WARNING
If not installed, operated and maintained in

this product could expose you to substances in
fuel or from fuel combustion which can cause
death or serious illness and which are known to

harm.
WARNING:
IF THE INFORMATION IN
THIS MANUAL IS NOT FOLLOWED
EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
For example, benzene is a chemical which is
part of the gas supplied to the cooking
product. It is consumed in the flame during
combustion. However exposure to a small
amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak
occurs. Formaldehyde and soot are by-
products of incomplete combustion.
Properly adjusted burners with a bluish
rather than yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
