ALCOHOL OPERATION
READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
The cooking surface and control areas of your Alcohol Electric cooktop are identified by
coil burner(s) in the cooktop. The appliance is easy to maintain and easy to clean.
Keeping the cooktop in top performance can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for
use and cleaning below:
ALCOHOL BURNER
Before attempting to operate the stove, please read the theory and operating instructions
carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the various parts of the stove and how they
operate. An internal parts diagram has been provided below to illustrate burner functions and
characteristics under normal operating conditions.
Theory
This patented burner system incorporates an internal tank in the burner assembly that does not
require any external pressurization. This burner system uses ethyl alcohol. The “center
chimney” contains a fiber wick, which is lit to start the burner. The flame from the wick,
vaporizing and pressurizing the alcohol inside rapidly heats a separate surrounding chamber,
within the burner. A ring of holes (burner jets) in the top of this vaporization chamber allows the
escape of the alcohol vapor which is ignited by the central flame. The central flame then
diminishes and the burner functions in the normal manner.
ALCOHOL OPERATING COMPONENTS
A Fill Cap is located on each burner with a rubber washer (gasket) underneath each fill cap. Be
sure the washer is in place and the fill cap is reasonably tight when operating the stove. If either
are lost or damaged replace at once.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE BURNER
WITHOUT A CAP OR WITH ANY NON COMPATIBLE REPLACEMENT
. The alcohol burner
control wheel(s) are located in the front flange of the stove. The purpose of the control wheel is
to regulate the burner flame. With the control wheel positioned to the extreme right, the flame
control cap (snuffer) will completely cover the burner ports (jets). With the control wheel
positioned to the extreme left, the burner ports will be completely exposed. Other variations of
the control wheel position will allow for flame adjustment between maximum and minimum heat
output.
