Using the MSR Whisperlite Universal Stove is a piece of cake. First, choose your fuel. If you're using canister fuel, simply attach the canister using the provided coupler and the canister stand. For liquid fuels like white gas, kerosene, or unleaded gasoline, you'll need to use the fuel pump to pressurize the bottle and connect it to the stove. Once the fuel is connected, light the stove. You can adjust the flame easily thanks to the AirControl technology.
When it comes to safety, always use the stove in a well - ventilated area. Keep it away from flammable materials. And remember, the fuel bottle and gas canister are not included, so make sure to get the right ones for your needs. You can search for 'MSR Fuel Bottle' on our site for different size options.
For maintenance, the self - cleaning Shaker Jet technology makes it easy. After each use, give the stove a good shake to clean the jet. Periodically, check the small parts in the kit to ensure everything is in good condition. If you notice any issues, refer to the included instructions or contact our support team.
