WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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

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 primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

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

discarded, remove the door to the drying

compartment.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the dryer is used near children.

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

• Keep area around the exhaust opening and

adjacent surrounding areas free from the

accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent

should be cleaned periodically by qualified

service personnel.
