level the surface is.
X. ADJUSTING BURN TIME
You can extend the burn time and flame height of the fire. Experiment with different settings
by slowly moving the snuffer forward as you would when you want to extinguish the flame (see
Section IX Step #4), but do not cover the burner completely, or the fire will be extinguished. By
moving the snuffer partially over the burner, the burn time will be extended. For maximum flame
height and minimum burn time, push the snuffer all the way to the back.
XI. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Extinguish the appliance and let it cool at least 30 minutes before cleaning.
CAUTION: Periodic cleaning is necessary to ensure proper functioning of this appliance. The

operation. Wait at least 30 minutes after the flames have died out before cleaning the appliance.
2. Metal components of the appliance should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild dish
detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal.
3. Lift out the piercer and clean underneath.
