However, if you pump up too high a pressure, the fuel flow will be too great, resulting in an
inecient yellow flame.
WARNING
Risk of burning or serious injuries due to fuel leakage hazard.
Check visually for any fuel leakage after having opened the fuel feed valve. Never light a
stove that is leaking fuel.
5. PREHEAT STOVE
Risk of burning or serious injuries due to fuel leakage hazard.
1. Start by opening the control valve for two seconds to release fuel, then close the control
valve. It is dicult to see how much fuel has run out onto the wick, but as time goes by
you will get a feel for this. Proceed with caution as you familiarize yourself with your stove.
2. Light the fuel at the wick using a match or a lighter. The wick is the white pad in the
bottom of the cup. This is accessed from the side via one of the holes in the cup.

3. If the stove cannot be lit, you might not have released enough fuel. If this is the case,
repeat the preheating process.
4. The fuel will burn with a yellow, flaring flame and heat the burner. Wait a short time until
the fuel has almost burned out and the flame has become small.
5. The preheating time varies depending on what type of fuel you are using. For example,
white gas is vaporized more readily than kerosene and requires less preheating.
6. Preheating takes longer when it is cold and if the stove is not protected from the wind.
DANGER
Risk of burning or serious injuries due to flare-up hazard when preheating the stove
with liquid fuel
• Never attempt to light a stove if the control valve is left open. Leaving the control valve
open while lighting can result in a large flame that can cause serious injury, possible death
and property damage.
• Never preheat your stove in an enclosed space and remove all combustible and flammable
material from the area beforehand.
