WARNING
WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts of
combustion of this fuel, contain chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made
of our products. Check with your local fire
safety authority if you have questions about
use.
DANGER
Failure to comply with the precautions and
instructions provided with this heater can result in
death, serious bodily injury and property loss or
damage from hazards of fire, explosion, burn
and/or asphyxiation.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and
heat producing products for specific uses.Your local
authorities can advise you about these.
WARNING
Only persons who can understand and follow the
instructions should use or service this heater.
• Never refill disposable cylinders.
• Use the preset regulator that came with the
catalytic heater. Do not attempt to adjust.
• BURN HAZARD
• Never leave catalytic heater unattended when
hot or in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or
where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).
• 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 catalytic
heater is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition
sources or while catalytic heater is hot to touch.
• During operation, this product can be a source of
ignition. Never use the catalytic heater in spaces that
contain or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles,
or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner,
dust particles or unknown chemicals. Minimum
clearances from combustible materials: 24 inches.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings
into the combustion chamber.
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect
propane cylinder and catalytic heater 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.
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An
odorant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a “rotten 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.
• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any
way or use with any device or part not specifically
designed and sold for this product.
