DANGER

???CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

???This grill is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely 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 grill.

???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. If stored indoors, detach cylinder outdoors.

???Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This grill consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

WARNING

???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 odor- ant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

???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 and with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) Standards A-1 (9), Marine Liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG) Systems.

???Turn off propane and disconnect cylinder when not in use.

???Cylinders must be stored out of reach of children.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

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.

WARNING

???BURN HAZARD

???Never leave grill unattended when hot or in use.

???Keep out of reach of children.

CAUTION

???SERVICE SAFETY

???Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and grill 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 grill frequently to avoid grease accumulation and possible grease fires.

Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Cylinders

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane) is highly flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the section titled ???LEAK CHECK???).

WARNING

Your new grill is only to be operated with 16.4 oz. disposable propane gas cylinders. DO NOT attempt to attach any other type of L.P. gas connections or natural gas connections.

Maintenance

WARNING

??? Do not overheat grill. Stainless steel loses anti-corrosive characteristics when subjected to extreme heat.

???About stainless steel - Stainless steel exposed to prolonged periods of high heat will change color and texture. Coleman grills require little preheating. Texture and color change is normal on interior components and will not affect the operation or performance of the product.

???Cleaning - Clean the exterior surface after every use. Use soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry. We recommend covering the grill between uses. Optional covers are available from Coleman retailers or direct from Coleman.

CAUTION: Abrasive pads or cleaners will damage the finish.

???Interior components - Remove heavy residue from grill and empty grease tray between each use. We recommend cleaning all accessible surfaces, and all removable components, at least once a year, depending on amount of use, and always prior to long term storage.

???Grill grates - Clean with brass wire brush while grill is warm. Wash with soapy water and dry prior to storage.

???Ceramic electrode - Located just beside the burner, it should be kept clean of grease and debris. Be careful not to damage the ceramic insulator or bend the wire. See page 10 for proper electrode spark adjustment.

???Regulator control valve - Do not attempt to disassemble the valve in any way. Call Coleman if you suspect it's not adjusting the fuel flow properly. Clean valve with a clean cloth and remove any debris obstructing the gas outlet orifice.
