Remove packed contents from bag (10). *Note that Strainer Lid (1.2), 5L Flux Pot (1.3) and 10” Fry Pan 
(1.5) are included only with the Genesis Stove System or sold separately as accessories. Place latched 
Stove (2) on a flat, level surface, and then gently pull rubber latches (2.1) free from plastic catches (2.2). 
Rotate the Top Stove (2.3) to open stove. Latches may be rotated under the Bottom Stove (2.4) if desired. 
Ensure that both control valves (3.1) are closed firmly (rotate clockwise). Check the seals (O-ring (4.1)) 
between the appliance and the gas container (cartridge). Do not use the appliance if it has damaged or 
worn seals. Do not use an appliance which is leaking, damaged, or which does not operate properly. 
Securely screw Fuel Regulator (4.1) to the Fuel Input port (4.2) located on the back of the Left Stove. 
Securely screw Propane Cylinder (4.3) into Fuel Regulator, in the orientation shown in (4). Never operate 
stove with Propane Cylinder in an inverted position. To attach Windscreen (1.4), press Windscreen arms 
into slots in four Bumpers (5.1) located on the back and sides of stove until the dimple (5.2) snaps into 
place inside each Bumper. Prior to initial use, remove plastic backing on both sides of Windscreen.

OPERATION WARNINGS

Do not leave stove unattended while in use. Keep stove area clear and free from combustible materials, 
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.  Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation 
air to the stove. Check the seals before connecting a new gas container to the appliance. 

The gas 

container/canister shall be changed in a well ventilated location, preferably outside, away 
from any sources of ignition, such as naked flames, pilots, electric fires, and away from 
other people.

 If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), take it outside immediately into a well 

ventilated, flame free location where the leak may be detected and stopped. If you wish to check for leaks 
on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame, use soapy water. Put some 
soapy water on the gas connection points between gas cansister and the appliance, if bubble found, 
there is gas leakage. DO NOT fry or cook foods with low moisture content when using Jetboil 5L Flux Pot 
(1.3). If heating liquids near maximum capacity, use only low flame settings and exercise caution to 
prevent boil-over. Ensure a 1” minimum gap between Windscreen and any cookware used when 
Windscreen is attached. Use only windscreen provided with stove. Other windscreens can overheat the 
fuel cylinder. If you overheat the cylinder, it can explode.  

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ignite burners before placing cookware on grates.

 Keep burner at arm’s length, away from face, 

during ignition. Flame can erupt and flare during ignition. Never expose stove to flammable vapors or 
liquids while lighting the burner. 

It can cause an explosion or fire.

 The stove must not be exposed to 

flammable vapors or liquids during lighting. 

Lighting the Burners: 

Test igniter (3.2) before opening valve. If a spark is not observed between 

Electrode (3.3) and Burner (3.4), refer to maintenance section. To light, open control valve (3.1) 
counterclockwise until fully opened and gas flow can be heard, then flip igniter lever (3.2) until flame is 
observed. Do not move, lift, or tilt burner while lit. Fuel can spray and cause flare-ups.

maximize heating performance. 

Expanding your cooking system:

 This stove comes equipped with a Patent-Pending JetLink™ fuel 

output port (1.6, 5.3), which provides regulated fuel to additional JetLink™-compatible stoves and 
accessories offered by Eureka! or Jetboil. The port is located on the side of the Right Stove. Refer to 
instructions accompanying JetLink™ accessories for their use. Do not attempt to use stoves or 
accessories that are not certified as JetLink™-compatible by Eureka! or Jetboil.
