1 Make sure that the control valve is fully closed.
WARNING! Never leave the stove unattended. Never leave
children unsupervised near the stove.
2 Connect the gas canister and fold out the pot supports.
Be careful not to damage the threads when you connect the gas canister.
The Optimus Crux Lite is designed for gas canisters containing 70 Butane
/ 30 Propane with a threaded valve per the EN 417 standard. Make sure
the stove is placed in a stable position. If the canister tips
over it could fl are up with big fl ames. Also make sure there
is plenty of free space around the stove, at least 1 meter
on each side and 1.5 meters above it. Many materials used
in outdoor clothing, sleeping bags etc are highly flammable.
WARNING! If you detect a hissing sound or the smell of
gas, do not under any circumstances light the stove. The
gas has an additive with a foul smell. Never use a stove
that is leaking gas.
3Open the control valve and light the edge of the burner.
Use the control valve to get the flame you want. If the output is weak, it
could mean the gas is running out, or that the canister is too cold. Make
sure there is no open fire nearby if you need to change the gas canister.
Do not use pans with a diameter larger than 220 mm (8.5
inches). The pan plus food must not weigh more than 2
kg (4.4 lbs) combined.
WARNING! Never hold your face or any other part
of your body over the stove. Never move or shake a
canister when the stove is lit. Never cover the stove or
the canister with a wind screen. This can cause the gas
canister to overheat, which can endanger your life.

4 Packing the stove.
Turn off the stove and allow it to cool properly. Disconnect the gas canister.
It is normal for a small amount of gas to fizz out when you unscrew the
gas canister.
WARNING! Never transport or store the stove with the gas canister
connected.
MAINTENANCE
We recommend that when the stove has not been used for a while, you
check the O-ring where the stove connects to the gas canister. If the O-ring
is not in place, or is worn or damaged, leakage may result. Replace the
O-ring by teasing it out with a tool such as the blunt end of a sewing needle.
Never use a sharp or pointed object that can damage the seal surfaces. Fit
the new O-ring with care to avoid damaging it.
ABOUT THE GAS
Optimus Crux Lite is designed for use with a gas
canister containing a 70/30 mix of butane and
propane with a threaded valve per the EN417
standard (shown on gas canister). As a rough
guide, 300 grams of gas should last one person
one week.
IN COLD WEATHER
The butane/propane mix is adversely affected by the cold. The gas mix
becomes less efficient even at 0 degrees Celsius. The butane ceases to
vaporize and the stove runs solely on propane. If the propane runs out, you
can only use the rest of the container at temperatures above freezing. One
tip is to keep the gas canister warm inside your jacket or in your sleeping
bag at night. You can also place the holder in lukewarm water. The canister
must never be exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F). Never shake
the canister when the stove is in use as you risk big flames shooting up.
