CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:  
DANGER  
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  
WARNING  
• 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.  
• BURN HAZARD  
• Never leave stove unattended when hot or in use.  
• Keep out of reach of children.  
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symtoms, watery eyes,  
headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You cant 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). Do not use in unven-  
tilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.  
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 anoth-  
er leak check. If there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and contact  
Coleman for service or repairs.  
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.  
• 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 frequently to avoid grease accumulation and possible  
grease fires.  
• 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.
