2. Attach the Propane Cylinder

Locate the gas regulator arm. Push the regulator arm into the connection port on the side of the stove and turn the knob clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten. Attach a 16.4 oz. propane cylinder (sold separately) to the threaded end of the regulator arm by screwing it clockwise until snug. Ensure there are no gas leaks by listening for a hissing sound or applying a soapy water solution to the connection points; if bubbles appear, tighten the connection or replace the cylinder.

Operating Instructions

1. Lighting the Burners

Ensure the propane cylinder is securely attached and the stove is on a stable surface. Turn the control knob for the desired burner counter-clockwise to the "LIGHT" or "HIGH" position. Immediately apply a lit match or a long-stem lighter to the burner. The burner should ignite with a blue flame. Adjust the flame intensity using the control knob.

2. Adjusting Flame and Cooking

Each burner has an independent control knob allowing for precise temperature adjustments from low simmer to high heat. Place your cookware on the grate over the lit burner. Monitor your cooking and adjust the flame as needed.

3. Shutting Down the Stove

When finished cooking, turn both burner control knobs clockwise to the "OFF" position. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator arm by turning it counter-clockwise. Store the stove in a cool, dry place.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Stove:

Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning. Remove the grate and burner caps. Wipe down the stove's surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Clean the grate and burner caps separately. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and storing.

Storage:

Store the stove in its original closed position in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not store propane cylinders indoors or in enclosed spaces. Ensure the stove is clean and dry to prevent rust and maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Burner Not Lighting:

• Check propane cylinder connection: Ensure it's securely attached and not empty.
• Check gas flow: Listen for a faint hissing sound when the knob is turned to "LIGHT". If no sound, the cylinder might be empty or the regulator is not properly connected.
• Ensure proper ignition: Apply flame directly to the burner immediately after turning the knob.

Inconsistent Flame:

• Check propane level: A low propane level can cause inconsistent flame.
• Verify regulator connection: A loose connection can affect pressure.
• Clean burners: Clogged burner ports can lead to uneven flames. Refer to the cleaning section.

Gas Leak Smell:

• Immediately turn off all burner knobs and disconnect the propane cylinder.
• Check all connections for tightness.
• If the smell persists, do not use the stove and contact Coleman customer support.
