CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This appliance can produce carbon monoxide
which has no odor.
• Using it in an enclosed space can kill you.
• Never use this appliance in an enclosed space
such as a boat cabin, boat galley, camper, tent,
car or home.
DANGER
Only persons who can understand and follow the instructions should
use or service this outdoor grill.
If you need assistance or outdoor grill information such as an
instruction manual or labels, contact The Coleman Company, Inc.
CAUTION
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may
impair your ability to properly assemble or safely operate the
appliance.
• When cooking with oil or grease, always have a Type BC or ABC
fire extinguisher readily available. In the event of an oil or grease
fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately call the
fire department. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some
circumstances, contain the fire.
• When cooking, the appliance must be on a level, stable surface in
an area clear of combustible material. An asphalt surface (blacktop)
may not be acceptable for this purpose.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended. Keep children and pets
away from the appliance at all times.
• Do not move the appliance when in use.
• This appliance is not intended for and should never be used as
a heater.
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 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. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane tank while outdoor grill is lighted,
near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while outdoor grill is
hot to touch.
• During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Never use
the grill 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 distance from sides
and back of unit to walls or railings is 12 inches (30.5 cm). Do not
use under overhead unprotected combustible construction.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber.
• DO NOT use gas grill indoors or in garages, breezeways, sheds or
enclosed areas such as a boat cabin or boat galley.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
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 grill. Do not attempt
to adjust.
• The installation and use must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code.
• This appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles.
• This appliance is not intended to be installed in or on boats unless
mounted by a Coleman® rail or rod mount kit (sold separately).
• This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
WARNING

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:
WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts of combustion of this fuel, contain
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This grill 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 grill.
• 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. If stored indoors, detach cylinder
outdoors.
• Never use inside boat, house, camper, tent, vehicle or other
unventilated or enclosed areas.This grill consumes air
(oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to
avoid endangering your life.
DANGER
• 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.
• 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 and with the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) Standards A-1 (9), Marine Liquefied
Petroleum gas (LPG) Systems.
• Turn off propane and disconnect cylinder when not in use.
• Cylinders must be stored out of reach of children.
WARNING
• BURN HAZARD
• Never leave grill unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
• SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder
and grill 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 grill frequently to avoid grease accumulation and possible
grease fires.
CAUTION
• This grill is for use while the boat is anchored or moored. Never
operate grill while the boat is underway.
WARNING
Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Cylinders
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane) is highly
flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a
cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and
tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking
connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see
the section titled “LEAK CHECK”).
Your new grill is only to be operated with 16.4 oz. disposable propane
gas cylinders. DO NOT attempt to attach any other type of L.P. gas
connections or natural gas connections.

Maintenance
• About stainless steel - Stainless steel exposed to prolonged
periods of high heat will change color and texture. Coleman
grills require little preheating. Texture and color change is normal
on interior components and will not affect the operation or
performance of the product.
• Cleaning - Clean the exterior surface after every use. Use soapy
water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water and dry. We recommend covering the grill between uses.
Optional covers are available from Coleman retailers or direct
from Coleman.
CAUTION: Abrasive pads or cleaners will damage the finish.
• Interior components - Remove heavy residue from grill and
empty grease tray between each use. We recommend cleaning
all accessible surfaces, and all removable components, at least
once a year, depending on amount of use, and always prior to
long term storage.
• Grill grates - Clean with brass wire brush while grill is warm.
Wash with soapy water and dry prior to storage.
• Ceramic electrode - Located just beside the burner, it should be
kept clean of grease and debris. Be careful not to damage the
ceramic insulator or bend the wire. See page 11 for proper
electrode spark adjustment.
• Control valve - All valves are set and tested at our factory.
Do not attempt to adjust or disassemble the valve in any way.
Call Coleman if you suspect it's not adjusted properly. Clean
valve with a clean cloth and remove any debris obstructing the
gas outlet orifice.
