  DANGER

 
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.

●

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.

  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.
