Ever since the establishment of Primus in 1892, our Swedish engineers
have been internationally recognised for designing stoves for explorers
and adventurers. It is our genuine passion for adventure and technical
solutions that has been the reason for the success of Primus innovations
for more than 125 years. It is a passion and a calling that we are still on
fire about.
No matter what level of adventure you want to embark on, we want to
equip you with a functional and reliable stove that will be your valued
companion for life. That is why we test every stove, individually, by
hand before it leaves our high-tech factory in Europe. In this way, we
can maintain the high level of quality and functionality that we demand
from our products. So, read this manual carefully and make sure your
cooking is as safe, fun and tasty as it should to be. Enjoy your food –
enjoy life in the outdoors!

A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY.
Because you’re dealing with highly fl ammable substances, we’d like to
bring a few important points to your attention before you begin.
Important: Read these instructions for use carefully so as to familiarize yourself with the
appliance before connecting it to its gas container. Keep these instructions for future
reference.
Use only in a well ventilated area.
Check the seals and connections every time you use the stove. (see the section, “Before
ignition”). Do not use the appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.
Change the gas container outside and away from people. Checking the gas flows through
the regulator and burners must be done outdoors and away from any naked flame.
Ensure that the stove is not used in the proximity of any combustible material, gas or fluids.
When being used, the distance from any roof must be at least 1250 mm and 500 mm
from any wall.
Never leave a lit stove unattended and always ensure that inflammable material is kept
away from the stove when it is in use.
Do not modify the appliance. Carefully follow the instructions for fitting spare parts that
may be ordered in, if you are going to replace them yourself.
When the stove is going to be stored away, ensure that all its components are clean and
dry. The gas cartridge should never be attached to the stove when in storage. Store the gas
cartridge in a dry and safe place, and out of direct sunlight or temperatures in excess of 50°C.
Save this instruction book so that you can return to it when you need it.

GAS UTILISATION TUPIKE 350121
This stove is intended for use with Primus gas Propane/Isobutane/
Butane in cartridges with designation 2202xx, 2206xx, 2207xx. (Red
Power Gas, green Summer Gas or brown Winter Gas). Alternatively,
an LPG cylinder that fi ts adapters attached to the stove (in certain
countries), or sold separately as an accessory (part no. 738019).
Gas consumption is 250 g/h/3.5 kW butane under pressure of 1 bar. Or 250 g/h/
11,000 BTU/h butane under pressure of 1.45 bar.
The diameter of the bore in the nozzle of the stove’s burner is 0.35 mm.
CHECKING THE STOVE. Important: If there
is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), take it outside immediately
into a well ventilated fl ame free location where the leak may be detected
and stopped. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it
outside. Do not try to detect leaks using a fl ame, use soapy water.
Contact Primus or your local dealership for replacement parts. You will
fi nd contact information on the back page of this instruction booklet.
1. Smell or listen for gas leaks from the gas cartridge. If you are not certain, you can
check by putting some soapy water on the connection to the gas cartridge. If you see any
bubbles, there is a gas leak – DO NOT LIGHT the stove!
2. The gas control knobs on the stove must be closed (turn clockwise to close) before
connecting the gas cartridge.

PRIM0035 - Instruktionsfolder_Inlaga.indd 5 2015-12-04 15:04

3. Check the seals before connecting a new gas container to the appliance. Do not use
the appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.
4. The threads on both the gas cartridge and the regulator, must be intact if they are
damaged in any way or awry, replace the gas cartridge; or if the regulator is damaged, DO
NOT USE the stove. Order a new hose and regulator – see Accessories on the side flap.
5. Inspect the hose (so that it is neither kinked norsquashed. Avoid twisting the flexible hose)
as well as the connections to the burners that they are not damaged. Lift the pan support
and drip tray to ensure that the hose and connector are properly adjusted.
PREPARE THE STOVE. Important: Take care
to ensure that the stove is standing with its legs fully folded out on a
stable, flat surface with no combustible material nearby. Check its
stability! If you tip the stove while there are pots on it, you risk being
scalded by hot liquids.
1. Stand the stove on its side with the handle uppermost. Remove the regulator and hose
from the slot on the underside.
2. Unfold the support legs to their outermost extent. Place the stove with its support legs
downwards on a flat surface.
3. Open the lid on the stove by angling the handle 90°. It is important that the handle is
pointing straight up, otherwise the lid cannot be opened. Lift the lid as far as it will go.
4. Fold out both wind shields to their outermost position.
PRIM0035 - Instruktionsfolder_Inlaga.indd 6 2015-12-04 15:04

5. In transportation mode, the pan support s upside down. Turn the pan support so that
the rough sides are uppermost, towards the pot. Ensure that the metal pins on the edges
sit in the holes in the drip tray.
6. Attach the gas cartridge to the regulator by screwing with a definite continuous motion as
far as it will go. Do this manually – DO NOT USE a pair of pliers, or similar.
7. Make sure that the gas cartridge is level with the regulator upwards. Check that no gas is
leaking from the connection between the regulator and the gas cartridge. Use soapy water
as discussed in the section “Before ignition” if you are unsure.
LIGHTING THE STOVE. Important: Under no
circumstances move the stove when it is lit, either with or without pots.
If, due to the wind, the fl ames are forced down under the burner, turn
the stove off and move it to a more sheltered location.
1. Rotate the gas supply knob for the burner you want to light, about one turn
anti-clockwise and press the ignition button next to the knob to ignite the gas.
2. If the burner does not ignite after five attempts with the ignition button, turn off the supply
(clockwise as far as it will go) and wait ten seconds for the unignited gas to dissipate. Turn
on the gas supply and try again.
3. Once the gas has been lit, you can adjust the flame and the supply of heat with the supply
knob. The gas should burn directly upwards with a steady flame.
4. Put the pot or frying pan on the stove after the gas has been lit.
5. If you need to use two burners, light the second one the same way that you lit the first.

TURN OFF THE STOVE. Important: Do not
pack up the stove before the burners and the pan supports have cooled
down. Check that burners are extinguished before disconnecting the
gas container.
1. Turn the stove off by twisting the gas supply knobs clockwise to the stop position. The valve
is closed and the gas flow is stopped when the flame goes out. Do not use excessive force
in turning off the supply; you may risk having problems when you try to turn on the supply
next time.
2. When you have completely finished with the stove, and both burners have been turned
are off, unscrew the gas cartridge from the regulator and place the regulator in
the slot on the underside of the stove.
3. Rotate the pan supports, fold in the wind shields, close the lid, fold the legs
in and tilt the handle back into position.
MAINTENANCE OF THE STOVE.
Important: Regular cleaning and overhaul will extend the life of
your stove. Do not try to repair screw threads or valves on the gas
cartridges or the regulator yourself. If the stove needs to be repaired,
please contact Primus. You will find contact information on the back
page of this instruction booklet.
1. Remove the pan support. Lift off the drip tray. The drip tray may be cleaned in a
dish-washer as well as manually.
PRIM0035 - Instruktionsfolder_Inlaga.indd 8 2015-12-04 15:04

2. The remainder of the stove should be wiped clean with a cloth and a mild cleanser, e.g.
dish-washing liquid.
3. Examine the wooden parts. If they have been wet and have now dried, give them a lightly
application of oil.
4. Reassemble the stove completely when fully dry. The deepest part of the drip tray should
be closest to the lid.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CONCERNING GAS CARTRIDGES.
Different adapters are used for varying types of refillable cartridges. You can obtain other
adapters, and exchange regulator components yourself if you carefully follow the
instructions that go with them. Attempting to attach gas cartridges that are not designed
for the stove can be dangerous.
