z If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by

qualified personnel.

Inadequate repairs can lead to considerable hazards.

z If the stove is not fitted with an accessible plug, all pole dis-

connection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

z Inform yourself how to power-off the circuit breaker or the fuse

in the event of an emergency.

2.2 Safety precautions when handling denatured

z Keep inflammable substances apart from heating and cooking

devices and other light and heat sources.

z Store alcohol in suitable containers only and in sufficient

distance from the stove.

z Eliminate all sources of sparks or flames where the alcohol is

stored or filled-in.

z Never fill the canisters while still in the stove. Never pour fuel

through the burner openings in top of the stove (fig. 1, page 2).

z Overfilling, spilt alcohol and hot objects can cause severe

z Denatured alcohol burns with almost invisible flame, so great

damage can arise before you notice the danger.

z Mop up any spilt alcohol immediately to prevent uncontrollable

z Do not smoke when handling alcohol or when operating the

z Fill the canister to the maximum capacity only. Alcohol expands

in the canister when heated. Overfilled alcohol can cause un-

controllable burning inside the stove.

2.3 Operating the device safely

z If the voltage of the built-in 12 V lighter is insufficient, use long

matches or long lighters to light the burner.

Quickly remove your hand as soon as the burner ignites.

z Wear proper clothing when operating the stove.

Do not wear hanging garments which can catch fire.

z Let the stove cool down to ambient temperature before you

touch it with bare hands.

z 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).

z 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.

z When cooking ensure that pans and pots are securely in posi-

tion. Recommended is the use of pot holders (fig. 2 2, page 2,

z 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 flamma-

ble materials and/or serious burns.

z Be careful when heating grease or oil. Grease and oil catch fire

when exposed to great heat.

z 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

z Never leave the stove unattended when cooking. Pots boiling

over can cause smoke and fires.

z Move the burner control (fig. 2 1, page 2) to the off position

before removing the pot.

z Do not use the stove to heat the environment.

z Dometic Origo C100 and C200 only: Never use alcohol and

electrical burners simultaneously to prevent overheating which

can destroy the heating element.

6 Technical description

The stove is made of stainless steel and uses the absorption principle. The

canister has a capacity of 1.2 l. Denatured alcohol is used as fuel. The burner

is ignited by a built-in 12 V lighter.

equipped with fuel valve or fuel lines, which can develop leaks, or with other

such components requiring regular service.

The Dometic ORIGO alcohol/electric stoves C100 and C200 are equipped

with a 1200 W (EU) or 1100 W (US) element. They can alternatively be

operated with alcohol or 120 V or 220–240 V.
