IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
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 death.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light a match, or cigarette,
or turn on any gas or electrical
appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
Clear the room, building or area of
all occupants.
Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions carefully.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
