???Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This stove 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 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 4 and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
