DANGER

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

WARNING: This fuel, and by products

of combustion of this fuel, contain
chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.

● 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

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. During stove set-up,
check all fittings for leaks using
soapy water. Never use a flame.

WARNING

- 3 -

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.

DANGER

BURN HAZARD

● Never leave stove unattended
when hot or in use.

● Keep out of reach of children.

WARNING

EXPLOSION-FIREHAZARD

● Never store propane near high
heat, open flames, pilot lights,
direct sunlight, other ignition
sources or where temperatures
exceed 120 °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.

DANGER

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.
