MSR Superfly Instruction Manual page 2

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid being killed or seriously injured, READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW
ALL warnings and instructions in this manual before you use this stove.
This stove is a lightweight, compact device made for cooking outdoors. Please
consult with your local outdoor retailer to learn more about cooking outdoors. Seek
qualified instruction before you venture outdoors.
You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your group. This
manual is not intended to replace your good judgment.
Fuel Canister Safety
This stove uses a liquid pressurized gas (LPG) canister that is highly flammable and
explosive. Use only MSR ® premium blend canister fuel, 70 Butane/30 Propane
or 80 IsoButane/20 Propane mix, certified to EN 417 (4 ounces/113 g or 8
ounces/227 g). For any fuel canister, follow this safety information:
• Listen and smell for leaking gas. Leaking gas is a serious hazard. LPG is
invisible and odorless, and strong odorant additives can fade over time.
Leaks are not always detectable by smell. Do not use this stove if it is leak-
ing, damaged, or does not operate properly.
• Check that the stove and fuel canister connection is secure and tight. If the
connection does not look or feel secure, or if you hear or smell leaking gas,
do not use stove or canister. Move stove to a well-ventilated area away from
any ignition source to locate and stop the leak. Only check for leaks out-
doors using soapy water. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame.
• Only change the canister outside and away from people.
• Never use fuel canisters larger than 8 ounces (227 g) or more than 4 inches
(10 cm) in height, because oversized canisters increase stove instability.
• Check the seals before connecting a new fuel canister to the stove. Do not
use stove if seals are damaged or worn.
• Keep stove and fuel canister away from other heat sources. If you expose the
fuel canister to high heat, the canister will explode or leak and you can be
killed or seriously burned.
• Follow all warnings on fuel canister regarding use and storage.

WARNING
Never over tighten fuel canister to stove. Over tightening can damage
stove or canister causing fuel to leak. Leaking fuel can cause fire, burns,
severe injury or death.
Use extreme caution when using stove in temperatures below freezing. In
freezing temperatures O-rings can stiffen and leak fuel. Always check for
fuel leaks before and after lighting stove. Use of a leaking stove can cause
fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Keep children far away from stove and fuel—Cascade Designs, Inc. rec-
ommends no less than 10 feet (3+ meters). Never leave a burning or hot
stove unattended. An unattended stove can lead to fire and/or a situation
where children, pets, or the unwary can be burned, injured, or killed.

WARNING
Always disconnect stove from canister before storing it. Failure to discon-
nect stove from canister before storing may cause fuel to leak and cause
fire, burns, severe injury or death. Always store fuel canisters in a well-
ventilated location away from any possible heat or ignition source such
as: water heaters, stoves, pilot lights, or furnaces; or where temperatures
exceed 120 F (49 C). Storing fuel canisters near any heat or ignition
source or where temperatures exceed 120 F (49 C), can result in the can-
ister exploding and causing fire, burns, severe injury or death.
