DANGER ,
CAUTION .
WARNING
This product is fueled by propane gas.
Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flam-
mable. 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 pro-
pane 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.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a
ventilated area out of the reach of children. Any
indoor storage shall comply with Section 2 Minor
storage and usage of AS/NZS 1596. If connected to
a refillable cylinder, turn off cylinder valve when the
unit is not in use.
Disconnect propane gas cylinder before storing
the stove.
EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other
ignition sources or where temperatures exceed
120 degrees F (49°C).
Propane is heavier than air and can
accumulate- in low places. If you smell gas,
leave the area immediately.
Always attach or detach LPG bottles in a well
ventilated location, preferably outside, away
from people and away from any sources of
ignition; such as naked flames, pilot flames,
electric heaters/equipment.
Never install or remove LPG bottles while stove
is hot to touch.
During lighting and operation, this product can
be a source of ignition. Never use the stove
