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
appliance.
