Coleman Three Burner Camp 446B Instruction Manual

To set up your Coleman Three Burner Camp Stove 446B, start by unfolding the legs and ensuring the stove is on a stable surface. Attach the propane cylinder securely to the regulator, and then connect the regulator to the stove. Open the fuel valve slightly and ignite with a match or lighter. Adjust the flame using the burner control knobs.
If a burner won't ignite, ensure that the propane tank is properly connected and turned on. Check if the burner ports are clogged with debris and clean them with a soft brush. Verify that the control knob is turned to the ignite position. If the problem persists, inspect the regulator hose for any damage or blockages.
To clean your stove, first ensure it is completely cool and disconnected from the propane source. Remove the grates and wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the burners and stove surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly.
Store your Coleman 446B in a cool, dry place. Make sure it is clean and completely dry before storage to prevent rust. It is advisable to detach the propane cylinder and store it separately. Cover the stove with a protective case or cloth to keep it dust-free.
An uneven or low flame can be caused by low propane levels, so check your propane tank first. Ensure the regulator is properly connected and that there are no kinks in the hose. Clean the burner ports as they might be clogged. Adjust the control knobs to see if the flame responds.
Yes, you can use the stove in windy conditions, but it is advisable to use a windscreen or set up in a sheltered area to prevent the flame from being extinguished. Ensure the stove is stable and keep an eye on the flame intensity, adjusting as necessary.
The Coleman 446B is designed to be used with standard propane cylinders. Ensure you use the appropriate size and type as specified in the user manual for optimal performance and safety.
Regular maintenance should be performed after every few uses. This includes cleaning the burners, checking for gas leaks, and inspecting the hose and regulator. Additionally, perform a thorough inspection and cleaning at the start and end of each camping season.
If you smell gas, immediately turn off the stove and the propane supply. Check all connections for leaks using a soapy water solution; bubbles will indicate a leak. Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged parts before resuming use. Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area.
To improve efficiency, use cookware with a flat bottom that fully covers the burner flame. Cook with lids on pots and pans to retain heat. Position the stove away from wind and use a windscreen if necessary. Preheat the stove before cooking and regulate the flame to a medium setting for most cooking tasks.
