Coleman 2300 Series manual System Overview, Service Safety

General Safety Information cont.

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 and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

•Disconnect propane before storing the heater.

WARNING

Not for home or recreational vehicle use.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our products.

Check with your local fire safety authority if you have ques- tions about use.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specific uses. Your local authorities can advise you about these.

•Never refill disposable cylinders.

•Use the preset regulator that is installed in the water heater. Do not attempt to adjust.

WARNING

•BURN HAZARD

•Never leave heater 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 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 for water heating only. Never alter in any way or use with any device or part not expressly approved by Coleman.

•Always use in an upright position.

WARNING

If used on boats, use only above deck with disposable cylinders.

System Overview

Thank you for purchasing Coleman’s Hot Water on DemandTM unit. This portable and self-contained water heater provides hot water for cleaning, cooking, washing – it even makes water hot enough for a satisfying mug of tea, coffee or cocoa. Here are some of the key components.

Rotating Faucet – full-sized faucet stores in handle for convenient stor- age and swings out when not in use.

Over-Temp Indicator Light – when illuminated, the red light is signaling that the water temperatures have exceeded the maxi- mum temp of 160°F. The burner cycles off but water continues to run through heater. Burner will cycle on when water has cooled to 120°F.

Battery Low Indicator Light – when illuminated, the yellow light is signaling that the battery voltage is low and it is time to recharge. The burner will not light when the battery is low.

Charging Indicator Light – begins illuminated red, then will change to green to signal that the battery has been completely recharged.

Heat Exchanger – evenly and efficiently transfers heat from the burner to the copper heating coils.
