1) Read and follow all instructions.
2) When used in an enclosed area, allow for ample ventilation.
3) Do not expose the propane cylinder to excessive heat.
4) Always inspect the lantern, propane cylinder and connectors for damage, debris or dirt before attaching the cylinder to the stove.
5) Always attach/detach the propane cylinder away from any open flame or pilot light and only after the lantern has cooled.
6) Always inspect the burner holes for obstructions prior to operation. Do not operate if any blockage is found.
7) Do not use or operate if either the lantern or propane cylinder is found to be damaged.
8) Always disconnect the propane cylinder when not in use and/or transporting. Store in and upright position and in a cool, well ventilated area.
9) Be sure to tightly secure all connections to the propane cylinder prior to usage.
10) Absolutely never operate the lantern near any flammable liquids or vapors and keep all flammable or combustible materials beyond the
clearance zone as indicated on the back panel.
11) Discontinue operation and close valve if:
• Ambient temperature drops below-10ºF.
• There is no fuel remaining in the propane cylinder.
• Lighting cannot be performed quickly and easily.
• Combustion becomes unstable or there are repeated flame-outs.
12) Absolutely do not use as a space heater, or in a tent.

2) Make sure the valve knob is turned off (twist in a clockwise direction).
3) Make sure the rubber seal is clean, undamaged, and in its proper centered position. The rubber seal is part of the valve adapter assembly and
the cylinder connection is to be made to the underside of the valve adapter assembly.
4) Screw the propane gas cylinder onto the lantern valve adapter. Hand tighten only.
5) Apply soapy water to the connection to check for leakage. (Leaking gas will form bubbles).
WARNING
• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• Supply plenty of fresh air when using the lantern. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air or ventilation air.
• Do not use as a space heater.
• Lanterns produce heat. Keep lantern away from burnable materials. Do not place the lantern any closer than 24” to combustibles.

Owner’s Manual and Operating Instructions
for Double Mantle Propane Lanterns
Model 172
APPROVED BY CSA

Propane gas is highly flammable and under pressure in the cylinder. Do Not store or use gasoline or other flammable
liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this stove. If you detect the odor of gas, immediately evacuate the enclosed area and
contact the appropriate authorities/professionals.
SET UP/ OPERATING/ STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE LANTERN
1. Remove the bail handle.
2. Carefully attach a silk mantle to each burner in the groove on the burner assembly.
3. Prime the mantles by holding a lighted match near the bottom of each mantle. This will reduce the mantle in size
and causes it to turn a gray / white in color.
4. Do not touch the mantle after it has been primed, as it will easily break apart.
5. Carefully place the glass globe over the burner assembly and into the globe frame.
6. Insert the bail handle through the holes in the hood.
7. Place the hood with the bail connected, onto the threaded post and secure with the knurled knob.
Do not over-tighten knob.
8. Be sure the valve is in the off position.
9. Attach lantern to a 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder (not included).
10. Place the disposable cylinder into the plastic lantern base with feet extended.
OPERATING THE LANTERN
1. Attach two new mantles to the fuel outlet posts by squeezing the wire and releasing.
2. Place a lighted match at the lower edge of the mantle and slowly open the gas valve approximately half way.
3. Once the mantle is lit, adjust the gas valve to the desired output.
4. Please note it may take a few moments for the mantle to heat evenly and glow uniformly. This is normal.
5. Please Note: The glass globe and metal bail can become very hot during operation. While it is not recommended
to move the lantern during use, if it becomes necessary to relocate the lantern during operation please use a
glove to prevent possible burns from handling the hot metal bail.
6. After use allow 15 minutes for the lantern to cool before attempting to remove the LP cylinder and storage.
7. To remove the LP cylinder, firmly grasp the lantern and carefully rotate the cylinder in a counter-clockwise
direction. Remove the cylinder and store separately.
CLEANING YOUR LANTERN
1. Allow the lantern to cool completely.
2. Carefully remove the propane cylinder by grasping the lantern and rotating the cylinder in a clockwise direction.
3. Unscrew the lantern top nut.
4. Carefully pull outward on the metal bail and remove from the lantern frame.
5. Lift the metal lantern top off the center lantern frame post.
6. Remove the glass globe and clean with a soft cloth.
7. Remove the used silk mantles and replace with new ones.
8. Replace the glass globe and lantern top. Be sure to align the holes in the lantern top with holes on the inner
lantern frame.
9. Replace the metal bail handle into the lantern top holes.
10. Reinstall and tighten the lantern top nut. Hand tighten only.
STORING YOUR LANTERN
1. Turn off the lantern and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
2. Remove the disposable propane cylinder.
3. Do Not store with the propane cylinder attached.
4. Place lantern into the Lantern Case for protective storage.
5. It is a good idea to store additional silk mantles in the protective carry case.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & REPLACEMENT PARTS
