Keep the LP gas cartridge (3) upright when connecting it to
the valve.
4.3
Connect the valve to the LP gas cartridge carefully. Make
sure the screws are not cross-threaded. Tighten until the
O-ring of the valve meets the LP gas cartridge. Only tighten
by hand.
4.4
Ensure that the connection is leak-proof. Check for any leaks
outdoors. Use soapy water or similar. Never use a naked
flame when checking for leaks. If using soapy water, any
leak will show itself as small bubbles at the point of leakage.
If you are unsure, or can hear or smell gas, never light the

local Primus retailer.
4.5
Snap the burner and cup (4) into place in the windshield.

burner immediately by pressing the ignition button (8). Adjust
the flame by turning the burner valve (2).

When the stove is burning it should be kept as level as
possible and must not be moved around. Moving the
stove while in use can cause it to flare up.

turning the valve knob clockwise as far as it will go. There
will be some delay between turning the valve off and the
burner going out.
5.5
The distance to inflammable material in ceiling and walls
must be at least 500 mm, OTHERWISE they can catch
fire.
5.6 If the stove is being used in heavy wind, it should be
situated such that the burner’s air intake is turned to face
into the wind.
5.7 If you are preparing several dishes, or if you want to pick
up the pot right after cooking, the insulated storage bag
works great as a potholder or to keep the pot warm until
you are ready to eat.
ADVICE! The use of LP gas in cold weather is affected
by a number of factors which can be remedied with a
number of measures.
Factors that affect the efficiency of the stove:
-
The mixture of gas in the LP gas cartridge (propane/
isobutane/butane)
-
The quantity of LP gas in the cartridge
-
The surrounding temperature
-
The temperature of the LP gas cartridge
Measures which improve function during cold weather:
-
Warm the LP gas cartridge with your hands or under
clothing.
