Package Contents

The Coleman 1900 Collection 3-in-1 Propane Camping Stove package includes:

• Coleman 1900 Collection Propane Camping Stove
• Cast-iron grill accessory
• Cast-iron griddle accessory
• Propane regulator hose

Setup Instructions

1. Unpack and Place: Remove the stove from its packaging and place it on a stable, level surface away from any combustible materials.
2. Open Stove and Deploy Wind Guards: Unlatch the heavy-duty latch and open the stove lid. Extend the side wind guards by pulling them outwards until they lock into place. These guards help shield the burners from wind.
3. Connect Propane Cylinder: Ensure the stove's control knobs are in the "OFF" position. Connect the propane regulator hose to the stove's gas inlet. Then, securely attach a 16.4 oz (1 lb) propane cylinder (sold separately) to the regulator. Hand-tighten only. Do not overtighten.
4. Install Cooking Surfaces: Place the cast-iron grill grates directly over the burners. For grilling or griddling, position the cast-iron grill or griddle accessory over one or both burners as desired. Ensure they are seated securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Lighting the Burners:
   • Ensure the propane cylinder is connected and the control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
   • Slowly turn the desired burner control knob counter-clockwise to the "LIGHT" position. You will hear gas flowing.
   • Press the red rotary ignition button firmly until the burner ignites. If it does not light within a few seconds, turn the knob to "OFF", wait a minute, and try again.
   • Once lit, adjust the flame to your desired cooking temperature using the control knob.
2. Adjusting Flame: The stove features improved knob rotation for precise temperature control. Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the flame and counter-clockwise to increase it.
3. Using Grill and Griddle: The removable cast-iron grill and griddle accessories can be placed over one or both burners. Ensure they are stable before placing food on them.
4. Turning Off: To turn off a burner, rotate the control knob clockwise until it clicks into the "OFF" position. After cooking, turn off the propane cylinder valve.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cool Down: Always allow the stove and all cooking surfaces to cool completely before cleaning.
• Grates and Griddles: The cast-iron grill grates and griddle accessories should be cleaned after each use. For best results and to prevent rust, season the cast iron regularly. Wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil before storing.
• Stove Body: Wipe down the stove body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Burners: Keep burner ports clean to ensure efficient operation. Use a soft brush to remove any food debris.
• Storage: Ensure the stove is clean and dry before storing. Close the lid and secure the heavy-duty latch. Use the built-in carry handle for easy transport. Store in a dry, protected area.

Troubleshooting

• Burner Not Lighting:
  • Check if the propane cylinder is properly connected and has gas.
  • Ensure the control knob is turned to the "LIGHT" position and the ignition button is pressed firmly.
  • Verify that the burner ports are not clogged.
• Low Flame/Uneven Flame:
  • Check propane cylinder for low fuel.
  • Ensure the regulator hose is not kinked or obstructed.
  • Clean burner ports if they appear clogged.
• Gas Leak Smell:
  • Immediately turn off the stove and propane cylinder.
