WARNING

If not installed, operated and maintained in

product could expose you to substances in fuel or
from fuel combustion which can cause death or
serious illness and which are known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: IF THE INFORMATION IN

THIS MANUAL IS NOT FOLLOWED
EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

For example, benzene is a chemical which is part
of the gas supplied to the cooking product. It is
consumed in the flame during combustion.
However exposure to a small amount of benzene
is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde and
soot are by-products of incomplete combustion.
Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather
than yellow flame will minimize incomplete
combustion.
