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.

DANGER
EXPLOSION – FIRE HAZARD

• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 ºF (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 appliance is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while outdoor appliance is hot to touch.
• During lighting and operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Never use the appliance 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
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This appliance 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 appliance.
• 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 appliance consumes air (oxygen) and produces carbon monoxide (CO). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

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 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.

CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and appliance 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.

WARNING
BURN HAZARD

• Never leave appliance unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.

HOW TO USE

To Brew Coffee
WARNING To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure the carafe is squarely centered under the filter basket during the brew cycle. Brewed coffee and grounds, both in the filter basket and carafe, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If filter basket overflows, or if it fails to drain into carafe during brewing cycle, do not open or handle filter basket. Turn burner off and wait for contents to cool before handling.

Use only potable drinking water. Never use water from a lake or stream that has not been purified. Do not run any other liquid through the coffeemaker unit. Before making the first pot of coffee, operate the coffeemaker once using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues that remain in the system from the manufacturing process.

• Pull out filter holder, and insert an 8-12 basket style filter. (Fig. 7)

• Add desired amount of coffee. Shake lightly to level the coffee.

• Align the brim of filter holder with the slot and slide in. (Fig. 8)
  Note: Be sure filter is centered before inserting the filter holder.

• Fill the carafe with water to the desired capacity as marked. Maximum capacity of the coffeemaker is 10 cups.

• Open the reservoir lid and pour the desired amount of water from the carafe into the reservoir. (Fig. 9) Maximum capacity of the coffeemaker is 10 cups.
  Note: Check water level in reservoir regularly, burning appliance without water may cause fire hazard and burn hazard.

• Place the empty carafe onto the warming plate. (Fig. 10) Be sure the carafe is centered on the warming plate and is pressed against the Pause ‘N Serve lever to allow coffee to flow into the carafe.

Once coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete. Turn burner off and serve coffee.

To Light
DANGER
EXPLOSION – FIRE HAZARD
