IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances°

Gas appliances cause minor exposure to four of

these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily

by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP

fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete

combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by venting with an open window

or using a ventilation fan or hood..

°Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves on

standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has these features, they must be recycled according to local, state and federal codes.
