IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can
also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room
where the appliance is located.
