GAS FIRED BROILERS
WARNING
If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you to
substances in fuel or in fuel combustion 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.
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, we attached a yellow
warning label to each gas fired unit manufactured by the Montague Company.
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 Z223.1, Latest Addendum.
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 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 should be
performed by qualified service personnel.
If the equipment is not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the
above, 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, AND THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD 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.
