IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause 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 by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

Glass: There are two t)pes of glass
cookware--those fi)r oven rise only

Glass conducts heat ve_' slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
tor either surlilce or ()veil cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very

Stove TopGrills
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burne_. If you use tile st()ve top grill
