INHALATION HAZARDS
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
1. Using a propane stove
indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES.
Stove exhaust contains
carbon monoxide. This is
a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home, tent,
camper, or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away
from windows, doors, and vents.
Early signs of carbon monoxide2.
poisoning resemble the u, 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.
Propane Gas
If you smell gas:1.
Shut off gas to the stove.a.
Extinguish any open ame.b.
Do not light a match or operate anc.
electrical switch.
Evacuate the area at once.d.
Call for professional help.e.
Propane gas is a gas you cannot see2.
or smell. Propane gas normally has
an odorant added to aid detection.
The odorant smells like “rotten eggs“.
The odorant may fade over time, so
leaking gas may not be detectable by
smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and3.
will collect in low areas.
RISK OF FIRE AND/OR
EXPLOSION
1. Do not store extra
propane tanks in the
vicinity of the Propane
Stove.
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.
If the Propane Stove shuts off3.
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 qualied technician.
Never place the Propane Stove4.
within 15 feet of ammable objects
such as wood, trees, overhangs,
and umbrellas. This stove also
requires a clearance of at least 3
feet from non-ammable materials
to allow proper combustion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Only 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.
NOTE: High altitudes affect cooking
efciency.
Locate the Propane Stove and1.
propane tank on a clean, dry, level
surface capable of supporting the
weight of the Stove, the utensils and

other ammable objects.
Check to make sure the Temperature2.
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, tting, 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.

to its “ON” position. Once the Burner
is lit, safely dispose of the match and
adjust the Temperature Control Knob
to the desired setting.
For Piezo Electric ignition model4.

Control Knob to its “OFF” position
and wait 5 minutes before trying
again.
