2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode. Any
material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in the
dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids
or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in
homes, such as: acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled
latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials must not be dried on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.

Important Safety
Notice & Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low–level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde, and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept
free of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will
minimize exposure.
