CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate personal injury, or
property damage.

WARNING

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
skillet. Do not attempt to adjust.

• The installation 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 and/or boats.

• This appliance is not intended for commercial use.

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 skillet is lighted, near flame, pilot lights,
other ignition sources or while outdoor skillet is
hot to touch.

• During operation, this product can be a source
of ignition. Never use the skillet 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 skillet indoors or in garages,
breezeways, sheds or enclosed areas.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This skillet 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 skillet.

• 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 house, camper, tent, vehi­cle or other unventilated or enclosed
areas. This skillet consumes air (oxygen).
Do not use in unventilated or enclosed
areas to avoid endangering your life.

• 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. Turn off propane and disconnect
cylinder when not in use.

• Cylinders must be stored out of reach
of children.

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.
