Open the control valve again and
adjust the fl ame until it turns blue
and there is a hissing sound.
Once the preheating fl ames are almost out, open the control
valve again by about a quarter turn. If the burner is hot enough,
the fuel will vaporize and be ignited by the preheating fl ame. The
fl ame should then turn bluish and hiss gently after a short time. If
the vaporized fuel does not ignite, light it carefully with a match.
A yellow, fl aring fl ame means that the burner is not hot enough
or that you have opened the control valve too far. Start off by
closing the control a little. If the fl ame does not turn blue after
10-15 seconds, the burner is not hot enough and you have to preheat the stove for a little longer. In
this case, close the control valve one more time, wait until the fl ames are almost out and then open
the control valve again.
When the stove is burning as it should, you can gradually open the control valve and make it hotter.
Maximum heat is attained when the control valve has been opened by about two turns. If you open
it by more than two turns, you will use up more fuel without making the stove any hotter. If the fl ame
fl ares up and turns yellow, turn down the control slightly and wait until the fl ame has turned blue
again.
The burner is designed to burn best and give maximum heat with a pan in place.
Once the stove has been burning for a while, it may be a good idea to pump a couple of times in
order to maintain pressure in the bottle. Too little pressure in the bottle will result in poor perfor-
mance. Too much pressure will also lead to poor performance and a yellow, fl aring fl ame. With a little
practice, you will learn how often and how much to pump in order to maintain an effective fl ame.
WARNING! Never move a hot stove or a stove that is in use.

Shut off the stove by turning
the bottle to OFF position.
If you want to avoid annoying fuel spills when you
dismantle and transport the stove, shut it off by tur-
ning the fuel bottle to OFF position. OFF will then be
visible from above on the pump. The fuel in the hose
will now burn up and the remaining pressure in the
