8. We recommend using the windscreen for optimal results. Make sure that the gas canister /
fuel bottle is placed outside the windscreen. Adjust windscreen to pot diameter and allow
a gap of 2.5 cm (1 inch) between pot and windscreen for sucient air intake. Always place
the windscreen carefully AFTER the stove is lit.
OPERATION OF THE OPTIMUS POLARIS
WITH GAS CANISTERS
1. CONNECT STOVE TO GAS CANISTER
1. Hold onto the fuel connector of the stove and screw the canister counterclockwise tightly.
Tighten by hand only and be careful not to damage the threads when you connect the gas
canister.
FIGURE [4]
2. Always keep the gas canister in upright position while connecting to the stove. FIGURE [4]
3. Make sure the stove and canister are in a stable horizontal position so they do not tip over.
WARNING
Risk of burning or serious injuries due to gas leakage hazard.
• Never light the stove if you detect a hissing sound or the smell of gas after tightening the
canister to the stove. The gas has an additive with a foul smell. Never use a stove that
smells of gas.
• Never overtighten the fuel canister when connecting it to the stove. Overtightening can
damage stove or canister causing fuel to leak.
2. USE THE STOVE TO COOK
1. Always light your stove with the canister in upright position (vaporized gas mode) to avoid
large flare ups.
2. Open the control valve approximately one turn counterclockwise and bring a powerlighter
(blue flame); e.g. Optimus Burny close to the top of the burner to light it.
FIGURE [5] When
using a match or a normal lighter (yellow flame) it is easier to light up the stove from the
side via one of the holes in the cup.
FIGURE [11] The flame ring should be complete, mostly
blue and non-pulsating in normal operation.
3. Adjust the control valve to get the flame you want.
