B. Check the stove s condition before each use, if the gas canister seal looks damaged, or if the stove or gas canister is extremely rusty and deteriorated, it must not be used. C. Ensure all competitors are familiar with the operating instructions for the stove and are confident at igniting it, regulating the flame and turning the stove off. D. Check the pan support and spill tray on some models these must be turned over after removal from the carry case, to the correct cooking position. b) If the pan support is upside down and the burner is used, heat can be transferred onto the aerosol type butane canister in the body of the stove and after a time, the canister can burst causing a violent fire. E. Ensure that the correct type of gas canister for the appliance is used and that it is correctly fitted (in the right place and in the right way). F. When fitting the butane canister, do not force the gas canister retaining lever into position as this can damage the mechanical linkage and the safety pressure relief device. c) If there is a problem with the retaining lever, check that the pan support and spill tray and the butane gas canister has been correctly fitted. d) If there is still a problem with the lever or if there are further problems or concerns, do not attempt to ignite the stove. G. If anyone smells or hears gas leaking from the stove before attempting to light it, don t use it & inform an official. H. If any gas is leaking, ensure that it is being dispersed in free air well away from any sparks or other sources of ignition.
