GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid being killed or seriously injured, READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW
ALL warnings and instructions in this manual before you use this stove.
This stove is a lightweight, compact device made for cooking outdoors. Please
consult with your local outdoor retailer to learn more about cooking outdoors. Seek
qualified instruction before you venture outdoors.
You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your group. This
manual is not intended to replace your good judgment.
Fuel Canister Safety
This stove uses a liquid pressurized gas (LPG) canister that is highly flammable and
explosive. Use only MSR
®
premium blend canister fuel, 70 Butane/30 Propane or
80 IsoButane/20 Propane mix, certified to EN 417 (4 ounces/113 grams or
8 ounces/227 grams). Do not attempt to fit other types of gas canisters. For any
fuel canister, follow this safety information:
• Listen and smell for leaking gas. Leaking gas is a serious hazard. LPG is
invisible and odorless, and strong odorant additives can fade over time.
Leaks are not always detectable by smell. Do not use this stove if it is
leaking or damaged, or it does not operate properly.
• Check that the stove and fuel canister connection is secure and tight. If the
connection does not look or feel secure, or you hear or smell leaking gas, do
not use stove or canister. Move stove to a well-ventilated area away from any
ignition source to locate and stop the leak. Only check for leaks outdoors
using soapy water. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame.
• Only change the canister outside and away from people and any source
of ignition.
• Never use fuel canisters larger than 8 ounces (227 grams) or more than 4
inches (10 centimeters) in height, because oversized canisters increase stove
instability.
• Check the seals before connecting a new fuel canister to the stove. Do not
use stove if seals are damaged or worn.
• Keep stove and fuel canister away from other heat sources. If you expose the
fuel canister to high heat, the canister will explode or leak and you can be
killed or seriously burned.
• Follow all warnings on fuel canister regarding use and storage.
Always disconnect stove from canister before storing it. Failure to disconnect stove from canister before
storing may cause fuel to leak and cause fire, burns, severe injury or death. Always store fuel canisters in a
well-ventilated location away from any possible heat or ignition source, such as water heaters, stoves, pilot
lights or furnaces, or where temperatures exceed 120 F (49 C). Storing fuel canisters near any heat or ignition
source, or where temperatures exceed 120 F (49 C), can result in the canister exploding and causing fire,
burns, severe injury or death.
Never overtighten fuel canister to stove. Overtightening can damage stove or canister and cause fuel to leak.
Leaking fuel can cause fire, burns, severe injury or death. The canister must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the CAN/CSA 339.
Use extreme caution when using stove in temperatures below freezing. In freezing temperatures O-rings can
stiffen and leak fuel. Always check for fuel leaks before and after lighting stove. Use of a leaking stove can
cause fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Keep children far away from stove and fuel—Cascade Designs, Inc. recommends no less than 10 feet (3+
meters). Never leave a burning or hot stove unattended. An unattended stove can lead to fire or a situation
where children, pets, or the unwary can be burned, injured, or killed.
Keep combustibles at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from the top and sides of a burning stove, or a stove
that you are in the process of lighting. Keep flammable liquids and vapors at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) away
from the top and sides of a burning stove, or a stove that you are in the process of lighting. This stove can
ignite combustible materials, flammable liquids and vapors and create a situation where fire, burns, severe
injury or death can result.
Never attempt lighting stove if Flame Adjuster Valve is left open. If Flame Adjuster Valve is left open, close
it immediately and thoroughly ventilate area before lighting stove. Failure to ventilate area can result in an
explosion that can cause fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Never move a burning or hot stove. Always extinguish stove and cool for at least 5 minutes before moving.
Moving a burning or hot stove can cause fire, burns, severe injury or death. Never use cookware or an Outback
Oven™ with a diameter greater than 8 inches (20.3 centimeters). Never place and operate two or more
stoves together. Never operate stove with empty or dry cookware. Never use non-MSR® reflectors or diffusers.
Use of stove in any of the preceding manners can result in the fuel canister exploding and causing fire, burns,
severe injury or death. Never use cookware of any size that is ill-suited or inappropriate for use with stove or
stove pot supports (e.g., cookware with a convex or concave bottom, some enameled cookware, etc.). Use
of stove with ill-suited and/or inappropriate cookware can result in cookware and/or stove instability and a
situation where hot cookware and/or cookware contents can spill and cause fire, burns, severe injury or death.
Never place your head or body above the stove while lighting or cooking. Because stove maintains an
open flame, placement of head or body above stove is an unsafe practice that can cause fire, burns, severe
injury or death.
