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 re 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 ame 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 ame control cap completely over
the burner ports. The air deector assembly is equipped with an interlock. If the control
cap is not over the burner ports, the deector can not be removed to access the ll cap.
4. Carefully rotate electric element assembly up and remove the air deector assembly to
access the ll 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 ame is invisible in sunlight. If the stove has been operated
recently, be particularly careful to make sure that all burner ames are extinguished and
the burner is cool. DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED AND THE
BURNER HAS COOLED.
6. Remove the ll cap and ll 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 overlling. Do not attempt to ll 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 ood. A ooded 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 ll bottle is supplied. Using the supplied ll bottle each time
will prevent overlling since the ll bottle’s volume is the same size as burner’s storage
tank.
7. Replace the ll cap, making sure the rubber washer (gasket) is in place and that the ll cap
is securely tightened.
8. Wipe any alcohol spills and replace the air deector 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.
