Coleman 5453A Stove User Manual


 
English-2
• This product is fueled by propane gas.
Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flam-
mable. An odorant is normally added to help
detect leaks and can be described as a “rot-
ten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over
time so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible.
It can ignite by ignition sources including
matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of
any kind many feet away from the original
leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in
compliance with local ordinances and codes
or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when
not in use.
WARNING
DANGER
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other

• Propane is heavier than air and can
accumulate in low places. If you smell gas,
leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane tank while
outdoor stove is lighted, near flame, pilot
lights, other ignition sources or while outdoor
stove is hot to touch.

DANGER
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This stove is a combustion appliance. All
combustion appliances produce carbon mon-
oxide (CO) during the combustion process.
This product is designed to produce extreme-
ly minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if
used and maintained in accordance with all
warnings and instructions. Do not block air
flow into or out of the stove.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You
can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an
invisible killer. If these symptoms are present
during operation of this product get fresh
air immediately!
For outdoor use only.
Never use inside house, camper, tent,
vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed
areas. This stove consumes air (oxygen).
Do not use in unventilated or enclosed
areas to avoid endangering your life.
CAUTION
• SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean.
Inspect propane cylinder and stove propane
connections for damage before attaching.
• During set up, check all connections and
fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never
use a flame. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check
that the connection is not cross-threaded and
that it is tight. Perform another leak check. If
there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and
contact Coleman for service or repairs.
• Use as a cooking appliance only. Never alter
in any way or use with any device or part not
expressly approved by Coleman.
• Clean stove frequently to avoid grease accu-
mulation and possible grease fires.
