- Page 5 EN - HOW yOUr STOVE WOrKS The Optimus Nova+ is a multifuel stove. This means that you can use a number of different liquid fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Unlike propane gas, these are often easy to get hold of even in the most remote corners of the globe.
- Page 6 The bottle may explode if it is exposed to heat. Only use wind screens approved by Optimus for use together with the Optimus Nova+. Never cover the fuel bottle with the wind screen. There must always be a clearance of at least 15 cm (6 inches) between the fuel bottle and a pot or pan on the stove to prevent overheating of the fuel bottle.
- Page 7 EN - HOW yOUr STOVE WOrKS Connect the fuel hose to the pump’s quick connect. Make sure that the fuel feed valve is closed (turned fully clockwise). Check the O-ring on the tip of the fuel hose. Replace the O-ring if it is damaged, missing or worn. Fit the fuel hose into the quick connect and make sure the bayonet joint locks.
- Page 8 HOW yOUr STOVE WOrKS - EN release a small amount of fuel for preheating. The stove’s burner has to be hot to allow the liquid fuel to vaporize at the nozzle and burn effi ciently. Therefore, you have to preheat the burner before you can start preparing food. This is done by fi rst releasing a squirt of fuel and allowing it to burn for a short time, heating up the nozzle in the burner.
- Page 9 EN - HOW yOUr STOVE WOrKS Open the control valve again and adjust the flame until it turns blue and there is a hissing sound. Once the preheating flames are almost out, open the control valve again by about a quarter turn. If the burner is hot enough, the fuel will vaporize and be ignited by the preheating flame.
- Page 10 HOW yOUr STOVE WOrKS - EN fl ame will not go out immediately, but will burn for a few minutes depending on which fuel you are using and how open the control valve is. To release the pressure in the fuel bottle faster, you can let the stove burn at full throttle. It will take about 30-40 seconds for the fl ame to extinguish, and another 30 seconds for the remaining air to seep out.
- Page 11 The Optimus Nova+ has a burner designed to use petroleum-based fuels. Therefore, you cannot use alcohol-based fuel. We recommend that you use chemically pure gasoline (not automotive gasoline) or high-quality kerosene. Under no circumstances should you handle fuel near a lit stove or in your tent.
- Page 12 fUELS - EN We recommend the use of kerosene, as it is primarily designed for use in stoves and heaters. We do NOT advise the use of lamp oil or fire lighting fluid (charcoal lighter). NOTE: In harsh cold, there is a risk of kerosene solidifying, which makes the stove unusable. DIESEL Diesel is somewhat similar to kerosene, but preheating takes slightly longer and it produces even more soot.
- Page 13 When the weather is cold, it is of course even more important to use a wind screen and a lid on your pan when cooking: this considerably reduces the amount of time/fuel needed to heat your food. With our Optimus Terra set of cooking pans, you can also keep your food hot once it has been taken off the stove.
- Page 14 Pump a few times in order to increase the pressure in the bottle. If this does not help, check whether the pump leather is dry or damaged. Soften it with your fingers, and lubricate it with Optimus lubricant or replace it if so required. Check also that the pump is screwed together properly.
- Page 15 You should clear the nozzle in the burner every time you use the stove. This is done by moving the multitool magnets back and forth a few times beneath the burner’s base nut. The patented Optimus cleaning needle will then be activated. If you operate the cleaning needle while the stove is burning, the flame may go out.
- Page 16 MOrE ADVANCED MAINTENANCE AND SErVICE - EN CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND CLEANING NEEDLE If the stove is not functioning satisfactorily and the routine measures above do not help, the nozzle and cleaning needle may need to be cleaned. Remove the burner plate, use the tip of the multitool as a screwdriver and unscrew the nozzle.
- Page 17 This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other legal rights which vary from state to state. If you have any problems with your Optimus Nova+, return it to your dealer or contact Optimus. Clear food and dirt from the stove before handing it over.
