CONNECT STOVE TO GAS CANISTER
1. Hold onto the canister fuel adaptor and screw the canister
counterclockwise tightly. Tighten by hand only and be
careful not to damage the threads when you connect the
gas canister.
2. Always keep the gas canister/cylinder in upright position
while connecting to the stove. The stove is designed to run
on vapour pressure only.
3. Always ensure that the stove is placed on a firm horizontal
surface before using it.
4. Allow plenty of free space around the stove, at least 1.25m
(4ft) on each side and 1.5m (4.5ft) above it.
NOTE: Optional use of 20 lbs (9 kg) propane gas tank (US,
CA only): the stove has a pressure regulator built into the
housing. It needs to be connected with a certified high
pressure hose directly to the tank without an exterior pressure
regulator. Otherwise the flame will be too low.
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.
• Do not use stove if damaged or if it does not operate
properly.
• Never over-tighten fuel canister when connected to stove.
Overtightening can damage stove or canister causing fuel
to leak.
• Use extreme caution when using stove in temperatures
below freezing. In freezing temperatures, O-rings can
stiffen and leak fuel (see General Safety Information).
• Always check for fuel leaks before and after lighting the
stove.
• Keep highly flammable fabrics away from stove, such as
outdoor clothing, sleeping bags, tents etc.
