IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The Californb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Californb 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 abluish rather than a ye#ow 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 sma# amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window orusing a ventilation

fan or hood.

Glass conducts heat ve_w slowly.

Stove TopGrills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed

gas burners. If' you use tile st_we top grill
on the sealed gas bm'ne_; it will cause

incomplete combustion and can result
