Operating Instructions

1. Prepare for Ignition: Ensure the stove is on a stable surface and gas connections are secure. Place your cookware on the grate.
2. Ignition: Turn the control knob for the desired burner slowly counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position while simultaneously pressing the knob inward to activate the automatic piezo ignition. You should hear a click and see the burner ignite.
3. Adjust Flame: Once ignited, adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob. Turn clockwise to decrease the flame and counter-clockwise to increase it.
4. Cooking: Cook as desired. The two independent burners allow for simultaneous cooking at different heat levels.
5. Turning Off: To turn off a burner, rotate its control knob fully clockwise to the 'OFF' position. Ensure the flame is extinguished.
6. After Use: After cooking, turn off both burners and allow the stove to cool completely. Once cool, disconnect the gas cartridge from the hose and the hose from the stove. Store the cartridge in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the stove is completely cool. Wipe down the stainless steel burners and painted steel structure with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Storage: Once clean and dry, fold the stove back into its compact form. Store the stove and gas cartridges separately in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the gas hose and connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.

Troubleshooting

• No Ignition:
  • Ensure the gas cartridge is properly connected and has gas.
  • Check that the control knob is pressed inward while turning to activate the piezo ignition.
  • Verify that the gas flow is not obstructed.
• Weak Flame:
  • The gas cartridge may be running low. Replace with a new one.
  • Ensure the control knob is fully open for maximum flame.
  • Check for any blockages in the burner or gas line.
• Gas Leak Smell:
  • Immediately turn off the gas supply at the cartridge.
  • Move the stove to a well-ventilated area.
