SaFeTY PReCaUTIONS

IMPORTaNT SaFeTY NOTICe

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic enforcement act requires the governor of California

to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,

and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas

or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
