Precautions for Use
Do not use if there is a gas leak, if the equipment has been impacted, or if it is not working properly.
1. Do not use for any purpose other than cooking.
2. The stove and all of its parts become extremely hot during
use. Be careful of burns.
3. Confirm that there is no dirt or dust on the fuel canister or
connector before use. Keep the connector clean at all times,
and do not inadvertently place it on the ground, etc. If dirt or
dust gets into the connector, this could cause the connector or
tube to clog, resulting in gas output being reduced or
prevented.
4. Please try to select a pot with a diameter around 23cm. If
you are using a large pot or a cooking tray, always set the
trivets to the high position.
An overly large pot may be unstable and fall off the stove.
Only use the designated cooking tray.
5. The gas pressure will change depending on the temperature
of the atmosphere and the temperature of the fuel canister,
altering the combustion conditions (flame state, output, etc.).
6. Vaporization heat during upright use in low temperatures
can cause fuel canisters to cool down, decreasing heating
power.
7. If the GP-500S (silver canister) is used upright, the
characteristics of the blended gas make it impossible to
achieve sufficient heat below 20°. If you expect to be in low-
temperature environments, please use the GP-500G (gold
canister) instead.
8. Strong wind and boil-over can cause the flame to extinguish.
Maintain a close watch on the stove at all times during use.
9. If abnormal combustion occurs, promptly extinguish the
flame and discontinue use.
10. Any metal parts that flames touch or are near will heat up
and discolor.
11. Always ensure the heat adjustment knobs are off when the
fuel canister is attached to prevent a gas leak.
12. If you smell gas, promptly extinguish the flame. After
confirming that the stove is completely extinguished, remove
the fuel canister. Do not reignite.
13. Gas has a heavy specific gravity, and tends to accumulate
in low-lying areas. In the unlikely event that a gas leak occurs,
do not use until the area has been sufficiently ventilated.
14. Remove the fuel canister when the stove is not being used.
15. If the igniters are not discharging, ignition will not be
possible with them. Use a long lighter, etc. instead.
16. The amount of fuel in the canister and external factors (low
temperature, strong wind, temperature, high altitude, etc.) can
prevent ignition with the auto-igniters. Always bring a non-
electric (piezoelectric) lighter or matches, just in case.
Inspection and Care
1. Regularly inspect and care for your equipment.
2. Ensure that fuel canisters are working normally before use.
3. If a boil-over occurs, always clean the burner with a cloth,
etc.
4. Do not use if you suspect a malfunction or damage.
5. It is dangerous to perform your own repairs. In the unlikely
event that you cannot use the equipment normally, consult the
store where you purchased this product or Snow Peak.
