    I think the question is how do you use the alcohol part of the stovetop.  I have not used mine ever...but I believe you have to remove the electric burner and then underneath that is the alcohol burner and that's also where you fill it.  Again I never used mine...but there is a sticker on the underside of the glass cover that explains it.

    You will see a swing knob on the bottom edge of the stove.  Open it and you will see a small cup to hold alcohol. There are special "cotton-looking" wicks that you get, their round discs about 1/2" thick that go into the cup.  You soak the wick with denaturalized alcohol (sold in camping section of stores).  Light the alcohol and open/close the burner to determine the amount of heat you want. Note, they don't work that great, takes forever to boil a pot of water.

    Look at this picture, you will see the swing knobs a the bottom of each element.
