HOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment 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 pri-
marily by the Incomplete combustion of natural gas or
L.P. fuels.
Properly adjusted ranges, Indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize Incom-
plete combustion. Exposu re to these substances can be
minimized further
by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
