2.2 Safety precautions when handling denatured
alcohol
dzKeep inflammable substances apart from heating and cooking
devices and other light and heat sources.
zStore alcohol in suitable containers only and in sufficient
distance from the stove.
zEliminate all sources of sparks or flames where the alcohol is
stored or filled-in.
zNever fill the canisters while still in the stove. Never pour fuel
through the burner openings in top of the stove (fig. 1, page 2).
zOverfilling, spilt alcohol and hot objects can cause severe
burns.
zDenatured alcohol burns with almost invisible flame, so great
damage can arise before you notice the danger.
azMop up any spilt alcohol immediately to prevent uncontrollable
burning.
zDo not smoke when handling alcohol or when operating the
stove.
zFill 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
dzUse long matches or long lighters to light the burner.
Quickly remove your hand as soon as the burner ignites.
zWear proper clothing when operating the stove.
Do not wear hanging garments which can catch fire.
azLet the stove cool down to ambient temperature before you
touch it with bare hands.
zKeep the area surrounding the stove and interior parts free of
grease, fat, alcoholic substances, plastic or inflammable cloths
(for instance curtains, towels, kitchen utensils).
zUse only pots and pans with a maximum diameter of 23 cm.
