RMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California
Safe Drinking
Water and
Toxic
Enforcement
Act
requires
the
Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
stances 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 yel-
low flame, will minimize
incomplete
combus-
tion° Exposure
to these substances
can be
minimized further by venting with an open win-
dow or using a ventilation fan or hood.

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.
