Things you should know

1. It is unsafe and illegal in some places to store or use propane cylinders of greater
than 1.14 kg (2.5 lbs) water capacity (approximately 1 lb. propane) in occupied enclosures.
2. If using refillable propane cylinder, use only Coleman parts and accessories.
3. The usual storage areas for camping and picnic equipment are the basement, attic, or
garage. To avoid the accumulation of dust, cobwebs, etc., that is common in these areas,
place your stove in optional carry case (sold separately) or a plastic bag and seal it with a
rubber band.
4. For repair service call one of the numbers listed on the cover of this manual for location of
your nearest Coleman Service Center. If product must be mailed to Service Center, attach to
product your name, address and a description of problem and mail to Service Center with

passages clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
-Gas odor
-Stove makes popping noises
-Smoky flame.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner orifices. This condition can
damage the stove and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by
using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away
small particles.

soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.
• If the stove has been left uncovered and is wet from rain, snow, yard
sprinklers, etc., allow to dry (at least 30 minutes prior to use).

occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check for corroded areas
and repair them promptly.
