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.
