CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts or combustion of this fuel, contains Carbon Monoxide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

DANGER

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) and produces carbon monoxide (CO). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

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 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.

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 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 and stove griddle (if equipped) frequently to avoid grease accumulation and possible grease fires.

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

BURN HAZARD
