Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating this gas stove. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Outdoor Use Only: This appliance is designed for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas. Never use it indoors, in tents, or in enclosed spaces, as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Gas Leaks: Before each use, check for gas leaks. Apply soapy water to all connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Do not use the stove until the leak is fixed. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during operation to prevent oxygen depletion.
• Flammable Materials: Keep the stove away from flammable materials, including tents, clothing, and dry vegetation. Maintain a safe distance from walls and other objects.
• Stable Surface: Always place the stove on a firm, level, non-combustible surface to prevent tipping.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the stove during operation and while it is cooling down.
• Hot Surfaces: The stove and cooking utensils will become very hot during use. Use heat-resistant gloves and allow the stove to cool completely before handling or storing.
• Gas Cartridge Handling: Only use gas cartridges that comply with EN417 standard and have a 7/16" threaded valve. Do not attempt to refill non-refillable cartridges. Disconnect the cartridge when the stove is not in use or during transport.
• Modifications: Do not modify the appliance. Any modification can be dangerous and will void the warranty.

3. Setup

1. Unpack the Stove: Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Unfold the Stove: Place the stove on a stable, level surface. Unlatch the clasps and carefully unfold the stove until both burner sections are fully extended and locked into place.
3. Connect the Gas Cartridge: Ensure both burner control knobs are in the 'OFF' position. Connect the flexible gas hose to the stove's gas inlet. Then, firmly screw a 7/16" threaded valve gas cartridge (EN417 standard) onto the other end of the gas hose. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Ignition: After connecting the gas cartridge, slowly turn the desired burner control knob counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position while simultaneously pressing the knob down to activate the automatic piezo ignition. You should hear a click and see a flame. If the burner does not light after a few attempts, turn the knob to 'OFF', wait a few seconds, and try again.
2. Adjusting the Flame: Once lit, rotate the control knob to adjust the flame intensity. Turn clockwise for a lower flame and counter-clockwise for a higher flame.
3. Cooking: Place your cooking pot or pan securely on the burner grate. Monitor your cooking and adjust the flame as needed.
4. Turning Off: To turn off a burner, rotate its control knob fully clockwise until it clicks into the 'OFF' position. Ensure the flame is extinguished.
5. After Use: Once cooking is complete and the stove has cooled, disconnect the gas cartridge from the hose.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning. 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 they can damage the finish. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
• Burner Inspection: Periodically check the burner ports for any blockages from food debris or insects. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear them if necessary.
• Gas Hose and Connections: Regularly inspect the gas hose for cracks, kinks, or damage. Ensure all connections are tight and free of leaks. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Storage: Once clean and dry, fold the stove back into its compact form. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the gas cartridge is disconnected before storage.
