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 combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by
properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance
is used near children.
WARNING!
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the dryer.
• Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
