General safety instructions
2.2
Safety precautions when handling denatured
alcohol
Keep inflammable substances apart from heating and cooking
d
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 2).
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.
Mop up any spilt alcohol immediately to prevent uncontrollable
a
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 un-
controllable burning inside the stove.
2.3
Operating the device safely
Use long matches or long lighters to light the burner.
d
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.
Let the stove cool down to ambient temperature before you
a
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 a maximum diameter of 23 cm.
