Properly adjusted appliances, indicated by the bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by further venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. The cooktop, as shipped from the factory, can only be operated with natural gas. High flames and toxic fumes could cause serious injury.
