iMPORTANT SAFETY NOTnCE o Be sure all packing materials are removed
o 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.
o 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.

the location of the range

shut it off if necessary.

from the range before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage, should the packing material
ignite.
o Locate range out of kitchen traffic path and
out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage
(on models with standing pilots) and poor air
circulation.

ty having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury or
property damage. The qualified agency per-
forming this work assumes responsibdity for
the conversion.
o After prolonged use of a range, high floor tem-
peratures may. result and many floor cover-
