   Screw the fuel hose connector onto the threaded valve of your gas canister. Ensure it is hand-tightened securely to prevent gas leaks. Do not overtighten.
5. Check for Leaks: Apply a small amount of soapy water to the connection point between the stove and the fuel canister. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten the connection or replace the canister if necessary. Do not proceed until all leaks are resolved.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare for Ignition: Ensure the stove is stable and the fuel canister is connected. Place your cookware on the pot supports.
2. Open Gas Valve: Slowly turn the gas control knob on the fuel line counter-clockwise to allow a small amount of gas to flow. You should hear a faint hissing sound.
3. Ignite the Stove: Press the electric ignition button firmly. The stove should ignite with a blue flame. If it does not ignite after a few attempts, turn off the gas, wait a minute, and try again. If the electric ignition fails, use a long-stem lighter or match to ignite the gas manually.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the stove is cool. Wipe down the stove body and pot supports with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or grease. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Ensure the stove is completely dry before folding and placing it back into its storage case. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fuel hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check the O-rings on the fuel connector for deterioration. Replace any damaged parts immediately.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Stove does not ignite with electric ignition.

Solution:

• Ensure the fuel canister is connected correctly and has gas.
• Check if the gas control knob is slightly open.
• Verify that the igniter pin is clean and positioned correctly near the burner.
• If electric ignition fails, use a manual lighter or match.

Problem: Weak or inconsistent flame.

Solution:

• Check the fuel level in the canister.
• Ensure the gas control knob is fully open.
• Clean the burner head if it appears clogged.
• In cold weather, the fuel canister may need to be warmed slightly (e.g., by placing it in a warm sleeping bag, never near an open flame).

Problem: Gas leak detected.

Solution:

• Immediately turn off the gas control knob and disconnect the fuel canister.
• Re-tighten all connections.
• Inspect the fuel hose and O-rings for damage. Replace if necessary.
• Perform a soapy water leak test again before attempting to use the stove.
