SAFETY FIRST
When you use your Optimus Hiker+, you'll be handling highly flammable fuels. If used
incorrectly, you will be putting yourself and everything around you in danger. Make sure
that you've understood everything in this manual before using the stove. Try it out and
get to know it properly before you head out for adventure.
Check that no fuel is leaking before you light the stove. If you have spilled any fuel, the
safest thing is to move the stove. If you discover fuel leaking from any part of the stove,
the leak must be taken care of before the stove is used. Never use a stove that is
leaking fuel.
The Optimus Hiker+ is designed for outdoor use only. A lit stove consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon monoxide. If you use the stove indoors in an unventilated area or in a
tent, you run the risk of falling victim to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Make sure that you never hold your face or any other part of your body over the stove.
Also make sure you keep your clothes away from the stove. Many materials used for
outdoor clothing, sleeping bags, etc. are highly flammable.
Be very careful when lighting a stove that has just been used. A hot burner can
vaporize the fuel. The fuel may ignite explosively. Allow the stove to cool properly
before lighting it again.
Never leave the stove without supervision. Never leave children unattended near the
stove.
Use Optimus Hiker+ only for cooking food and boiling water.
