Operating the stove with a gas cartridge
1. It is fully recommended to change the jet before operating the appliance with a gas cartridge (the original jet installed is for liquid fuel). The jet is
supplied with the appliance and marked with the text “GAS“.
2. Screw carefully the gas valve into the stove hose. Hand-tighten only.
3. Ensure that the valve is shut off (flame control valve tighten clockwise). Screw a gas cartridge that complies with EN 417 (it is recommended to use
PINGUIN cartridges), hand-tighten. It is possible to use cartridge 220g – Nozzle type together with a Pinguin Adaptor regulation (not included in the
package).
4. Turn the flame control valve counterclockwise – gas begins to escape from the stove. Light the burner through a hole in the lower part of the cup.
The stove is ready for use. Regulate the flame according to your needs.
5. After use, close the gas control by turning the flame control valve clockwise. Disassemble the appliance when fully cooled.
Safety information
1. Keep the stove in safe distance from flammable materials – at least 3 meters above and 1 meter next to each side of the stove.
2. Never move with the stove when burning.
3. Never relight a hot stove. It is absolutely needed to wait for the stove to cool fully and then preheat it again.
4. Use outdoors only! Never use the stove in a tent, indoors or in a vehicle. The appliance consumes huge amount of oxygen and produces carbon
dioxid. The use indoors can cause fire or carbon dioxid poisoning.
5. When assembling or disassembling the burner to/from the gas cartridge, a small leak can occur. Keep the appliance in safe distance from possible
sources of ignition, fire and people. In the case of a leak (indicated by a smell of gas), remove the stove immediately to a well-ventilated location
outdoors, where the leakage can be investigated and corrected. Never check for leaks with a naked flame, use soapy water.
6. Never leave the stove unattended when lit or has just put out.
Maintenance
The appliance needs regular maintenance. When using liquid fuels, clean the stove regularly for optimum, trouble-free and safe operation.
1. Cleaning the jet
Unscrew the burner from the cartridge or pump. Remove the stainless steel cover of the burner cup and unscrew the jet by turning it
counterclockwise. Clean the jet using the cleaning needle supplied with the appliance. Rub the supplied oil onto the thread of the jet and screw it
home securely.
2. Cleaning the fuel pump:
If the pump does not pressurise, it is necessary to check the pump gasket and lubricate it. Uncrew the upper part of the pump and withdraw the
pump rod. Rub oil into the gasket. If the pump still does not pressurise, replace the gasket.
3. Cleaning the priming tube:
(It is recommended to unsrew the jet from the burner cup first)
Turn the stove upside down and unscrew three stainless steel screws in the bottom corners. Withdraw the cup attached on the stainless steel
bottom from the duralumin body of the stove. By turning counterclockwise unscrew the locknut of the hose using the multi-tool and remove the
hose from the stove. Withdraw the stainless steel cord coming out of the priming tube and wipe off the mess. Put the cord back into the tube and
push and pull it several times. Withdraw the cord and wipe off the mess again. Keep doing this until the cord is clean. Then put the cord back into
the tube, screw the hose and tighten it using multi-tool. Put the cup on the bottom back into the duralumin body and tighten the screws in the
bottom corners.
Troubles:
1. Liquid fuel leakage:
Flame control valve: replace the old or broken valve gasket.
Hose, pump and tube connections: replace the old or broken hose gasket
Hose: in case of damage contact the producer
Jet: ensure the jet is tighten properly
If the liquid fuel escapes from the jet with the flame control valve fully closed, the valve is broken. Replace it or contact the producer for its repairment.
2. Unstable operation:
Unstable yellow flame – insufficient priming or excessive pressure in fuel bottle. Reduce power by closing the flame control valve clockwise. Wait until proper
priming – stable blue flame.
Old or poor-quality fuel – clean the stove and bottle thoroughly and use high-quality fuel
Too low temperature of ambient air, priming takes long time – use windscreen to shield the stove from wind and cold.
3. Reduced power of the stove:
Weak flame, long cooking time – insufficient pressure in liquid fuel bottle. To increase pressure, pump the rod as long as you feel resistance.
Jet or priming tube is blocked – clean the jet and the tube and use better-quality (clean) fuel.
Bright red flame – increase pressure in liquid fuel bottle by pumping.
4. No pressure in liquid fuel bottle:
Rub gasket of the pump is broken or dry. Check the gasket and lubricate it using oil supplied with the stove, or replace the gasket.
