SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and propane connections for damage before attaching.

• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check that the connection is not cross-threaded and that it is tight. Perform another leak check. If there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and contact Coleman for service or repairs.

• Use for water heating only. Never alter in any way or use with any device or part not expressly approved by Coleman.

• Always use in an upright position.

CAUTION

WARNING

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

• Disconnect propane before storing the heater.

Not for home or recreational vehicle use.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our products.

Check with your local fire safety authority if you have questions about use.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specific uses.Your local authorities can advise you about these.

• Never refill disposable cylinders.

• Use the preset regulator that is installed in the water heater. Do not attempt to adjust.

Recharger cord storage compartment – 12V auto recharger and 110V/120V household recharger cords are stored here (cords included)

Control knob – push to turn in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust knob to desired water temperature.

Battery compartment – 6 volt rechargeable lead acid battery is located in compartment on opposite side of heater. Battery operates the pump & circuitry and has a 40-minute run time.

• Charge the battery. Plug either 12 Volt Auto Recharger Cord or 110V/120 Volt Household Recharger Cord into unit and the power source.

• Charging LED should come on. Allow eight hours to fully charge the battery. RED color indicates a charging battery. A GREEN color indicates a fully charged battery.

• Charge the battery before using your water heater for the first time (Fig. 1).

• Clean before first use. It is strongly recommended that you clean the heater prior to using

for the first time. Follow the simple steps on page 6 before you leave home, and then clean at least once a year or when the hose becomes discolored with a white calcium build up.

• Select a level, sturdy surface for your water heater. A picnic table or camp table is ideal. Do not operate Hot Water on DemandTMunit from a position directly on the ground. (This allows water to drain, preventing damage while the unit is off in

freezing temperatures.)

• Fill the 5-gallon collapsible water container with water – use only potable

drinking water

. Never use water from a lake or

stream that has not been purified. Do not run any other liquid through Hot Water on DemandTMunit.

• Unwrap the pump hose

from around the water heater.

• Place the water carrier at a level below the water heater for proper drainage.

• Screw the water pump to the opening of the water container & hand tighten.

• Lay the water container on its side so the pump is towards the bottom of the container (step 2).

• Make sure to rotate the pump where “THIS SIDE UP” is facing upward so pump will prime and water will flow.

Step 1: Screw the Pump onto the opening of the Water Container and Hand Tighten.

Step 2: Lay the Water Container on its side so the Pump is towards the bottom of the container.

You can also submerge The Water Pump into an open water container such as a cooler.
