POL (Put On Left) valve. The tank must be constructed and marked in such
a way as to comply with the specifications for LP gas tanks by the U.S.
Department ofTransportation (DOT).
6. The use of the Propane Stove must be in conformity with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the standard for storage and Handling of
Liquified Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58. For Canada, the use must be in
accordance with the current CAN/CGA B149.2 installation codes.
CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION HAZARD
1. The Propane Stove is an unvented LP Gas-fired stove. It must never
be used inside vehicles, campers, in a house, or any other sealed
structure. Carbon monoxide is produced during operation and is
DEADLY in a closed environment. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, the Propane Stove may not be working properly or is
improperly vented. Get fresh air immediately.
2. If you smell gas: Shut off gas to the appliance. Extinguish any open
flame. Never light a match. Never turn on an electrical switch. Evacuate
the area at once. Call for professional help.
RISK OF FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
1. Do not store extra propane tanks in the vicinity of the Propane Stove
or any other appliance.
2. If gas is smelled during operation, immediately close the valve on the
propane tank. Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added
to propane/LP gas to enable you to smell the gas if it may be leaking.
3. If the Propane Stove shuts off during operation, close the valve on
the propane tank. Check the amount of gas in the tank and wait 5
minutes for the gas to clear before restarting. If it continues to shut off
during operation, have it serviced by a qualified technician.
4. Never place the Propane Stove within 15 feet of flammable objects
such as wood, trees, overhangs, and umbrellas. This stove also
requires a clearance of at least 3 feet from non-flammable materials
to allow proper combustion.
SKU For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 4

6. Always operate the Propane Stove with the propane tank in its
vertical upright position, on a non-combustible surface. While in
operation, do not tilt or lean the propane tank on its side. Never turn the
tank upside down, not even when it seems empty, as this may cause
clogging of valves and components which could lead to dangerous
flare-ups or fire.
7. This Propane Stove must be positioned and operated so that it is not
directly exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water.
8. Make sure to remove ALL packing materials before using the
Propane Stove.
RISK OF BURNS -- STOVE GETS VERY HOT DURING USE.
1. Do not attempt to move the Propane Stove while it is in operation.
Turn it off and wait one-half hour until it cools down before moving.
2. Do not touch the Grill(s) or Burner(s) while the Propane Stove is lit.
Before servicing, wait one-half hour for the Propane Stove to cool down.
3. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition.
4. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the
area of the Propane Stove.
5. Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the
Propane Stove, or placed on or near the Stove.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. WARNING! Always make sure to close the valve on the propane tank
(not included) prior to assembling the Propane Stove, performing maintenance, or
making any adjustments to the unit.
2. CAUTION! This product is
machine manufactured . Be aware of sharp
edges. Use heavy duty work gloves and ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles when assembling.
3. Turn the Propane Stove upside down, and attach a Rubber Foot (7) to each
corner of the unit. (See Assy. Diagram.)
4. For double-burner models only, the Temperature Control Knobs (4) must be
attached. To do so, loosen the counter-sunk Screw in the Knob. Insert the Knob
onto the Burner Control Shaft by aligning the flat edges of the Knob and Shaft.
Then, firmly tighten the Screw. (See Assy. Diagram.)
WARNING: The Propane Stove requires the attachment and use of the Model
91357 or Model 91359 LP Regulator & Hose Kit (UL®Listed) which are sold
separately by Harbor Freight Tools. (See Figure A.)
5. To attach the Model 91357 or Model 91359 LP Regulator & Hose Kit to the
Propane Stove, remove the plastic protective cap from the Inlet Connection
Nozzle (5) on the Propane Stove. Next, wrap the male threads of the Inlet
Connection Nozzle with about 4 inches of pipe thread seal tape (not included).
Then, screw the Hose Connector firmly onto the Inlet Connection Nozzle.

caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied
by the operator.

7. NOTE: The propane tank used must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP propane cylinders by the U.S. Department of
Transportation. (See Figure A.)
8. To connect to the propane tank, first make sure the Temperature Control Knob
(4) of the Propane Stove is in its “OFF” position. Wrap the male threads of the
propane tank’s discharge pipe with about 4 inches of pipe thread seal tape.
Then, screw the Gas Valve of the LP Regulator & Hose Kit firmly onto the propane
tank’s discharge pipe (wrench tighten). (See Figure A.)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION! Always use clean equipment and utensils. Before using the
Propane Stove, and after using this product, clean all parts in warm, clean water
and anti-bacterial soap. Then, thoroughly dry.
2. NOTE: Higher altitudes may affect cooking efficiency of the Propane Stove.
3. Make sure the Propane Stove and propane tank are located on a clean, dry,
level surface capable of supporting the weight of the Stove and propane
tank. Keep the Propane Stove and propane tank away from other flammable
objects.
4. Check to make sure the Temperature Control Knob (4) on the Propane Stove is
in its “OFF” position. Open the gas valve on the propane tank and check and
smell for gas leaks. Perform a bubble test by applying warm soapy water over
every joint, regulator, fitting, and anywhere else there may be a possible leak.
Observe carefully to see if bubbles expand, indicating a leak. A large leak can
blow the soapy solution away instead of forming bubbles. If leaks are found, do
not use the Propane Stove until the leaks have been stopped. After testing,
make sure to close the gas valve on the propane tank.
5. For manual ignition models, open the gas valve on the propane tank. Apply a
lighted match to the Burner (2) which is to be lit. Next, push the Temperature
Control Knob (4) and turn it to its “ON” position. Once the Burner is lit, safely
dispose of the match and adjust the Temperature Control Knob to the desired
setting. (See Assy. Diagram.)
6. For Piezo Electric ignition models, a Burner (2) can be lit by pushing and turning
the Temperature Control Knob (4) to its “ON” position without having to use a
match. Once the Burner is lit, adjust the Temperature Control Knob to the desired
setting. NOTE: If the Burner does not light up, turn the Temperature Control Knob
to its “OFF” position and wait 5 minutes before trying again.

10. The propane tank must be stored outside. If the Propane Stove is to be stored
inside a building, the propane tank should be turned off, removed from the
Stove, and left outside. Propane tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of reach of children. Disconnected propane tanks must have
threaded valve plugs (not included) tightly installed, and must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

is on or while it is hot. Do not touch any area of the Burner (2), Grill
(3), or top of the Stove’s Body (1). Serious burns will occur. Turn
the Propane Stove off and wait one-half hour until it cools down
before moving. (See Assy. Diagram.)
