 WARNING

Risk of burning or serious injuries due to gas leakage 
hazard.

•  Never light the stove if you detect a hissing sound or the 

smell of gas after tightening the canister. The gas has an 
additive with a foul smell. Never use a stove that smells of 
gas. 

•  Do not use stove if damaged or if it does not operate 

properly.

•  Never over-tighten gas canister when connected to the 

stove. Overtightening can damage stove or canister 
causing gas to leak.

•  Use extreme caution when using stove in temperatures 

below freezing. In freezing temperatures, O-rings can stiffen 
and leak gas.

•  Always check for gas leaks before and after lighting the 

stove.

•  Keep children more than 3+ meters (10 feet) away from 

stove and fuel.

•  Keep highly flammable fabrics away from stove, such as 

outdoor clothing, sleeping bags, tents etc.

•  Never leave a burning or hot stove unattended.
•  When a canister change is necessary, please follow steps 

1-4 of this manual carefully.

USE THE STOVE TO COOK

1. 

Open the control valve approximately one turn counter-
clockwise and light the burner. 

FIGURE [5]

 Check that the 

flame ring is complete and that the flame is mostly blue and 
non-pulsating in normal operation. 

2.

  Adjust the control valve to get the flame you want.

3.

  If the output is weak, it could mean that the gas is running 

out, or that the canister is too cold. Turn off the stove and 
let it cool down. Make sure there is no open flame nearby 
when changing the gas canister. 

4.

  Accessible parts may become very hot. Keep out of reach 

of children, people with diminished mental capacity and 
pets.
