California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancm, 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 fuels.

Properly adjusted &Ters will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions carefully.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
