IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to
such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can
result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including
benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion -_
of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
