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.
