Cleaning your stove
• DO NOT STORE FOOD in the pots or pans – they should be washed directly after use .
• WASH POTS AND PANS and other parts with regular washing-up liquid and a brush / soft sponge .
• IF YOU NEED A little extra help , use scotch-brite ( not on-non-stick pans ).
• NEVER PUT POTS , pans or other parts in your dishwasher – the chemicals used in dishwasher detergent destroy the aluminium ' s surface .
• CLEAN THE OUTSIDE of your pots and pans also . If you are using gas there will be almost no need for this , but petrol-based or spirit fuel is more likely to leave a soot residue – but this is easy to clean off . Cooking over a woodfuelled fire will mean more soot .
IMPORTANT
Spirit burner
• NEVER REFILL the burner with fuel before it is completely extinguished and has cooled down .
• FILL THE BURNER to a maximum of 2 / 3 full , ( approx . 100 ml ).
• ONLY USE alcohol-based fuel – never petrol or other oil-based fuel .
• USE TRANGIA ’ S fuel bottle that has a safety closure and easy-pour feature .
• EMPTY THE BURNER when you have finished cooking . Do not store fuel in the burner .
• BE ABSOLUTELY 100 % sure the stove is not burning or still warm if pouring fuel back into the bottle .
