WARNING!

Safety instruction: Failure to observe this instruction can cause fatal or serious injury.

CAUTION!

Safety instruction: Failure to observe this instruction can lead to injury.

NOTICE!

Failure to observe this instruction can cause material damage and impair the function of the product.

NOTE

Supplementary information for operating the product.

2 General safety instructions

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

• Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and incorrect connection voltage
  • Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual

2.1 General safety

WARNING!

• Use denatured or soot free alcohol only. Do not use other fuels such as gasoline, diesel, methanol, propane or charcoal lighter.
  • Danger of asphyxiation!
  Before starting the device, ensure that the area is sufficiently ventilated.
• Place a class A fire extinguisher (for alcohol fires) in reaching distance. Ensure the fire extinguisher is regularly checked by qualified personnel.
• People (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capacities or whose lack of experience or knowledge prevent them from using this product safely should not use it without the supervision or instruction of a responsible person.

NOTICE!

- Use the stove only as intended.

2.2 Safety precautions when handling denatured alcohol

WARNING!

- Keep inflammable substances apart from heating and cooking devices and other light and heat sources.

- Store alcohol in suitable containers only and in sufficient distance from the stove.

• Eliminate all sources of sparks or flames where the alcohol is stored or filled-in.
• Never fill the canisters while still in the stove. Never pour fuel through the burner openings in top of the stove (fig. 1, page 3).
  • Overfilling, spilt alcohol and hot objects can cause severe burns.
• Denatured alcohol burns with almost invisible flame, so great damage can arise before you notice the danger.

NOTICE!

• Mop up any spilt alcohol immediately to prevent uncontrollable burning.
• Do not smoke when handling alcohol or when operating the stove.
• Fill the canister to the maximum capacity only. Alcohol expands in the canister when heated. Overfilled alcohol can cause uncontrollable burning inside the stove.

2.3 Operating the device safely

CAUTION!

• Use long matches or long lighters to light the burner. Quickly remove your hand as soon as the burner ignites.
• Wear proper clothing when operating the stove. Do not wear hanging garments which can catch fire.

NOTICE!

• Let the stove cool down to ambient temperature before you touch it with bare hands.
• Keep the area surrounding the stove and interior parts free of grease, fat, alcoholic substances, plastic or inflammable cloths (for instance curtains, towels, kitchen utensils).
• Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms and with a maximum diameter of 23 cm (9"). The pots and pans should be large enough to cover the heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper sized utensils will also improve efficiency.

• When cooking ensure that pans and pots are securely in position. Recommended is the use of pot holders (fig. 2 2, page 3, accessory).

• Never allow pot handles to extend beyond the edge of the stove. Turn pot handles inward, but not extending over other burners. This will minimize the possibility of spillage, ignition of flammable materials and/or serious burns.

• Be careful when heating grease or oil. Grease and oil catch fire when exposed to great heat.
• Use only dry pot cloths to prevent the formation of steam. Do not use towels or the like instead of pot cloths as these can catch fire.
• Only operate the device when you or another person can attend to it. Pots boiling over can cause smoke and fires.
• Move the burner control (fig. 2 1, page 3) to the off position before removing the pot.
  • D o not use the stove as a heater.

8 Using the stove

8.1 Filling-in denatured alcohol

WARNING!

Never pour fuel through the burner openings in top of the stove (fig. 1, page 3).

Overfilling, spilt alcohol and hot objects can cause severe burns.

▶Turn the control knob to the OFF position in order to close all burners.
▶ Ensure the stove is cooled down to room temperature.
▶ Open the stovetop (fig. 6, page 5).

Taking out the canister

In operating mode, the flexible catch (fig. 7 1, page 6) is locked in the cut-out on the safety lever (fig. 7 2, page 6).

▶ Push the catch (fig. 8 1, page 6) in the direction of the arrow and turn the lever (fig. 8 2, page 6) clockwise (fig. 9, page 6).
▶ When the catch (fig. 10 1, page 6) is vertical, push it in the direction of the arrow.

√The canister is released.

▶Take out the canister.

Filling with denatured alcohol

▶ Check canister opening ensuring there’s neither fire nor glow.
▶Make sure the canister is cool enough to be held in your bare hand before filling.
▶ Hold the canister tilted down (fig. 11, page 6).
▶Fill the denatured alcohol through the wire mesh into the opening of the canisters.
The maximum capacity per canister must not exceed 1.2 l.

▶ Check the fuel level by tilting the canister vertically (fig. 12, page 7). Keep it in this position for 20 s, to make sure it's not overfilled. In addition, in the case of accidental overfilling you can get rid of the surplus fuel.

√The maximum fuel level is reached when the fuel is visible at the bottom of the opening.

NOTE

The stove will operate even if the canister isn't filled with the maximum capacity.

▶Wipe possible spilt alcohol off the outside of the canister.

Inserting the canister

▶ Push the canister into the stove as far as it will go so that it is locked by the catch (fig. 13 1, page 7).
To secure the catch (fig. 14 1, page 7), push it in the direction of the arrow and simultaneously turn the safety lever (fig. 14 2, page 7) anti-clockwise until the catch (fig. 14 1, page 7) is engaged.
