instructions, this 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.

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 byproducts
of incomplete combustion. Properly

than yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
