IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The Califomb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb to
publish a list of substances 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 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.

WARNING: If the information in this

manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch;
do not use any phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the
gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be

performed by a qualified installer,

service agency or the gas supplier.
