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 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
mono_ide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily 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 incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
