During use, the tanks are heated, and the fuel requires space to expand. It is therefore
important to avoid overfilling the tanks.
The tank openings are recessed to facilitate filling. Hold the tank as shown in photo 2, with
the recess pointing down, and pour the fuel directly into the opening covered by the wire
mesh. Check quantity by raising to vertical. When fuel is visible in recess, do not fill more
(photo 3). After filling, make certain no excess fuel remains in stove. Always wipe tanks dry.
Place tanks in stove. Check that they fit properly in mountings. Close the stove up.

Closing: Knobs in 0 position! Fold down the stove top, the catch will lock. (Make certain
that the regulating plates cover the burner openings so that stove top is level.)
TO LIGHT (PHOTO 4)
Turn regulator knob counter-clockwise to open burner. Place a lighted match at burner
opening. (Match can be dropped in and removed at next filling.)
If the stove is warm (from previous use), burner may ignite suddenly and simultaneously
snuff itself out. If this happens, blow down into burner opening to dissipate alcohol vapor,
and relight. The Origo-lighter is recommended. Winterize your stove by burning remaining
fuel.

EXTINGUISH
Turn regulator knob clockwise.
TO REMOVE GRID (PHOTO 5)
At the back of the stove top is an oblong hole, into which the grid retaining hook fits. To
remove grid, slide it out of the retaining hole and it can be lifted off.
