Cleaning your stove n DO NOT STORE FOOD in the po
ts or pans – they should be washed directly after use. n WASH POTS AND PANS and other parts with regular washing-up liquid and a brush/soft sponge. n IF YOU NEED A little extra help, use scotch-brite (not on-non-stick pans). n NEVER PUT POTS, pans or other parts in your dishwasher – the chemicals used in dishwasher detergent destroy the aluminium's surface. n 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 n NEVER REFILL the burner with fuel before it is completely extinguished and has cooled down. n FILL THE BURNER to a maximum of 2/3 full, (approx. 100 ml). n ONLY USE alcohol-based fuel – never petrol or other oil-based fuel. n USE TRANGIA’S fuel bottle that has a safety closure and easy-pour feature. n EMPTY THE BURNER when you have finished cooking. Do not store fuel in the burner. n BE ABSOLUTELY 100% sure the stove is not burning or still warm if pouring fuel back into the bottle. Using a Trangia stove indoors CAMPING STOVES are designed for outdoor use. If you do need to use your stove indoors, for example during a power outage, make sure the space you are in is well ventilated, place the stove on a fireproof surface and make sure there is nothing flammable above it. Never leave the stove unattended. READ MORE about having a stove at home for emergencies on pages 82-83.
