Sorry I haven't got around to it sooner. I have the instructions but they are in an awkward format - a 17" x 1.5" sticker designed to stick on the stove! In your last post in Sept you refer to finding an exploded view on the site but not being able to find it on a revist - this one has never been on the site but I will include it below for you. Anyway, here goes - you can cut & paste this into a document.

SAFETY
Read user instruction & test controls without pressure in the tank.

FUEL
Use only paraffin (kerosene)

LIGHTING
1: Cloese all controls. Pumps until the manometer (pressure gauge) needle is in the green segment.
2: Hold a lighted matc at the side of the quicklighter.
3: Lift quicklighter control lever into the 'lock' position & the quicklighter will ignite, producing a 'roaring' flame
4: Let the quicklighter burn for 1 - 1.5 min. MINIMUM TIME & keep the pressure within the green segment.
5:Open the burner control SLOWLY to the left, thereby lighting the main burner, which will burn together with the quicklighter with a yellow/blue flame (approx. 10cm high) & a hissing noise. NOTE! IF A HIGHER FLAME IS PRODUCED, CLOSE THE BURNER CONTROL (the main burner is not suffeciently preheated) CONTINUE HEATING WITH THE QUICKLIGHTER & open the main burner control after approx 15 seconds.
6: Close the quicklighter by pushing the control lever to its bottom position.
7: The main burner will now burn with a blie flame which should be regulated to the required size. Ensure that the manometer needle lies within the green segement.

CLEANING THE NIPPLE
While the burner is operating turn the main burner control as far as possible to the left & rapidy back again, whereby the cleaning neddle will clean the nipple. Have a match ready in case the flame is exinguised.

SHUTTING OFF
Shut off the stove by turning the main burner control to the right. If there are children on board - release the tank pressure.
