SAFETY
NOTICE
&
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or repro-
ductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposures to
such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in Iow-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petrole-
um (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept
free of obstructions and properly exhausted
dryers will minimize exposure.
