Before you light the stove.

The warnings printed on every can, in plain words.

Fitting the can

  • Check the seal

    Look at the rubber seal where the can connects. If it's damaged, worn or missing, replace it before you fit a can.

  • Fresh air, no flames

    Change cans outdoors or somewhere well ventilated, away from flames, sparks and anything else that could light it.

  • The right stove

    Use it only with stoves made for direct-pressure butane cans that meet EN417 or EN521.

  • Arrow up, valve first

    Keep the red arrow on the can facing up and slide the valve end in first.

  • Your stove's manual

    Read and follow the instructions that came with your stove.

When you're done

  • Turn it off first

    Close the stove valve fully before you take the can out or swap it.

  • Take it out gently

    Remove the can carefully after use.

Keeping it

  • Out of the sun

    Keep the can out of direct sunlight.

  • Never over 50°C

    Don't let it get hotter than 50°C. A car parked in the sun gets hotter than that, so don't leave cans in it.

  • Cool, dry, airy

    Store it somewhere cool, dry and well ventilated, away from heat.

  • Away from children

    Keep cans out of reach of children.

Never

  • Never refill it

    Camp Gas cans are made to be used once. Don't try to refill them.

  • Never pierce or burn it

    Don't puncture, pierce or burn a can, or throw it on a fire, even when it's empty.

  • Throw it away properly

    Dispose of empty cans safely, following local rules.
