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 operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Never use
the stove in spaces that contain or may contain volatile or airborne com-
bustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust par-
ticles or unknown chemicals. Minimum clearances from combustible
materials: one foot from the sides & four feet from the top.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion
chamber.
WARNING
We cannot foresee every use which may be made of this cooking stove.
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.
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This stove is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances pro-
duce 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 warn-
ings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the cook
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, or other unventilated or enclosed areas.
This cook stove consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilat-
ed or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.
DANGER
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 match-
es, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from
the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdraw.
• Propane gas should be stored and used in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when
not in use.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:
WARNING: Propane and byproducts of combustion of propane contain
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
• BURN HAZARD
• Never leave the outdoor stove unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
• SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure propane tank valve out-
let is clean.
• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy
water. Never use a flame.
• Use as a cooking appliance only. Never alter in any way or use with any
device or part not expressly approved by Coleman.
