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.

risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal
