Always disconnect stove from fuel canister before storing. Failure to disconnect
stove from canister before storing may cause fuel to leak and cause fire, burns,
severe injury or death. Always store fuel canisters in a well-ventilated location
away from any possible heat or ignition source, such as water heaters, stoves,
pilot lights, or furnaces, or where temperatures exceed 120 F (49 C). Storing fuel
canisters near any heat or ignition source or in temperatures exceeding 120 F
(49 C) can result in the canister exploding and causing fire, burns, severe injury
or death.
Always disconnect stove from the pot before drinking or pouring out its contents.
Tipping over an ignited stove while it is still connected to its cookpot can cause
flares, which may result in fire, burns, severe injury or death.
*To check if fuel canister is empty, remove stove and gently shake canister.
If a splashing sound is heard, canister still contains fuel.

DANGER
Never overtighten stove onto canister. Overtightening may damage stove or fuel
canister, causing fuel to leak. Leaking fuel can cause fire, burns, severe injury
or death.
Use extreme caution when using stove in temperatures below freezing. In freezing
temperatures O-rings can stiffen and leak fuel. Always check for fuel leaks before
and after lighting stove.
Keep children away from stove and fuel. Cascade Designs, Inc. recommends no
less than 10 feet (~ 3 meters). Never leave a burning or hot stove unattended. An
unattended stove can lead to fire and/or a situation where children, pets, or the
unwary can be burned, injured, or killed.
Carefully follow all instructions when attempting to light stove. This stove contains
a device designed to protect the user against misuse. If stove is misused, the
device will be temporarily activated. Shut stove off until it cools to a safe tempera-
ture. See
Thermal Trip Mechanism.
Never attempt to light stove near the Flame
Adjuster or with cookware in place. Attempting to light stove other than specified
may cause stove to overheat, creating a situation where fire, burns, severe injury
or death can result. If stove becomes inoperable, immediately discontinue use and
return stove to an authorized MSR dealer.
Never place your head or body above stove while lighting or cooking. Placement
of head or body above stove is an unsafe practice that can cause fire, burns,
severe injury or death.
Never move a burning or hot stove. Always extinguish stove and cool for at least
5 minutes before moving. Moving a burning or hot stove can cause fire, burns,
severe injury or death. Never place and operate two or more stoves together.
Never operate stove with empty or dry cookware. Never use non-WindBurner
cookware, reflectors, or diffusers. Misuse of stove can result in the fuel canister
exploding and causing fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Keep combustibles at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from the top and sides of a
burning stove, or a stove that you are in the process of lighting. Keep flammable
liquids and vapors at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) away from the top and sides of
a burning stove, or a stove that you are in the process of lighting. This stove can
ignite nearby combustible materials, flammable liquid and vapors, creating a
situation where fire, burns, severe injury, or death can result.
Never attempt to light stove if Flame Adjuster is left open. If Flame Adjuster is left
open, close it immediately and thoroughly ventilate area before lighting stove.
Failure to ventilate area can result in an explosion that can cause fire, burns,
severe injury, or death.
