The manufacturer of the stove includes an owner's manual with the
appliance. Read it carefully and make sure that everyone who uses the
stove understands its operation. Remember alcohol fires can be

must be extinguished by smothering or with Type B extinguishers.
The following precautions refer to all types of stoves. Refer to the
owner's manual for specific instructions.
