Safety Information

Your safety is paramount. Always follow these guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

General Safety Precautions:

• Use outdoors only in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from flammable materials, liquids, and vapors.
• Do not leave the stove unattended while in operation.
• Keep children and pets away from the stove.
• Ensure the stove is on a stable, level surface before use.
• Allow the stove to cool completely before handling or storing.

Fuel Safety:

• Use only 8oz butane canisters or 16.4oz propane cylinders with the provided adapter.
• Always connect and disconnect fuel canisters in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources.
• Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution before ignition. Do not use if a leak is detected.
• Critical Safety Step: Always disconnect the fuel canister after use. Then, briefly re-ignite the stove to burn off any residual gas left in the hose. This prevents gas buildup during storage.

Over Pressure Protection Device:

This stove features an integrated pressure-sensor cartridge ejection system and automatic gas flow cut-off. If irregular flow or pressure is detected, the butane fuel canister will be ejected to prevent hazards.
