P/N 3000012219 REV. A Page 24
The State of California enacted the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
of 1986, (Prop. 65), which “prohibits any person in the course of doing business from knowingly
and intentionally exposing any individual to a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving clear and reasonable warning to such
individuals.” The Governor’s Scientific Advisory Panel added carbon monoxide to the list of
hazardous chemicals known to cause reproductive harm.
In order to establish full compliance with Proposition 65, a yellow warning label has been
attached to each gas-fired unit manufactured by Blodgett.
Carbon monoxide would not be present in concentrations that would pose a “significant risk” to
the consumer when the equipment is installed, operated and maintained as follows:
1. Installed in accordance with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Addenda.
2. Installed under a properly designed and operating exhaust hood.
3. Connected to the type of gas for which the unit is equipped.
4. Proper appliance pressure regulator installed on the gas supply line and adjusted for the
manifold pressure marked on the rating plate.
5. Adequate air supply to the unit.
6. The equipment is operated in the manner intended and using the proper utensil for that
type of appliance.
7. Keep the equipment clean and have it checked periodically.
8. Burner air adjustments, mechanical maintenance and repairs must be performed by
qualified service personnel.
WARNING:
If the equipment is not installed, operated and maintained in accordance
with the above requirements, concentrations of carbon monoxide in excess of the
established limits could be present in the kitchen environment.
**
ALL PERSONNEL IN THE WORKPLACE WHO MAY BE SUBJECT TO ANY
EXPOSURE OF CARBON MONOXIDE MUST BE WARNED OF SUCH POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE. THIS WARNING SHOULD BE CONVEYED IN A MANNER SO THAT IT
IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE EMPLOYEE. THE EMPLOYEE MUST BE
ASKED IF IN FACT HE OR SHE UNDERSTANDS THE CORRECT METHOD OF
OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THAT A RISK OF EXPOSURE EXISTS IF
THE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATED IMPROPERLY.
WARNING
If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, this product could expose you to fuel or fuel combustion substances,
which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm
