Proper Electrode Positioning
Remove Packed Contents from Bag (10). Place latched Stove (2) on a flat, level surface, and then
gently pull the two rubber latches (2.1) free from latch hub (2.2). Remove the 9” FryPan (1.2) and
set to the side. Ensure that the control valve (3.1) is closed firmly (rotate clockwise). Securely
screw Fuel Regulator (4.1) to the Fuel Input port (4.2) located on the back left of the 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 (1.3), align the
large opening in the Windscreen arms over the three Feet (5.1) located on the bottom of the stove,
and pull outward until the smaller opening (5.2) slides into the slots (5.3) on each of the three Feet.
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 bubbles are found, there is gas leakage. DO NOT fry or cook foods
with low moisture content when using Jetboil 5L Flux Pot (sold separately). 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 Burner: 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.
Cooking: Rotate control valve (3.1) clockwise to decrease flame setting. If using Jetboil 5L Flux Pot
(sold separately), add liquid or liquid food to the pot before placing on burner - DO NOT HEAT
EMPTY COOKING POT. Set 5L Flux Pot on center of cooking grate, bottom of the pot will center
on the grate to maximize heating performance.
Expanding your cooking system: This stove comes equipped with a Patent-Pending JetLink™
fuel output port (3.5), 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 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.
Cleaning Stove: Allow stove to cool before cleaning. Pinch tabs of Cooking Grate (6.1) together to
release from Drip Tray (6.2) and Chassis (6.3). Lift up this end of Grate, and pull Tab (7) from under
Drip Tray and Chassis. Set Grate aside. Un-screw Burner (8) by rotating counter-clockwise, taking
caution not to bend the Electrode (3.3). Drip Tray (9) is now free to remove from Chassis.
Cleaning Grate / Drip Tray / 9” Fry Pan:
Do not use a dishwasher or abrasive compounds to
clean. Only wash by hand with soapy water.
STORAGE AFTER USE
Turn off control valve (3.1) (tighten clockwise) to extinguish flame to burner. EXPOSED METAL
PARTS MAY BE HOT. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE BURNER IS EXTINGUISHED BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE FUEL CYLINDER. Disconnect Fuel Cylinder and then Fuel Regulator.
Allow stove to cool, and store all components in Carry bag as shown (10). Always disconnect fuel
cylinder from Regulator after use. Fuel cylinders can explode. Store fuel cylinders outdoors in a
dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, and out of reach of children.
