WARNING

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

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.

• 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-

CAUTION

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.

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
