IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
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 can 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.
