65)requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or repro- ductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize in- complete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by prop- erly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
