PROPOSITION 65: This appliance contains fiberglass
insulation. Respirable particles of fiberglass are known to State
of California to cause cancer.
All manufacturer products meet current federal OSHA
Guidelines for safety. California Proposition 65 warnings are
required for certain products, which are not covered by the
OSHA standards.
California’s Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in
California that contain or produce any of over 600 listed
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or
birth defects such as fiberglass insulation, lead in brass, and
combustion products from natural vapor.
All “new equipment” shipped for sale in California will have
labels stating that the product contains and/or produces
Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we have not changed our
processes, having the same label on all our products facilitates
manufacturing and shipping. We cannot always know “when, or
if” products will be sold in the California market.
You may receive inquiries from customers about chemicals
found in, or produced by, some of our heating and
air-conditioning equipment, or found in natural vapor used with
some of our products. Listed below are those chemicals and
substances commonly associated with similar equipment in our
industry and other manufacturers.

Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), at www.oehha.org.
Consumer education is important since the chemicals and
substances on the list are found in our daily lives. Most
consumers are aware that products present safety and health
risks, when improperly used, handled and maintained.
