5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Ignition (Battery-Free Manual Ignition)
- Ensure the fuel tank is filled with kerosene and the cap is securely fastened.
- Turn the ignition lever 1 to 2 times. This action generates a spark to ignite the wick.
- Confirm that the wick is lit and a stable flame is present.
5.2 Adjusting Heat Output
The heat output can be adjusted by raising or lowering the wick. Refer to the control knob or lever on your stove for specific adjustments.
- Turn the control knob/lever clockwise to lower the wick and decrease heat.
- Turn the control knob/lever counter-clockwise to raise the wick and increase heat.
- Avoid setting the flame too high, as this can lead to incomplete combustion and soot.
5.3 Extinguishing the Stove
To turn off the stove, use the designated extinguishing lever or button. The Odor-Save Extinguishing feature will activate to minimize residual odors.
- Push or turn the extinguishing lever/button to the 'OFF' position.
- The flame will retract and extinguish. Allow the stove to cool down completely before handling or moving.
5.4 Refueling Indicator
The refueling indicator on the tank changes color to alert you when the kerosene level is low. Refuel promptly when indicated to avoid the stove running out of fuel during operation.
5.5 Safety Shut-off Features
- Anti-Earthquake Automatic Extinguishing Device: In the event of an earthquake or significant impact, the stove will automatically shut off to prevent hazards.
- Refueling Extinguishing Device: For added safety, the stove will automatically extinguish if the refueling cap is opened during operation.
