Setup

1. Unpack: Remove the stove from its packaging and place it on a stable, level surface outdoors.

3. Extend Wind Guards: Pull out the side wind guards and secure them in their upright position.
4. Attach Propane Cylinder:
   • Ensure both burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
   • Screw the propane cylinder onto the threaded connector on the side of the stove until hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
   • Check for leaks: Apply a soapy water solution to the connection point. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten the connection or replace the cylinder if necessary. Do not light the stove if a leak is detected.
5. Place Grates: Ensure the chrome-plated grates are properly seated over the burners.

Operating

1. Lighting a Burner:
   • Turn the desired burner's control knob to the "LIGHT" or "HIGH" position.
   • Immediately apply a lit match or a long-stemmed lighter to the burner.
   • Once lit, adjust the flame to the desired cooking temperature using the control knob.
2. Adjusting Flame: The control knobs allow for precise adjustment from a low simmer to a high boil. Turn clockwise for lower heat and counter-clockwise for higher heat.
3. Cooking Capacity: The stove is designed to accommodate one 10-inch (25.4 cm) pan and one 12-inch (30.48 cm) pan simultaneously.
4. Turning Off: To turn off a burner, rotate its control knob fully clockwise to the "OFF" position. Ensure the flame is extinguished.
