Important safety information:
The vent in the filling plug of the tank must always be open and should never be
closed. If the vent is closed, an excess pressure will build up inside the tank that
may damage the tank and thus cause imminent fire or explosion hazards.
When relocating or storing the stove, fully drain the tank to prevent spirit leakage.
Please bear in mind that methylated spirit will only be an appropriate fuel if properly
used. Spilled methylated spirit will burn with a practically invisible flame, that is to
say major damage may already have been caused before the hazard is detected.
Check the tank for leaks that may be caused through handling or other causes at
regular intervals. If there are any leaks, the stove should not be used any more.
Have it checked by an expert.
Spirit stoves may only be used on a horizontal non-flammable base. A distance of no
less than 25 cm must be maintained to flammable objects or substances.
Never top up spirit while the stove is burning or still hot from operation. When filling
spirit, keep open flames away from the filler neck.
Never ever leave your stove unattended while it is being used.
Filling spirit in the stove
→ Place the stove on a horizontal non-flammable base.
→ Before filling the spirit, close the valve screw by turning it clockwise.
→ Unscrew the filling plug from the tank.
→ Fill spirit into the tank by approx. 3/4 of its capacity - use a funnel
(wipe off any spilled spirit).
Filling capacity: Salsa approx. 0.4 Liter
Mambo approx. 0.8 Liter
→ Close the tank once again using the filling plug.

Never top up spirit while the stove is burning or still hot. Always keep the vent
in the filling plug of the tank open.
To use your stove:
→ After filling, wait for 2 to 3 minutes so the wick in the carburetor pipe can
soak with spirit.
→ Open the valve screw by turning it anticlockwise. Now, spirit will gradually
drip off the burner nozzle and into the preheating trough. Please note: The
preheating trough should only be filled with spirit by one half.
→ Close the valve screw once again.
→ Now, ignite the spirit in the preheating trough.
→ Just before the preheating flame goes out, gradually open the valve screw
once again - by approx. 3 turns. If the preheating flame has already gone out, the
burner must be ignited with a match.
