1. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.
2. Fuel Selection: Use only denatured alcohol or ethanol as fuel. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other volatile fuels.
3. Filling the Burner: Remove the extinguishing cover and carefully pour the alcohol into the burner reservoir. Do not overfill; leave some space at the top to prevent spillage.
4. Placement: Place the alcohol burner on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from any combustible materials. Ensure adequate ventilation.

2. Operating Instructions

1. Ignition: Using a long match or lighter, carefully ignite the alcohol in the burner. The flame may be difficult to see in bright light.
2. Adjusting Flame: The burner features an adjustable flame design. The extinguishing cover can be partially rotated to control the flame intensity by regulating airflow.
3. Cooking: Place your cooking pot or chafing dish securely over the lit burner. The ergonomic, anti-scald handle allows for safe handling of the burner itself.
4. Extinguishing: To extinguish the flame, carefully place the extinguishing cover completely over the burner. This will cut off oxygen and put out the flame. Do not blow on the flame.
5. Refueling: Allow the burner to cool completely before attempting to refuel. Never refuel a hot or lit burner.

3. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the burner is completely cool. Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. The non-stick surface facilitates easy cleaning.
• Drying: Dry all parts completely before storage to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Storage: Store the alcohol burner in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the burner for any signs of wear or damage. Do not use if damaged.

4. Troubleshooting

• Burner not igniting:
  • Ensure there is sufficient alcohol in the reservoir.
  • Verify the fuel is denatured alcohol or ethanol, not water or other non-flammable liquids.
  • Use a reliable ignition source (long match or lighter).
• Flame is too low or inconsistent:
  • Check if the extinguishing cover is partially obstructing the airflow. Adjust it to allow more oxygen.
  • Ensure the burner is not overfilled, which can suppress the flame.
  • The fuel level might be low; refuel if necessary (after cooling).
• Smoke or unusual odor:
  • Ensure you are using the correct type of alcohol fuel.
  • Check for any foreign objects in the burner.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation in the cooking area.
