DANGER

General Safety Information cont.

• BURN HAZARD

• Never leave stove unattended when hot or in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

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.

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.

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 dur-

ing 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

unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life. • 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. Bubbles indicate a leak. Never use a flame. 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.

• 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.

Preheating:

■ Allow the grilling surface to pre-

heat on full power for 1 minute to

reach the ideal cooking tempera-

ture for grilling food.

Cooking:

■ The grilling surface has been

treated with a high quality, non-

stick coating on which food can be

cooked in a healthy way without

adding fat.

■ As the fat is collected in the

water tray, the food is cooked (with

no residual or burned fat) and

remains tasty and tender.

■ The grilling surface reaches its

highest temperature (ideal for sear-

ing grilled meat) after one minute of

pre-heating.

■ Never leave the cooking plate on

without food placed on it for longer

than the one minute preheating

time, otherwise you will damage

the special coating.

■ Place the food on the grilling sur-

face and then use the knob that

controls the gas output to adjust

the cooking temperature to suit

your requirements.

■ It is also possible to adjust the

cooking intensity by positioning the

food at different places on the

grilling surface. The temperature is

higher in the center and lower

towards the outer edge.

■ Do not handle the grilling surface

when it is in use. To add water to

the water tray, pour into the hole

marked “A”.

■ Wipe clean with soft cloth and

mild dish detergent. Do not use

abrasives.

■ Be sure GRILLING SURFACE

and stove are cool (approximately

15 minutes) and PROPANE

CYLINDER has been removed.

■ Lift off GRILLING SURFACE &

WATER PAN.

■ GRILL and DRIP TRAY are dish-

washer safe.
