LOCATION & COUNTER-TOP PREPARATION
The stove must be located in an area with adequate ventilation for occupants’ safety and efficient stove
operation. It should be installed with adequate clearances between the stove top and all surrounding
surfaces (i.e. curtains, cabinets, etc) in order to minimize heat transfer to these surfaces. Also fire
resistant materials should be attached to any surrounding surfaces, especially overhead.
Once a location for the stove has been chosen, it is important to check clearances underneath the
counter for the bottom portion of the stove and its moving parts. The stove extends about 6 inches (152
mm) below the countertop. If drawers or cabinets are located under the stove, a rigid barrier must be
installed to prevent combustible items, (i.e. rags, paper, etc.) from coming in contact with the hot stove.
The barrier must be ventilated.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the stove must be provided to ensure proper operation of the
stove. Heat transferred from the cook top bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly
ventilated area.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER CLEARANCES AND VENTILATION MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
HAZARD.

INSTALLATION
Once the cutout has been prepared as shown above, pre-fit the stove into the cutout to mark drill
locations. Tilt and insert the front portion of the stove first. Care should be exercised so as not to
damage or bend any moving parts. Next, lower the stove into the cut out. Using a pencil mark the
location of mounting holes onto the counter. Carefully remove the stove from the cutout. Using a 1/8"
drill and the pencil marks as a guide, drill four (4) mounting holes. Replace the stove into the counter.
Mount the stove in place by using (4) #8 x 5/8" oval head stainless steel wood screws.

ALCOHOL BURNER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to operate the stove, please read the theory and operating instructions carefully and
become thoroughly familiar with the various parts of the stove and how they operate. An internal parts
diagram has been provided below to illustrate burner functions and characteristics under normal
operating conditions.
Theory
This patented burner system incorporates an internal tank in the burner assembly that does not require
any external pressurization. This burner system uses ethyl alcohol. The “center chimney” contains a
fiber wick, which is lit to start the burner. The flame from the wick, vaporizing and pressurizing the alcohol
inside rapidly heats a separate surrounding chamber, within the burner. A ring of holes (burner jets) in
the top of this vaporization chamber allows the escape of the alcohol vapor which is ignited by the central
flame. The central flame then diminishes and the burner functions in the normal manner.

Operating Components
A Fill Cap is located on each burner with a rubber washer (gasket) underneath each fill cap. Be sure the
washer is in place and the fill cap is reasonably tight when operating the stove. If either are lost or
damaged replace at once. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT A CAP OR
WITH ANY NON COMPATIBLE REPLACEMENT. The alcohol burner control wheel(s) are located in the
front flange of the stove. The purpose of the control wheel is to regulate the burner flame. With the
control wheel positioned to the extreme right, the flame control cap (snuffer) will completely cover the
burner ports (jets). With the control wheel positioned to the extreme left, the burner ports will be
completely exposed. Other variations of the control wheel position will allow for flame adjustment
between maximum and minimum heat output.
Alcohol Burner Fueling Instructions
1. The burners are designed exclusively for denatured ethyl alcohol which is readily available as
"alcohol stove fuel" at marine stores. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER FUEL AS FIRE OR
EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. A Denatured ethyl alcohol fire is readily extinguished by water, or by
smothering it with a non-combustible material.
2. Before attempting to fuel the stove, be sure that the burners are not in operation and that all flame
and other sources of ignition in the galley area are extinguished. Make sure the stove is cool before
fueling.
3. The alcohol control wheel(s) located in the front of the appliance must be in the off position (rotate
completely to the right) which places the flame control cap completely over the burner ports. The air
deflector assembly is equipped with an interlock. If the control cap is not over the burner ports, the
deflector can not be removed to access the fill cap.
4. Carefully rotate electric element assembly up and remove the air deflector assembly to access the fill
cap. If the electric element was operated recently, DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL THE ELEMENT HAS
COOLED. Failure to do so could result in severe burns or injury.
5. Be aware that an alcohol flame is invisible in sunlight. If the stove has been operated recently, be
particularly careful to make sure that all burner flames are extinguished and the burner is cool. DO
NOT PROCEED UNTIL FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED AND THE BURNER HAS COOLED.
6. Remove the fill cap and fill the burner(s) slowly with denatured ethyl alcohol, six (6) ounces only. The
burner fuel storage tank is designed to readily accept the proper amount of fuel and discourage
overfilling. Do not attempt to fill with more fuel that can be readily poured in. Six (6) ounces will be
enough to moisten the primary wick and provide the ideal conditions for proper function of the alcohol
burner. More than six ounces may cause the chimney to flood. A flooded chimney will cool the
surrounding chamber and the burner will not operate as intended. (Refer to theory of Operation)
With this stove, a six ounce fill bottle is supplied. Using the supplied fill bottle each time will prevent
overfilling since the fill bottle's volume is the same size as burner's storage tank.
7. Replace the fill cap, making sure the rubber washer (gasket) is in place and that the fill cap is
securely tightened.
8. Wipe any alcohol spills and replace the air deflector assembly into the pan and return the electric
element back into place. Note that the electric element serves as a grate when using the alcohol
burner to cook.

To disengage lid from the lock position, fully extend
(rotate lid back) lid back and gently lift “lid-stay” up
as shown to disengage from the lock position.
Once the “lid-stay” is in the unlock position, the lid
can be lowered to the close position.
Alcohol Burner Operating Instructions
1. Completely open the flame control cap by rotating the control wheel to the left.
2. Ignite the small fiber wick located in the center chimney. A match may be used or a Bar-B-Que grill-
igniting wand is ideal. Do not leave matches in the center chimney; they will inhibit the efficiency of
the burner.
3. Allow for approximately two to five minutes for flames to appear in the burner jets (see theory of
operation) Cooking may be initiated immediately after ignition of the center chimney. This will not
effect the preheating of the main burner and automatic switch over to normal full operation.
CLOSING THE GLASS LID
If your KENYON
®
stove is equipped with a glass lid, care should be followed when lowering the lid onto
the stove. NEVER CLOSE THE LID ON AN OPEN FLAME OR AN ELECTRIC ELEMENT THAT IS
HOT OR TURNED “ON”. Make sure that the appliance is cool before lowering the glass lid onto the
frame.
When the lid is in an open position, the “lid-stay” arm that is attached to the glass “locks” onto the large
lock screw. In order to lower the glass lid onto the stove frame, the “lid-stay” must be unlocked from the
mounting screw. DO NOT TRY TO LOWER THE LID WITH THE “LID-STAY” IN THE LOCK
POSITION. FAILURE TO UNLOCK THE “LID-STAY” WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOWER THE GLASS
LID CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Gently lift “lid-stay” up as shown to
disengage “lid-stay” from lock position.
Carefully lower the glass lid once “lid-stay”
is disengaged from the lock position.
