IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE! The California Safe Drinking Water

and Toxic Enforcement 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 L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted

appliances, indicated by the bluish rather than a yellow flame, will

minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can be minimized by further venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. The

cooktop, as shipped from the factory, can only be operated with

natural gas. High flames and toxic fumes could cause serious injury.

If you wish to use your cooktop

with L.P. gas, you must convert

the cooktop following the

procedure found in the installation

instructions shipped with your
