4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Lighting the Burners

1. Ensure the stove is on a stable, level surface and all gas connections are secure.
2. Slowly open the valve on the propane tank.
3. Push in and turn the desired burner knob counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. You should hear a clicking sound from the auto-ignition.
4. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the process.
5. First Use Note: During the first use, it may take several attempts (up to 7 or more ignitions) for the burner to light, as air needs to be purged from the gas hose.

4.2 Adjusting the Flame

Once lit, rotate the burner knob to adjust the flame intensity from HIGH to LOW as needed for cooking.

4.3 Turning Off the Stove

1. Turn all burner knobs to the OFF position.
2. Close the valve on the propane tank.
