PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Petromax Rocket Stove rf33 effectively
combines stack effect and wood boiler prin-
ciple, thus achieving an extremely efficient
combustion of biomass thanks to an optimal
air supply. The L-shaped design of the fuel
support, combustion chamber and chimney
vent is crucial. You can use the escaping heat
to cook on the cast-iron top of the rocket stove.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only use the rocket stove outdoors.
Never use indoors – Fire hazard and
danger of suffocation.
• Comply with fire safety regulations. Show
consideration to the plant and animal life
and to nature reserves when using the stove.
• Caution! The rocket stove can become very
hot. Flames can escape from the upper
opening. Thus children and animals should
never be allowed near the stove.
• Do not leave the rocket stove unattended
while a fire burns inside.
• Keep a safety distance to flammable and
heat-sensitive objects.
• Place the rocket stove on a level, not heat-
sensitive surface and make sure that it is
4
steady. When putting cookware on the
Rocket Stove rf33, avoid rickety structures.
• Never cover the rocket stove. Fire hazard!
• Never use liquid firelighters or fluids such as
kerosene, turpentine or methylated spirit to
start or restart the fire. Such substances can
explode and are partly toxic and harmful to
the environment.
• We recommend solid firelighters such as
Petromax Zunder. If you use Petromax
Zunder or other commercially available grill-
or firelighters, please follow the instructions
on the packaging of the product you have
purchased.
• Touch only the handles of the Rocket Stove
rf33 and protect your hands with heat-resis-
tant gloves.
• Do not move the stove when a fire is burning
inside it.
• Wear appropriate clothes when using the
rocket stove. Avoid wearing long, loose
sleeves for they catch fire easily.
• Be careful when you add more fuel, and
make sure you have a bucket of sand or a
powder fire extinguisher nearby.
• Do not pour any cold liquids (e.g. water) onto
the cast-iron top of the rocket stove, for the
cast iron can crack or be otherwise damaged.
• Let the rocket stove completely cool down
after use.
• Remove the ashes from the combustion
chamber if needed. Wait until the ashes are
cold before removing them, and then dispose
of them properly. Never throw hot ashes in
the household waste!
• The warranty does not cover improper use or
misuse of the rocket stove. Opening or dis-
mantling the rf33 invalidates the warranty.
