- IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe DrinMng Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, 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 inconiplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by
a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will inininiize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be nüiiiiïiized by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
