where temperatures exceed 50° C (120° F) can result in the

Never move a burning or hot stove. Allow stove to cool for at 
least 10 minutes before moving it.
Never transport or store the stove with the gas canister 
connected to it.
Always store gas canisters in a well-ventilated area away from 
any possible heat or ignition source such as: water heaters, 
stoves, pilot lights, furnaces or where temperatures exceed 
50°C (120°F).

 

MAINTENANCE

Before each use, check the O-ring where the stove connects to 
the gas canister. 

FIGURE [1] 

Leakage may result if the O-ring is 

not in place, or if it is worn or damaged. Replace the O-ring by 
teasing it out with a tool such as the blunt end of a sewing 
needle. Never use a sharp or pointed object that can damage 
the seal surfaces. Fit the new O-ring with care to avoid 
damaging it. Only use original Optimus O-rings (Art. Nr. 
8017867) for this purpose. Do not modify the stove. Only 
qualified individuals are allowed to do additional service. For 
major repairs send stove back to Optimus.
