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 ofpotential exposure tosuch substances.

Gasappliances 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 yeflow 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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the instafler show you the location of the range gas

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

_t{_;Always use the LITE position when igniting

file top burners and make sure the burners
hme ignited.

;_i:,:Nexer leave file sur/_ace burners unattended

at high flame setfing:s. Boiloxers cause
smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

does not exmnd hevond tile edge of tile
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

_i:,iUse only d U pot holders--moist or damp

pot holders on hot snrfaces may result in

come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other

1)ulky cloth in place of a pot holden
