IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 s 'tare 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 fimls.
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.
