Safety Precautions
Before Use
WARNING
Only use designated exclusive Snow Peak fuel canisters with
these stoves. Do not use any other fuel canisters. Also,
different Snow Peak fuel canisters are specified for use with
different Snow Peak products. Please refer to the
warnings
below to ensure you are using the right combination.
■ Reason: Different gas cartridges have different
specifications for valve shape, nozzle thickness, and so on. Gas
leaks will occur due to these differences in basic design, which
could lead to ignition, fire or abnormal combustion.
WARNING
For GS-230
The designated exclusive fuel canisters are:
GP-500S (White background with
silver band)
GP-500BL (White background with
blue band
For GS-220
The designated exclusive fuel canisters are:
GP-500G (White background with
gold band)
GP-500S (White background with
silver band
■ Reason: The fuels are blended to enable optimum
performance of the stoves. Do not use any other
manufacturers’ fuel canisters.
WARNING
Do not place or use stoves or fuel canisters on burning hot
beaches, riverside rocks or paved roads in summer.
■ Reason: Under direct sunlight,
beaches, riverside rocks and paved
roads reach high temperatures. If you
place a fuel canister or use a stove in
these locations, the canister will heat
up and its internal pressure will
rapidly increase, which could lead to
the emission of large flames,
abnormal combustion, or explosion.
WARNING
These stoves are for outdoor use only. Do not use in a tent,
vehicle, or indoors.
■ Reason: During use, a large amount of oxygen is consumed.
Use in an enclosed space can lead to lack of oxygen, carbon
monoxide poisoning, or fire.
WARNING
For GS-230
Attachment and detachment of the fuel canister is done in
an upright (connector on top) vertical position. Never
overtighten. Liquid remaining in the valve will release
when the canister is detached, creating gas. Ensure that
there is good ventilation and no fire in the surrounding area
before detaching.
Upright
(connector on
top)
■ Reason: If you attach the canister
upside down, liquefied petroleum gas
will be forcefully ejected in liquid form,
which is extremely dangerous. Ensure
that there is no fire in the surrounding
area, and attach and detach the canister
in an upright state (connector on top).
The threading that connects the canister
and the stove is extremely important.
Overtightening the canister or attaching
it on an angle, will damage the
connector, causing gas leakage.
WARNING
For GS-220
Fuel canisters are attached vertically, with the connector
facing upwards. Tighten with one hand, and not with two.
■ Reason: New canisters have liquid gas
filled right up to the top. If you attach it
while it is tilted on an angle, liquid gas
will be forcefully ejected, which is
extremely dangerous. Ensure that there is
no fire in the surrounding area, and attach
the canister an upright state. The
threading that connects the canister and
the stove is extremely important. Using
both
hands
will
overtighten
the
connection, damaging the connector or
the canister.
Hold in a
vertical
position, and
tighten with
one hand
WARNING
Inspect the rubber O-ring on the connector every time you use
it. If the ring is worn or damaged, contact Snow Peak or the
store where you purchased this product.
■ Reason: The O-ring will become worn
due to the attachment and detachment of
fuel canisters. The rubber O-ring will
deteriorate even if it is not used. Using a
deteriorated or damaged O-ring will cause
gas leakage.
Exclusive O-ring: GPP-007
