WARNING - RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS, DO NOT
POUR OUT THE ETHANOL WHILE IT IS HOT.
WARNING - ETHANOL IS A FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND

completely burned out, push the front handle of burner
until opening of burner is completely closed. It is not
recommended to leave ethanol inside the fuel reservoir while
it is not in use.
If the flame will not fully extinguish immediately. Leave the
burner closed. Do not blow air into the burner - It will not
help to extinguish the flame but will actually cause the flame
to become bigger by increasing the combustion. Wait for
flame to extinguish before leaving flame unattended.
