IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICEThe Califomb Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb topublish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductiveharm, 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, carbonmonoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas orLP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimizeincomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an openwindow or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING: If the information in this

manual is not followed exactly, a fire or

explosion may result causing property

damage, personal injury or death.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUSMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch;

do not use any phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier

from a neighbor's phone. Follow the

gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier,

call the fire department.
