age. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your

Keep stove and canister away from other heat sources. Never use cookware
or an Outback Oven™with a diameter larger than 9 inches (23 centimeters).
Oversized cookware can overheat the fuel canister. If you expose the canister to
high heat, it will explode and you can be killed or seriously burned.
Never let children use this stove. Keep children at least 10 feet (3 m) away from
the stove and cooking area, and supervise them at all times.

this Instruction Manual; (2) if you are not prepared or comfortable attending
to a burning and/or hot stove at all times; (3) if you observe leaking fuel; or
(4) if you observe any condition with the stove system or in the surrounding
environment that would make operation of an open flamed device danger-
ous. Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation leading
to fire, burns, severe injury or death.
This stove is designed for the outside (i.e., not within enclosed spaces of
any kind; e.g., tents) boiling of water or cooking of food only—never use
it for any other purpose. Use of stove within any enclosed space, or for a
purpose other than boiling water or cooking food can cause fire, burns,
severe injury or death.

consistent with these instructions voids warranty and can result in an unsafe
situation where fire, burns, severe injury or death can occur.

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, cetrtified to EN 417 (4 ounces/113 g or 8 ounces/227
g). Do not attempt to fit other types of gas canisters. For any fuel canister, follow this
safety information:
• Listenandsmellforleakinggas.Leakinggasisaserioushazard.LPGisinvis-
ible 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 leaking, damaged,
or does not operate properly.
• Checkthatthestoveandfuelcanisterconnectionissecureandtight.Ifthecon-
nection 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 outdoors 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

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. recom-
mends 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.
Keep combustibles at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from the top and sides
of a burning stove, or a stove that you are in the process of lighting. Keep
flammable liquids and vapors at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) away from the
top and sides of a burning stove, or a stove that you are in the process
of lighting. This stove can ignite combustible materials, flammable liquids
and vapors creating a situation where fire, burns, severe injury or death
can result.
Keep fuel canister away from the stove burner and other heat sources.
Position connected fuel canister so that it is as far away from the burner as
possible. Use of canister near burner or other heat sources can result in the
canister exploding and causing fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Never attempt to light stove if flame adjuster valve is left open. If flame
adjuster valve is left open, close it immediately and thoroughly ventilate
area before lighting stove. Failure to ventilate area can result in an explo-
sion that can cause fire, burns, severe injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING
Never place your head or body above the stove while lighting, or cook-
ing. Because stove maintains an open flame, placement of head or body
above stove is an unsafe practice that can cause fire, burns, severe injury
or death.
WARNING
Never move a burning or hot stove. Always extinguish stove and cool for
at least 5 minutes before moving. Moving a burning or hot stove can cause
fire, burns, severe injury or death. Never use cookware with a diameter
greater than 9 inches (23 centimeters). Never place and operate two or
more stoves together. Never operate stove with empty or dry cookware.
Never use non-MSR®reflectors or diffusers. Use of stove in any of the
proceeding manners can result in the fuel canister exploding and causing
fire, burns, severe injury or death. Never use cookware of any size that is
ill-suited and/or inappropriate for use with stove, particularly its pot sup-
ports (e.g., cookware with a convex or concave bottom, some enameled
cookware, etc.). Use of stove with ill-suited and/or inappropriate cookware
can result in cookware and/or stove instability and a situation where hot
cookware and/or cookware contents can spill and cause fire, burns, severe
injury or death.
WARNING
Always disconnect stove from canister before storing it. Failure to disconnect
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 canister exploding and
causing fire, burns, severe injury or death.
