Safety Information
Always ensure the table is stable and properly assembled before use. Keep heavy items away from the edges to prevent tipping. Do not leave the table unattended while in use.
Setup Instructions
Setting up your Coleman Pack-Away Portable Camp Kitchen is a straightforward process designed for quick deployment.
- Unfold the Main Table: Begin by unlatching the main table unit. Gently unfold the table, extending its legs until they are fully locked into place. Ensure all four legs are securely extended and the table is stable.
- Extend Table Legs (if applicable): If your model includes leg extensions for increased height, insert them into the bottom of each main table leg until they snap securely.
- Attach the Side Table: The side table unit folds out like an accordion. Extend its frame and attach it to the main table using the designated connection points. Ensure the side table is firmly secured to the main unit.
- Install Crossbars: Insert the crossbars into the side table frame. These bars provide support for your stove or cooler and allow for width adjustment to fit various appliances.
- Set Up Utensil Hooks and Lantern Pole: On the back edge of the main table, locate the slots for the utensil hook assembly and the lantern pole. Assemble the utensil hooks and slide them into their designated slots. For the lantern pole, connect the sections and insert the base into its slot, securing it with the provided strap.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your camp kitchen.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before folding and storing to prevent corrosion and mildew.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Table feels flimsy or unstable. | Legs not fully extended or locked; uneven ground. | Ensure all legs are fully extended and the locking mechanisms are engaged. If on uneven ground, try to find a flatter surface or use shims under the legs for stability. |
| Difficulty folding/unfolding. | Hinges or joints may be stiff or obstructed. | Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to hinges if they are stiff. |
| Damage during transport. | Improper packing or heavy items placed on top. | Always ensure the unit is securely packed and avoid placing excessively heavy or sharp objects on top of the folded kitchen during transport. Consider a protective bag if available. |
