Spilled alcohol can damage some surfaces such as wood, paint or leather. By following the above
instructions you are minimizing the possibility of damage.
•
Do not overfill the burner. As you pour the fuel, it will be absorbed through the baffle. When no more
fuel is being absorbed, it will begin to pool in the filling reservoir. At this point you will know the
burner is full. The burner does not need to be completely full to the top for proper use, but you will
get the best results when it is full.
•
If you accidentally overfill the burner, pour the excess fuel back into the measuring cup and then
transfer it back to the fuel bottle.
Lighting the Burner
•
The burner is ready to light once it has been filled with alcohol.
•
Use a long lighter that is at least 8 inches in length to light the burner, lighting the nipple area in the
center of the fuel reservoir.
•
Never position your hand over the fuel reservoir and do not stand over the burner while lighting.
Always light the burner from the side and never have body parts over the burner.
•
Never blow air directly into the flame at any point during the burning process – to do so is a burn
hazard.
•
Never add alcohol to an open flame – to do so creates an explosion hazard. Wait at least 15 minutes
after the flame has been extinguished before adding more fuel.
