by releasing the bayonet joint and then pull the hose
out of the quick connect. Sometimes there may be a
little pressure remaining in the bottle which seeps out
when you disconnect the quick connect. The same is
true when you unscrew the pump from the bottle. Turn

EN - HOW YOUR STOVE WORKS / FUELS
The Optimus Nova has a burner designed to use petroleum-based fuels. Therefore, you cannot use
alcohol-based fuel. We recommend that you use chemically pure gasoline (not automotive gasoline)

Use a funnel with a filter when filling the bottle so as to avoid dirt and foreign bodies getting into the
fuel. Never mix different kinds of fuel. Empty the bottle entirely before putting in a different fuel.

Kerosene has more or less the same energy value as gasoline but is considerably less of a hazard
in terms of fire. It is used all over the world and is easy to get hold of. You can often find kerosene in
