Step 1

Make sure the regulator knob and control knobs are in
the "OFF" position.

Step 2

Make sure regulator/valve assembly is properly attached
to propane cylinder refer to "Assembly Instructions".
Attach regulator/valve assembly to the side of the
Camping Stove. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

Step 3

Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing
liquid to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the
assembly hose and connections. Apply a generous
amount of the soapy mixture to the regulator stem, the
entire length of hose and Camping Stove fitting (located
on the right side of stove).

Step 4

With the control knobs in the "OFF" position, open the
regulator valve two full turns (counter-clockwise). Next,
check for bubbles at regulator valve, along the entire
length of hose and at the Camping Stove fitting. DO NOT
LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. If soapy
mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the
connection or hose. Turn the regulator valve "OFF" and
retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat
procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn
the regulator valve "OFF" after each test.

Step 5

Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5
MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNERS.

Carefully follow "Operating Instructions" to light the
burner and properly operate this unit.
