flammable pulp. Theyhave no valves to develop leaks, or other components in need of
regular service. This makes ORIGO 1500 and 3000 safe and easyto maintain.
As always - whenworking witha naked flame - certainprecautions are required. So,read

water.

During use,the tanks are heated, and the fuelrequires space to expand. It is therefore
important to avoid overfilling the tanks.
The tank openings are recessed to facilitate filling. Hold the tank as showninphoto 2, with
the recess pointing down, and pour the fueldirectlyinto the opening covered bythe wire
mesh. Check quantitybyraising to vertical. Whenfuel is visible inrecess, do not fill more
(photo 3). After filling, make certainno excess fuel remains instove. Always wipe tanks dry.
Place tanks instove. Check thattheyfit properlyinmountings. Close the stove up.

that the regulating plates cover the burner openings so that stove top is level.)
TO LIGHT (PHOTO 4)
Turnregulator knob counter-clockwise to openburner.Place a lighted matchat burner
opening.(Matchcanbe dropped inand removed at next filling.)
If the stove is warm (from previous use), burner mayignite suddenlyand simultaneously

and relight. The Origo-lighter is recommended. Winterize your stove byburning remaining
fuel.
