5. Assembly and use of the
appliance with liquid fuel
5.1 Make sure that the right jet is used for the
selected fuel.
5.2 Fill a Primus fuel bottle up to the level line
with the selected liquid fuel. NB! Never fill
above the level line. Make sure that the valve
knob (2) is tightened so that the valve is dosed
(maximum clockwise).
5.3 Connect the pump to the fuel bottle.
Make sure the screws are not cross-threaded.
Tighten.
5.4 Screw the fuel pump swivel coupling
carefully into the valve until it meets the
control valve O-ring. Be careful not to cross-
thread the connection. Hand- tighten only -
overtIghtening will damage the connection.
5.5 With EtaPower 1.7 and 2.1 L pots (Flg. 2)
5.6 Place the wind screen (5) over the burner
(4) and twist it a quarter turn so that it locks
into place under the base plate holder (6).
Wind screen to be used with Eta-pot only!
5.7 Twist the pot supports (7) into place.
With a frying pan or large pots (Fig. 3)
IMPORTANT! When using a frying pan or
other pots than the EtaPower™ Pot, do not
use the wind screen (5)!
5.8 Place the burner (4) on the base and make
sure it is stable.
5.9 Twist the pot supports (7) into place and
make sure they are fully extended.
5.10 Pump 15-20 times, or pump more than
this if the fuel level is low.
5.11 Place the fuel bottle (laying down) on a
level base with the text "ON " on the pump
facing upwards.
5.12 The appliance should always be standing
on a level surface with the hose pulled out
towards the fuel bottle. Keep the fuel bottle
away from heat.
5.13 Open the valve on the pump by turning
the knob anticlockwise for a short time. (3-4
seconds depending on which fuel you use.)
Liquid fuel will then flow towards the jet and
enter the burner Just opening it for a short
time will give sufficient fuel to start the stove.
More fuel than this gives a longer preheating
time and larger flames.
5.14 Check that no leaks occur in the
connections. If leaks are discovered, the stove
should not be lit.
5.15 Light the burner (at the pre heating
pad) (8) with a match, lighter or similar. Keep
your head and body away from the stove.
The liquid which has flowed out previously
will now burn for about 45 seconds if it
is petroVgasoline, and 90 seconds if it is
paraffin/ kerosene. During this so-called
preheating period, the liquid vaporises, and at
the end of this period, a crackling noise can be
heard. Then the pump valve should be opened
slowly by turning the knob anticlockwise. If
the flame is yellow and relatively large, the
pump's valve should be closed and preheating
allowed to continue for a while longer. If the
flame is small and relatively blue, the stove is
ready for use.
5.16 When the stove is burning, it should be
kept level and not moved around. If the stove
is moved, or is not sufficiently hot, it can flare
up.
5.17 Ensure that inflammable material is kept
at a safe distance. Distance to ceiling should
be at least 1250 mm and to well at least 1250
mm, OTHERWISE it can catch fire!
5.18 To close down the appliance and empty
the fuel system. Turn the fuel bottle 180°
so that the "OFF' text on the fuel pump is
pointing upwards. When the flame has gone
out and only air is going through the jet,
close the valve (by turning the control knob
clockwise as far as it will go). Note: This
procedure will take about 1 minute. Let the
appliance cool down before taking it apart.
5.19 Do NOT relight a hot appliance
