Remove it from the tin case first, of course. Got the little needle tool for cleaning out the nozzle?
I have the needle tool, and the key, attached to the rest of the stove with a chain. I see how you use the key to adjust gas flow and lift the stove in and out of the housing. But I don't believe I've seen this stove in operation since some time in the 70s, and I want patting attention at the time.
