 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 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 incomplete combustion of natural
gas or 

 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.
