ARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known to
the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of natural gas can result in
low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot, due primarily to the incom-
plete combustion of natural gas. Properly
adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances
can also be minimized by properly venting
the burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cook-
ware may be equally harmful.
