HINTS AND ADVICE
• Place the Petromax bk1 on a level and steady surface before star-
ting a fire. If the surface is uneven, you can secure the Petromax
bk1 thanks to two traditional tent pegs on the sides.
• Before starting a fire, make sure the place is fireproof. Remove all
flammable materials such as leaves or dry grass. Make sure the
Petromax bk1 does not sink in the ground. The Petromax bk1 only
works efficiently when enough air can be sucked into it through
the sides and the grate.
• To fan the fire in the Petromax bk1, blow steadily on the embers
through the oblong gaps on the sides. Do not blow too strongly.
Risk of flying sparks!
• If you want to move the Petromax bk1 in a steady and safe way,
lift it up by the oblong sides. Always wear heat-resistant gloves.
• Make sure the Petromax bk1 is straight and the cooking container
cannot slip down.
• While cooking, you can add wood through the upper opening on
the front panel without lifting up the cooking container.
• As an alternative you can also heat the Petromax bk1 with tea-
lights or a commercially available compact spirit stove. If you use
the bk1 with tealights, place them on an elevated support so that
the heat of the candles is as near as possible to the cooking vessel.
AFTER USE
• Once you have finished cooking, you can extinguish the fire with
water or leave it burn out.
• Do not remove the ashes before they have cooled down. Dispose
of the ashes properly.
• Take the Petromax bk1 apart, clean each piece separately and put
them back in their pouch.
• Please leave the campfire site tidy.
• Dispose of any combustion residues and leave the place in which
you used the Petromax bk1 as it was before you arrived.
