4. Fuel Types

The WhisperLite Universal is designed to operate with a variety of fuel types, offering flexibility for different environments and availability:

  • Isobutane-propane Canister Fuel: Provides clean burning and ease of use. The stove can operate with the canister inverted for improved cold weather and low-fuel performance.
  • White Gas (Naphtha): A highly efficient and clean-burning liquid fuel, ideal for most conditions.
  • Kerosene: A readily available fuel type, suitable for international travel where white gas may be scarce.
  • Unleaded Gasoline: Can be used as an emergency fuel, though it may lead to more frequent maintenance due to additives.

Ensure you use the correct jet for your chosen fuel type. The small parts kit contains different jets for optimal performance with each fuel.

5. セットアップ

一般的なセットアップ

  1. Unfold the stove legs completely to ensure a stable cooking platform.
  2. Place the heat reflector on the ground beneath the stove.
  3. Position the windscreen around the stove, leaving a small gap for airflow and fuel line access.

Liquid Fuel Setup (White Gas, Kerosene, Unleaded Gasoline)

  1. Ensure the correct jet is installed for your chosen liquid fuel.
  2. Attach the fuel pump securely to the MSR fuel bottle.
  3. Connect the fuel line from the stove to the fuel pump.
  4. Pump the fuel bottle 10-20 times to pressurize it.

Canister Fuel Setup (Isobutane-propane)

  1. Ensure the correct jet is installed for canister fuel.
  2. Screw the fuel line directly onto the threaded canister valve.
  3. For optimal cold weather performance or when fuel levels are low, use the included canister stand to invert the canister.

6. 操作手順

Lighting the Stove (Liquid Fuel)

  1. Open the fuel valve slightly to allow a small amount of fuel to flow into the priming cup. Close the valve.
  2. Ignite the fuel in the priming cup. Allow it to burn until almost extinguished (this preheats the generator).
  3. Slowly open the fuel valve again. The stove should ignite with a strong, blue flame.

Lighting the Stove (Canister Fuel)

  1. Ensure the canister is upright for initial ignition.
  2. Slowly open the fuel valve on the canister.
  3. Ignite the gas at the burner head.
  4. Adjust the flame to your desired intensity. For liquid feed (inverted canister), wait approximately 30 seconds after ignition before inverting the canister.

Adjusting Flame and Cooking

Use the fuel valve to adjust the flame intensity. The WhisperLite Universal offers good simmer control for various cooking needs. Place your cookware securely on the serrated pot supports.
