because of the risk of danger from an open flame, always take the
necessary safety precautions. The burner slide is adjustable. The
oxygen supply and the flame height can be adjusted by moving the
burner slide in relation to the air holes of the burner slide guide in the
boiler housing. Before adding new fuel tablets, always check the water
level and refill the boiler with water to ensure that the boiler does not
run dry. The portion of fuel tablets to the quantity of water in the boiler
is designed so that the boiler cannot run dry without any added fuel
tablets. The burner slide must be completely pushed in. Important:
After the heating process, remove the burner slide from the guide
whilst it is still hot, otherwise not burnt fuel may cause the slide to
stick. If the slide is stuck, it can be removed by tilting it slightly to the
left or right.
Caution: dry fuel tablets require a lot of oxygen to
burn properly. That is the reason why, for an indoors
use, the room should be well ventilated.
To prevent unpleasant smells, the fuel tablets should be burnt out -
they should not be blown out. If there is not enough water in the boiler,
place the burner slide on a fireproofed surface until the tablets have
burned out completely.

When steam can be seen turn the flywheel by hand to let the
condensation in the pipes and the cylinder escape. Then the steam
engine will start to operate.
6.
After the use of the steam engine and its cooling, the engine should be
serviced. Pour out any water left in the boiler. For this, unscrew the
spring loaded safety valve and take off all of the loose parts before
tipping over the engine. Be very careful if the water is still hot! Water
left in the boiler cannot do any damage but might leave sediment on
the sight glass. Any lime formation on the sight glass or in the boiler
should not be removed by using vinegar or corrosive agent (advise: use
a lime dissolving agent which does not attack the brass and the solder).
The building of soot on the lower side of the boiler does not influence
the function and can be removed with a brush. Finally, dry the model
using a clean piece of cloth.
