YATE COOK ALPINIST

The tourist stove ALPINIST is designed for propane-butane fuel for disposable cartridges with direct excess pressure of a mixture of propane and butane. Cartridges containing propane-butane liquid gas under constant pressure in the ratio of 30:70 PB are intended for the operation of this cooker. The cartridge must be manufactured according to EN 417 and equipped with a self-sealing valve with a 7/16" connection thread. The cartridges are disposable, they are not allowed to be refilled.

Before connecting the cooker to the gas cartridge, read this user manual thoroughly. Keep the instructions carefully for future use. WARNING: the cooker can be very dangerous if used incorrectly. Use only in well-ventilated areas and at a sufficient distance from flammable objects.

Technical parameters:

Sealing: O ring 12 x 8 mm

Before use :

1. Connecting the cooker to the cartridge

Cartridges manufactured according to EN 417, equipped with a self-sealing valve with a 7/16" connection thread, are intended for the operation of this cooker.

Before connecting the cooker to the cartridge make sure the sealing "O" ring is in perfect condition. If this part shows signs of wear, replace it. It is 12x8 mm in size. Use a sharp object to remove the worn gasket, a blunt object of the appropriate dimensions to seat the new gasket.

Check that the cooker control valve is fully closed - close by turning to the right.

Connect the cartridge to the cooker is only possible in an outdoor environment, out of reach of people and any source of ignition, i.e. open flame, electric discharge, etc.

After connecting the stove to the cartridge, at least make sure by smell that this system is perfectly tight. Never do this with an open flame. If the system shows signs of leakage after assembly, disassemble the system and check the seals. If you are unable to remove the defect, disassemble the cooker and do not use it! Do not ignite it and do not approach an open fire or any other source of ignition.

The cooker and the cartridge are equipped with a right-hand thread for mutual connection. When attaching the cooker to the cartridge, it is necessary to proceed with the necessary care in order not to cross the threads (the so-called "screwing over the thread"), otherwise the cooker will be destroyed due to improper handling.

When screwing onto the cartridge, it may sound the faint hiss of gas by opening the bomb valve with the opening pin. With another turn, the seal will fit on the cartridge and ensure the tightness of the system. Further violent, unnecessary tightening leads to rapid wear of the seal, or to destroy the cooker thread! Occasional light rubbing of the cooker thread with vaseline will significantly extend its life.

2. Ignition and operation

Secure the stove with the cartridge in a vertical position. Unfold the container supports. Turn the gas cap to the left to open the gas supply and ignite the flame (use matches, lighter or flint). When igniting the flame, open the gas to full power.

If the cartridge has been in the cold and quiet for a long time, it must be shaken thoroughly before use, otherwise the flame will "take off" after lighting the stove for about one minute. If a cooking vessel is placed on the stove before lighting the flame, this phenomenon almost does not occur.

When using a completely full, new cartridge that has been exposed to heat for a long time, after lighting the stove, a massive yellowish flames. Immediately close the control valve to minimum until the flame subsides. This phenomenon will most certainly occur if the cartridge cooker is strongly tilted.

During operation, avoid boiling the liquid from the cooking container, otherwise it will be damaged or completely destroyed, as well as the cooker.

Do not leave the stove unattended during operation.

When operating the stove, keep a safe distance from flammable materials - at least 0.5 m. > Do not place flammable objects on the stove. If you are in doubt about the correct function of the product, do not use it and contact the seller or service.

3. Stopping operation

Stopping operation is done by tightening the control valve to the right until the flame goes out. The cooker can then be disconnected from the cartridge by unscrewing. As a rule, perform this operation only after the cooker has completely cooled down. Removing the cooker from the cartridge must never be done during operation!!! Always separate the cooker from the cartridge after the end of operation, this will prevent the cartridge from emptying due to a small leak. This can be caused by dirt that gets between the cooker and the cartridges. Therefore, keep this area clean.

4. Warning for emergency situations

If the flame blows outside the active part of the burner, immediately close the control valve and slightly tighten the bomb cooker. If the flame continues to appear, extinguish it with a stream of water, which you usually have ready for heating. If the flame cannot be extinguished, throw away, or kick the cooker and cartridge to a safe place. Ensure that no one approaches the cooker at a distance of less than 20 m until the gas has burned out. Do not use the cooker afterwards!

6. Disassembling, cleaning and assembling the stove

The stove consists of two main parts: the valve body and the burner, which are connected to each other with a thread and sealed with an "O" ring. The disassembly of these parts is necessary in order to clean the nozzle. Even a small amount of clogging sharply reduces the performance of the stove.

Do not use needles and pins for cleaning, as this damages the nozzle and may break the tip of the needle in the nozzle and thus destroy the stove. A negative pressure created by the mouth or blowing through is often enough to clean. It is also possible to use very thin wire.
