Gas Range Use and Care & Installation Guide
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 cancer, birth defects or
other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
c
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances,
namely benzene,
carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde
and
soot, caused
primtily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or
LP
fuels, Properly adjusted burners, indicated
by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
