the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other 

reproductive harm. This warning is issued pursuant to California 

Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6.  
While this appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at 

the gas supply.

must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

During manufacturing, fabrication, and shipping, various com-

ponents of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films, or 

bonding agents. These chemicals ARE NOT harmful, but may

and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in period should 

last three to four hours. During this period, provide maximum 

ventilation by opening a window or door, to allow odors to dis-

sipate. Any odor remaining after this initial break-in period, will 

be slight and will disappear with continued use.
