DANGER

English-2

• 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.

WARNING

DANGER

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

• Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other
ignition sources or where temperatures exceed
120 degrees F (49°C).

• Propane is heavier than air and can
accumulate in low places. If you smell gas,
leave the area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane tank while
outdoor stove is lighted, near flame, pilot lights,
other ignition sources or while outdoor stove is
hot to touch.

• During lighting and operation, this product can
be a source of ignition. Never use the stove in
spaces that contain or may contain volatile or
airborne combustibles, or products such as
gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles
or unknown chemicals. Minimum clearances
from combustible materials: 12 inches from the
sides and 48 inches from the top.

• Provide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber.

WARNING

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 came with the
stove. Do not attempt to adjust.

• Use only Coleman®accessories or parts.

WARNING

• BURN HAZARD

DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This stove is a combustion appliance. All
combustion appliances produce carbon
monoxide (CO) during the combustion
process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of
CO if used and maintained in accordance with
all warnings and instructions. Do not block air
flow into or out of the stove.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death.You
can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an
invisible killer. If these symptoms are present
during operation of this product get fresh

air immediately!

• For outdoor use only.

• Never use inside house, camper, tent,

vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed
areas. This stove consumes air (oxygen).
Do not use in unventilated or enclosed
areas to avoid endangering your life.

CAUTION

• SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean.
Inspect propane cylinder and stove 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 as a cooking appliance only. Never alter
in any way or use with any device or part not
expressly approved by Coleman.

• Clean stove frequently to avoid grease
accumulation and possible grease fires.
