 SAFETY NOTICE

The 

California Safe Drinking Water and 

Enforcement Act requires the governor of
California to

to the state to cause cancer, 

 defects or other

reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.

 appliances can cause minor exposure

to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,

 primarily by the incomplete combustion

of natural gas or 

 fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete
