to your desired cooking intensity by rotating the control knob.

Turning Off the Stove

To turn off the stove, simply rotate the control knob clockwise until it reaches the "OFF" position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished. For butane, move the locking lever back to "RELEASE" and remove the canister when not in use. For propane, close the valve on the propane cylinder first, then disconnect the hose.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your portable stove.

• Cleaning: Allow the stove to cool completely. The burner top can be removed for easy cleaning. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the stove's surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the stove in water.
• Storage: Store the stove in its original carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure no fuel canisters are connected during storage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fuel lines, connections, and burner for any signs of wear, damage, or blockages.
