wArNINg
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
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.
